The Family Photographer

If you look through your own family photos, you'll probably find some with a cardboard frame and the inscription "Nelson Photographic Studio, Little Falls, Minn." 
THIS was the guy...lol

If you want to see the issue of Nichol's "Headlight" mentioned there, click here.  It's Little Falls boosterism from 1899, and it's pretty interesting.  Evidently, the Nichol's company was a subsidiary of (or paid for by) Northern Pacific Railway, cuz the whole 31 page booklet is peppered with references to where ELSE you might go by rail... ☺
