  • Notes 
    • Business in Gretna was not dull in 1893 either! Photographer J. C. Voigt faced some competition when Alfred Knowles set up a barber shop and photographic studio in town. Voigt countered by moving his studio to the Queen's Hotel and adding a public bath to his list of attractions. Whether the ploy worked or Voigt's customers remained loyal to him, Knowles soon packed his camera case and left town. .....

      Other changes in the Gretna business world included the continuation of the photographic studio by George Viertel following the death of its previous owner J. C. Voigt.
