      D. S. HUBER.

      Mr. D. S. Huber, artistic photographer, has won for his studio an enviable reputation since establishing here some vears ago. To speak of this studio as its merits deserve would indeed be most, complimentary to Mr. Huber's ability as a photographer. The studio is very inviting in appearance, rendered attractive by a beautiful display of photographic art which is pleasing to look upon. The studio is equipped with all the latest appliances, fine scenery, etc., and all classes of work is turned out, from a cabinet to the most elegant life size portrait To see the display of photographic art here is to appreciate it.
