Daguerrian Establishment.  Old Post Office Building, Post Office Street, Galveston.  Mrs. S. R. P. John has fitted up the Post Office Building in a handsome style, and having a superior arrangement of light, as well also as every other facility, she will be able to furnish Daguerreotype Likenesses equal in finish accuracy and effect to any other establishment in the South.  Mrs. John availed herself of the aid of Mr. Bickel an experienced artist, and feels confident of giving entire satisfaction to all who patronize her enterprise.

Daguerreotypes.  Messrs. Anderson & Bickel would most respectfully announce to the citizens of Galveston and vicinity, that they will continue the business at the old stand—the Sky-light Gallery—where one of the firm will always be found ready to give you a true likeness, while the other may be absent with the Daguerrean Car to the different towns in the State; the object is to permanently locate in Galveston, and do as good work as can be done in the Northern cities, and we hope by so doing, to merit the public patronage.
