1855 November 14.  The Coxsackie Union.  (Coxsackie, New York.)  November 14, 1855, Vol. V, No. 31, Whole No. 230, P. 3.

Daguerreotypes.  The Subscriber, having constructed a Saloon with reference to the best facilities for taking Daguerreotypes, would announce to the inhabitants of Coxsackie and vicinity, that being located for a short time in Coxsackie, he is ready to wait on all those who wish for a clear, accurate, life like Daguerreotype Likeness!  Which all may have who will give a sitting, being determined (without any boasting or high sounding pretensions,) to fully answer the desires of any one who may wish to procure a first rate picture.  Although but a few years have elapsed since Daguerre first announced his wonderful discovery, it is now known in all civilized lands, and thousands there are who rejoice in the possession of the faithful miniature, which reveals the form, features and expression of some departed friend; and yet there are thousands, yes, millions, who morn the loss of friends, an accurate likeness of whom would be of inestimable worth.

Portraits and Daguerreotypes accurately copied.  Likenesses set in Lockets, Bracelets, &c.  Children can be taken best between the hours of 9 and 1.  Sick or deceased persons attended at their residences.  Suggestions.—Dark attire takes better than light.  Dark red and green take black, pink, light blue and light green are not good.  Figured dresses with strong contrast take well—plain better.—Dress with much luster show lighter than those with less.  Particular attention is given to persons having light or weak eyes.  Such persons are assured their eyes will be taken clear and expressive.  L. E. Knight.

Advertisement was recorded five times between November 14, 1855 and January 2, 1856.
