Outley’s Sky Light Daguerrean Gallery.  Corner Washington avenue and Third street.  The subscriber having bought out the right of Mr. A. C. Denison in the Daguerrean Gallery, at the corner of Washington avenue and Third street, takes this opportunity of thanking the public for their liberal patronage of the old firm, and begs leave to say, that, although he has not the finest gallery in the United States, nor the likenesses of all the Distinguished Persons in the country, yet his rooms are always comfortable and his customers will always be [ ? ] with politeness and respect.

As for Daguerreotypes, he flatters himself that he can take as good a picture for one dollar and fifty cents as can be had at any other rooms in St. Louis for twice the money, and [moreover] he pledges himself to do it for all who may favor him with a call.  J. J. Outley.

P. S.  It being my object to get an honest living from my [talent] and not to ask too much of the public.  I have [ranged] my prices from one dollar to ten dollars; my ten dollar pictures warranted as good as can be had in St. Louis at any price.  J. J. O.

Outley & Denison are recorded in Craig’s Daguerreian Registry under Outley, John J. as Dennison (A. C.).  A more accurate date on the advertisement is October 3, probably 1851.  We also learn he was active prior to October 3 date in the partnership of Wood & Outley, this is possibly Gardner Wood based on entry dates in Craig’s Daguerreian Registry.
