1855-1856       Rowan House, Salisbury, North Carolina.

1855 November 13.  Republican Banner.  (Salisbury, North Carolina.)  November 13, 1855, Vol. 3, No. 23, Whole No. 127, P. 3.

Daguerreotype Likenesses taken And Put up in the Neatest Possible Style By Z. S. Coffin, All persons wishing their Likenesses taken in a style which cannot be surpassed in this or any other State, would do well to call at The Rowan House, where I will remain a few days, and will take great pleasure in accommodating any and all persons who may favor me with a call.

I have reduced my prices in order that all, even those in the most humble circumstances, may be enable to secure their likeness.

Fail not to call as a like opportunity may never return.

Full satisfaction given or no remuneration demanded.

I would also say, that is any person or persons have lost a dear relative or friend, have only left one Daguerreotype, can have it copied and secure as many likenesses from it as desired.  I also set Likenesses very neatly in Breast Pins, Finger Rings and all kinds of Lockets.

Instructions given in the Art and Apparatus furnished on very reasonable terms if desired.

Advertisement was recorded on November 13 and December 18, 1855 and January 1 & 8, 1856.
