Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 27, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 July 1911 — A FINE LOT OF VIEWS [ARTICLE]

A FINE LOT OF VIEWS

Of Interesting Places Secured by the “Kodak Fiends” of The Democrat Party. Misses Alice and Jennie Eib, who accompanied The Democrat party on its eastern trip a few weeks ago, are quite expert .with the kodak, and, of the 48 “shots” taken, 40 are good; many of them excellent.

Miss Nellie Eck of Carpenter tp., had also had experience with a kodak and no doubt secured many fine pictures. The Misses Daugherty were novices at taking shots and a smaller per cent of their negatives are good than the others, although .some of their pictures perhaps surpass any of the others in distinctness. These pictures will be cherished for a life-time as souvenirs of a most delightful trip, one

never to be forgotten by any of the fourteen members of the party.

The views include several taken at Niagara Falls, the Bronk monument; the high bridge at Poughkeepsie; views along the Hudson ; battleships and sailing vessels; Cleopatra’s Needle in Central Park; Grant’s Tomb; the national capitol; the congressional library at Washington; the White House; the old church at Norfolk which still has imbedded in its wall a cannon ball fired by the British more than a century ago; the famous Hotel Chamberlain at Old Point Comfort ; the Washington mansion at Mt. Vernon, and many others, making a most interesting collection.
