CHENEY'S ART GALLERY.
One of the finest photographic studios on
the Pacific Coast, was founded by E. S.
Cheney, a skillful artist, in 1894, having since
developed in art and science to a first-class
institution, turning out the best in every par
ticular. The purpose of the founder has been
to do nothing but good, acceptable work,
meanwhile using nothing but first-class ma
terial, believing that, by so doing, the pat
rons of the gallery would not only appreciate
endeavor, but be fully satisfied and persuad
ed to place their orders. The gallery lias
done a large amount of business, which is
undiminished at this time. The present pro
prietor, James T. Rait, purchased the busi
ness during the past year and has moved the
building across the street to his own proper
ty and has introduced new features and other
wise improved the facilities for turning out
first-class work. Misses Ethel and Edith
Cheney are still connected with the new man
agement. The business of the gallery con
sists of rortraits in water-color, crayon and
pastel. The best of carbon finish, always
using the latest style of mounting. Every
thing in that line up to date. They are
making stamp photos by the thousand. The
only first-class photograph gallery in Oregon
City.
