Excerpt from Abel's Photographic Weekly, Vol. 30: July 1, 1922 But there is no place like home, whether it be east or west, in plain or mountain, in the city or in some isolated community. Speaking generally, photographers seem to have done better during the past months in the west than in the east. Yet it is not all roses and we found some photographers in the North-east who were falling behind in their business. But as the Pacific Coast is the playground of those who have money to spend and with the very evident signs of a return to normal business in the east, the slight slump on the Coast should not be of long duration. The Seattle convention of the Pacific North-west photographers was most interesting. Dynamic George Harris was the feature of the meeting and at the close of his second address, the members gave him three rousing cheers. He spoke of co-operation between employer and employes, of methods of arousing interest in photography, of office systems and numerous other things which will not be readily forgotten by those who heard him. The display of pictures was really a splendid one. The fine collection from the National and the foreign exhibits were added to by the pic tures of local photographers. And again we have to express our admira tion for the fine work being done by these photographers of the North west. Both in portraiture and in commercial work, they easily rank with the good ones of the east. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
