...............Fred N. Clark, owner of the studio, recognizing the historic value of photographs beyond their initial commercial use, purchased the negative collections of two other Portland studios, the George M. Weister Company, and Arthur M. Prentiss' Oregon Commercial Studio. Weister's photography began in 1895 as a sideline to his photographic supply business, but by 1914 he had become a full-time photographer. He traveled widely, and by 1907 he had photographed in many parts of the west coast from Los Angeles to Alaska.
