James A. McCormick
Photographer.
Arkansas City Republican, October 11, 1884.
One more man from Wellington commences business in Arkansas City. Last Monday J. A. McCormick rented the photograph gallery of Mrs. D. W. Stevens and took possession immediately. Judging from samples of Mr. McCormick’s work shown us, we feel safe in saying he understands his business. His care appears in another column. Read it and then go and see Mr. McCormick.

Arkansas City Republican, November 15, 1884.
During the stay of the Edwin Clifford troupe in our city a short time ago Miss Constance Stanley, Mrs. Louisa Haven, and others of the combination, hearing of J. A. McCormick’s skill as an artist, through their acquaintance, Albert Levy, called on him to sit for a negative. Jim did such good work that the troupe promises to become lucrative patrons of his art gallery. Miss Stanley takes two hundred cabinets at one order, and the remainder will probably do likewise.

H. G. Chipchase, J. A. McCormick, Tom Dinwoodie, Abe Rosenfeld, Albert Levy, A. W. Patterson, Pete Killiam, C. Vernon, A. G. Kirkpatrick, and Joe McDowell, in three carriages, took the B. I. T. by storm Saturday evening. For one whole day throwing business cares away and escaping from the accustomed din of their daily routine—such as “Cheap Clothings,” “Dinner for Two,” “Pass the Jack Plane this way,” “Two to one on Cleveland,” “Hello,” etc., they amused themselves by pointing their guns south and killing some poor unfortunate ones to the east or west. These, however, had better luck; they came back Sunday night with four bad colds, three bad headaches, one broken carriage, two quails, and a coon. They claim, however, that they did not bring all their game back with them, which is true. The corpses by the way-side speak for themselves.

OUR ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE CITY AND BUSINESS FIRMS.
Arkansas City Republican, December 20, 1884.
J. A. McCORMICK
is the youthful artist who has lately leased Mrs. D. W. Stevens’ art gallery. There is one thing which is welcome in every household, and that is the picture of a friend. Though absent in flesh, the counterfeit presentment keeps his memory bright and fresh in our minds. What a comfort it is to open the album and look upon the portraits of those whom we cannot have with us! Without the modern art gallery, the most of us would be denied this satisfaction. The gentleman mentioned above takes pride in granting your friends this satisfaction. His works are his recommendations. A glance at his samples will convince you, as an artist, he ranks second to none in the state.

Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, August 22, 1885.
Last Thursday evening a representative of the REPUBLICAN had the pleasure of being one of a large number who went fishing along the Arkansas.
J. A. McCormick and Miss Willie Reynolds were the chief managers, the former inviting the gentlemen and the latter, the ladies. They met at the home of Miss Reynolds, where the couples were arranged so as to suit all parties. Before starting it was discovered that they had no baits, but one of them informed the rest that an excellent bait could be manufactured out of flour and cotton. This was proven to be a good bait by the number of fish they caught.
It was late when they got to the river, but they improved their time, had considerable fun, and returned to the city carrying a great many fish—lines.
Arkansas City Republican, September 5, 1885.
James A. McCormick, who has been running Mrs. D. W. Stevens’ photography gallery for several months past, will soon take his departure for Cherryvale. Mr. McCormick will be succeeded by George Dresser, who has been associated with D. Rodocker, of Winfield. The Tribune speaks thus complimentary of Mr. Dresser. “Geo. H. Dresser, the photographer who has been associated with D. Rodocker for the past year and a half, left Thursday for Arkansas City, where he has made arrangements to run the Stevens gallery. Mr. Dresser has had 11 years experience in the art science and has proven himself to be a superior workman, a fact to which many of our citizens can testify, and we cheerfully recommend him to the citizens of the Terminus as a gentleman and an artist.”
Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, October 10, 1885.
J. A. McCormick took charge of Mr. Kelly’s photograph gallery in Winfield last week, while the latter was in Topeka. “Jim” came back Monday to resume his duties in Mr. Dresser’s gallery.
