1904: “THE COLUMBIA GALLERY:- The desire to preserve the pictured semblance of loved ones is as natural as life itself and we take pleasure in presenting to our many readers a brief sketch of Messrs. Seifert & Leopold, photographers of the Columbia Gallery. These gentlemen are both expert artists and have spent several years in the business. They do all kinds of photograph work, and viewing. The effort of their life is spent with newly married couples, groups, students, and babies.” Washington County News, (Forest Grove) 30 June 1904, pg. 5. (courtesy Eric Stewart)
1907: “The many friends of Archie Bryant will be glad to hear that he has purchased the photograph gallery of E. F. Siefert and will put in a high grade lense which he used in San Francisco in one of the biggest galleries in the Golden Gate city. He will also put in new screens and backgrounds and will have the peer of any studio west of Portland. Mr. Bryant is well known in this city, having received his education here and is a popular, jolly good fellow, which together with his artistic ability ought to insure him a good business. Miss Lilly who has been in the employ of Mr. Siefert will continue to work in the gallery. Mr. Bryant will take charge in person after August 1.” Washington County News, 18 July 1907
