Photo taken of President William Howard Taft, by W.W. Brower. Taft was at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition for a week. More information on the expo can be found on the internet.
Our own Willis Brower had taken a trip with his family to Seattle in 1909 to visit West coast family members. He took his camera along and shot photos of his trip including this one of four of the POTUS. The other three sadly did not show clarity. He had taken photos of Taft on the back of a train car speaking but came out blurry.

The Wigwam that stood Southeast of Lodi on M66. I have been searching for this card for about two years now. I came across two copies of it within a week apart. I had already purchased this one from a friend of mine. The other one is still out in the wild as they say.
