This is a Cabinet Card from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.Bertha Bart DL ant
Logan was the photographer in Fargo Dakota. North Dakota became a State in 1889 so this photo was taken before that time.  Samuel H Logan was a photographer in Fargo from 1884 –1892.  His brother James took over the business in 1892 –1893.  IF this photo was taken in 1894 then they were using old cardstock and not advertizing for themselves who ever the photographer was.  I tend to think that the person marking the photo was off by a few years.
