Two photos from an Ebay seller from Centennial, Colorado. These have been on Ebay for years and recently were reduced in price. The prices of photos have sky-rocketed recently, reaching ridiculous levels.

The first photo has no studio mark. On the back written in purple ink is Beda Janson. She is wearing a large bonnet tied to her head with wide ribbons. At her neck she was a shield-shaped broach.

Beda Janson.

Beda Janson, back.

The second photo is from the William Boswell studio of Traverse City. On the back in black ink is Beda Jonshon Julia J.

Beda Jonshon and Julia J.[onshon?]

Back of photo.

Beda and Julia are wearing identical dresses, bonnets, and broaches. Julia is seated in a wicker chair and there is some sort of fur rug beneath them. A painted backdrop is present.

As it turns out the two women are wearing the uniform of the Salvation Army.

My efforts to identify the two women were not successful.
