“Harris & Ewing Inc. was a photographic studio in Washington, D.C., owned and run by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing. Harris worked for the Hearst News Service in San Francisco from 1900 to 1903. As a rookie news photographer, Harris covered the Johnstown, Pa., flood of 1889. He worked at Hearst News Service in San Francisco from 1900 to 1903, then joined Roosevelt's press entourage on a train trip. According to the papers nominating the studio to the National Register of Historic Places, “the president personally urged him to start a photographic news service in Washington because it was so difficult at that time for out-of-town newspapers to get timely photographs of notable people and events in the Nation's Capital”. Harris and Ewing opened their studio in 1905”. – Wikipedia

Mr and Mrs Paul R. Henry are shown depositing their ballots while Miss Magdalena Gale registers them, 4/30/38”. Photographed by Harris & Ewing.

Nelm Clark, 16-year old Washington youngster, solved this problem by combining a lawn mower motor with a set of motor cycle gears to make this unusual midget auto. Costing $60 to build the contraption weighs only 150 pounds – the weight is its main feature – and if you run out of gas you easily push it or tuck it under your arm and walk home, 3/30/1937”.
