Pilot Newspaper, Blair, Nebraska
1 July 1908

A DesMoines man, with a great pig, panoramic camera arrived in town yesterday and took a panoramic view of the streets of Blair, beginning at the National bank corner and sweeping clear around to the Gutschow corner.  Some could not see hot this could be done but the camera moves right around and the film is arranged in circular form so that focus is upon it all the way round.  He developed the film and soon had a proof on the streets taking order for it, selling quite a number.  He could not stay to solicit thoroughly so he left the sale of it with the Mayle store.  Se it, it is worth the price.  They will also have some post cards made of it in colors, for which they have the exclusive sale.
