F A Mentgen



Photographer: F. A. Mentgen, Manager
Chicago Photo Co.
exanple from LOST GALLERY

Searches for F A Mentgen and F A Mentger revealed nothing. Three small ads for Chicago Photo Co were found, two in the Sterling (IL) Gazette, 1881 and 1888; one in the Chicago Tribune 1897.

Closest photographer found with a similar name and proximity, was Fred A Mintzer, of Evansville, IL. This is probably not the manager of the Chicago Photo Co..

Perhaps another cabinet card will be found with a bit more information.
