Goodrich 1 o
Own Studio
At Winston
r. W. Goodrich, who has been
Henderson's leading photographer!
for twenty years, and whose reputa
tion l'or excellence of work has ex
tended far beyond the bounds of the
State, has purchased a studio in Win
ston-Salem, and shortly will move
there to operate it and to make his
home.
Mr. Goodrich will take over the
studio of the late Ben Matthews,
who was for several years cnuirman
of the State Board of Photography
Examiners, of which Mr. Goodrich
was secretary. Both were instrumen
tal in having the business gVen the
rank of a profession and in creation |
of the board of examiners by the j
State legislature. Mr. Matthews rank-'
ed among the foremost photographers j
of the South.
For the past two weeks, Mr.
Goodrich has spent much of his time
in Winston-Salem, and this week
closed finally the transaction for tak
ing over tiis Matthews studio. It was i
ie:irncd today that he intends to re
tain his studio here ,in the hands ol'|
a capable photographer, who has not
yet been announced, and lhat he will
make frequent trips back here from
Winston-Salem even alter he moves
there.
Mrs. Goodrich and their three chil
dren probably will not follow Mr.
Goodrich to Winston-Salem until the
end <>L' the present school year, or
jthout that time. They will dispose of
their residence on Country Club
Drive, and will go to their new home
afterwards.
Mr. Goodrich has had his art dis
played at both State and national
conventions of photographers, has
held offices in the State organiza-|
tion, in which he is a past president
and secretary, and has spoken before
both. He has made studies of indivi
duals in many states, who have come
to his place of bu.-iness here for
work. His photographs, portraits and
miniatures have contributed to his
wide reputation for excellence of
work.
Mr. Goodrich is a member of the
Henderson Xiwanis club and has been
otherwise active in the civic life of
the community during his long resi
dence. and many expressions of re
pret at his departure have been heard
from those who have learned of his
decision.
