A 5.75" x 9.5" photograph of Max Meyer & Company. Meyer, the owner of this establishment that sold dry goods and clothing, fell in love with a lady of questionable virtue named Miss Raymond. She was interested in marrying Meyer, but he said it would be impossible. Whether it was because he was otherwise committed, or because she was a Gentile, is not known. What is known is that shortly after this rejection, Miss Raymond committed suicide after which time Mayer, saying he was going on vacation, fled Goldfield, never to return. The lot also includes a billhead from the store. Photographer was P.E. Larson of Goldfield. Formerly known as P.E. Larss when he was a photographer in the Klondike. -60335
