J. A. Bennett and Sons, Gouverneur, New York

Description

Emblazoned on the side of this two-story brick building, beside a painted image of a sharply dressed man, is the advertisement: “Wear Well and Fit Well – Clothing – Bennett Bros.” Above the door, another sign reads “The $5.00 Champion Brooder – J. A. Bennett & Sons.” Likely tied to James A. Bennett (1841–1920) of Gouverneur, New York, and his son Colbert Austin Bennett (1879–1953), the scene sits not far from photographer Thomas Lafleur (1860–1951) in Cornwall, Ontario.
