"Many of the most scenic postcards of the Oregon area were produced by Sawyer’s Studio...'Carlton Sawyer established a studio in Portland in 1911 where he produced his famous “Sawyer’s Scenic Photos” until 1917. In 1918, brothers Fred and Ed Mayer bought part of Sawyer’s. In 1926, Harold Graves joined Sawyer’s and was responsible for Sawyer’s producing photographic postcards and album sets as souvenirs. Later, photographic greeting-cards were added to the product line and sold to major department stores.' In 1939, Graves formed a partnership with Wilhelm Gruber who invented the View-Master which was introduced at the 1939 World’s Fair. During the 1940’s and 50’s, the company mainly produced reels of various national parks and scenic attractions across the country." - blog.portorfordhistoricalphotos.org You can read more fully about the Sawyer history and related info by following these links: http://www.pdxhistory.com/html/post_card_history.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawyer%27s There is text along the bottom of the photo, incorporated into the film negative, which reads, "14-325 Chipmunk at Lunch - Oregon Caves Sawyers" Posted from Grants Pass, Oregon in October 1944.
