	When Edward Gardner Lewis convinced Taxile Doat to come from France to University City to head up the ceramics division of the Art Academy, he also convinced Doat to sell his personal ceramics collection to the school to be put on display and to serve as inspiration to the students.

The horse drawn van is on Delmar Boulevard next to the Woman's Magazine Building, preparing to turn onto Oberlin (now Harvard) to go to the Art Academy Building. This photograph appeared in "The Woman's National Daily" on January 15, 1910

	The St. Louis Star, a daily newspaper, was purchased by the Lewis Publishing Company in the fall of 1908. The newspaper occupied a building at 12th and Olive Streets in downtown St. Louis. This photograph, taken looking north on 12th Street, shows the St. Louis Star building, and just beyond it, the Hotel Jefferson. Typical of the times, street traffic includes horses and wagons, street cars and automobiles.
	The Lewis Publishing Company used a fleet of motorized trucks to deliver the newspapers and magazines to the railroad terminal. In this photograph, six of the trucks are lined up on the streets west and south of the Woman's National Daily Building. The horse drawn wagon in the center of the photograph is delivering large rolls of newsprint.
	Edward Gardner Lewis was an inventor, and one of the things he hoped to perfect was a bottle stopper made from paper trimmings from his printing plants. For several years his Development and Investment Company worked in a building in St. Louis City. In 1909, Lewis hired architects Helfensteller, Hirsch and Watson, to design a new building to be built in University City. It was built on 2.5 acres north of the Art Academy, next to the Creve Coeur Streetcar tracks (now Kingsland and Vernon Avenues). In this photograph, taken on November 26, 1909, the exterior of the building appears to be complete, although there are still construction materials on the ground.
	This photograph was taken looking northeast from the Creveling farm. The Woman's National Daily Building is on the right. The octagonal Woman's Magazine Building is in the center. The Italian Renaissance Revival mansion, stables and carriage house that belonged to Jackson Johnson are on the left. Johnson was one of University City's first aldermen. Washington Avenue curved south around the Johnson property, and Williams Avenue, running vertically across the center of the photograph, was south of Washington. Williams seems to have just been graded and curbs constructed, but it comes to a dead end in the middle of a field.
