"Compliments Of Mary Crum"
Cabinet card by Hutchings Bros. R. R. Photo Car. Written on the back is "Compliments of Mary Crum (or Crunn?) age 18 yrs., Donner, Kans., Mch. 13, 1887."
There were quite a number of photographers named Hutchings with railroad car studios. Hutchings Bros. , circa 1884-1886 (and obviously 1887) are listed in Brown's book on Traveling Photographers. There was also a "Hutchings & Crum Railroad Photo Car" that seems to have been connected. Perhaps Mary was part of the photographer's family?
