Administrative history
In 1925 John W. Gibson and his family, wife Martha "Queenie" and sons Sheldon and Murray, moved to Saskatoon and set up a studio at 650 Broadway Avenue specializing in commercial and portrait photography. He also took photos in rural areas. To augment their income during the Depression, Queenie and the boys did amateur photofinishing. Murray joined the firm in 1945, and by 1952 he and Queenie formed a partnership as John W. was in failing health. The studio expanded into photo supplies and moved away from photofinishing. For further information see Brock Silversides' article, "John W. Gibson : The Life and Work of a Prairie Photographer" in Saskatchewan History. - vol. 45, no. 1 (Spring 1993), p. 18-32. «
