This photo of Bernard Calandra was displayed in all Calandra Camera Company stores. After immigrating to the United States, Calandra was a dishwasher by day and learned English at night in New York City. He then came to Omaha, Neb. Here he had a pony photography business, then moved to an Omaha newspaper. He opened a store called Acme Studio and also had a photo finishing business. His work eventually culminated in the Calandra Camera Company.
