and the other is James B. Blanchard at Plaza Gallery, 513 N. Main (r. sw cor. of Sunset Boulevard and Lucile)
I had a feeling that I'd seen an advert for Blanchard's photography studio, so I went back to the 1897 CD. I may have remembered wrongly, but I did notice a lot of page header adverts for the Garden City Foto Company at 606 E 5th Street. This is their main advert, showing how they get their unique 25-foot elevation (although they only claim 18 foot in the picture).
