| Commercial photographer Sumner Matteson took pictures of American Indian rituals that were used in museum and magazine publications. These photographs of American Indian women and pottery and baskets were used widely in Harvey Co. promotional literature. The ”Hair Dresser” photograph features Hopi women with their hair in ”butterfly whorls,” a hairstyle that represented purity in young American Indian women. The ”Hopi Basket Weaver” is another familiar trope used throughout Harvey Co. promotional literature to symbolize the industriousness of southwestern Indians.
