This photo was taken just after Boner's first term. The photographic company, Boning & Small, intensely campaigned for Boner's re-election, having been heavily inspired by one of Boner's speeches he'd recited during his first term:
"To all men big and small, Boner Adams is a servant of the people,
and should the Negros detest my presence,
I will smite them with my father's hammer."
Though his beliefs at the time would certainly be deemed as insensitive and cruel today, the small company of Boning & Small never felt more enthusiastic about their nation's leaders, and that is how B&S got its name.
