Robert F. Pack had a long history of interest in electric lights. In 1912 he became president of the Canadian Electrical Association, then went on to Minnesota where he became General Manager of the Minneapolis General Electric Company. In 1922 his service would be rewarded when he became vice president of the National Electric Light Association in the United States. This photograph was given by Edison to Pack, and we obtained it from the Pack descendants. It has never before been offered for sale.
