The Eastern Illustrating photographers were given traveling expenses, a small salary and commissions that were based on postcard sales.

They established a relationship with a store to carry the
postcards and then made a variety of photographs of local
landmarks and buildings and sent the exposed glass plates back to the factory in Belfast by rail to be processed.

Sample cards were sent back to the customer a few days later.
