Activity
1904 - 1913 Liège, Boulevard d'Avroy, 18
Predecessor: Varlet O.
An international and multiple-branch business. This was almost certainly Samson's first address in Belgium. "W. Samson" at this address according to an advertisement in 1908 (La Meuse, 10.7.1908) and in Liège trade directories, 1907-1913. Leuchs' "Adressbuch aller Länder der Erde" in 1911 also lists a "W. Samson" at this address.
1904 * - 1914 > Bruxelles, Rue Neuve, 145 or 11<13-14>
When it was advertised in February 1904 that this studio had recently opened, the firm already had branches in Liège, Paris, Cologne, Hamburg, Bremen, München, Frankfurt, Aachen and Königsberg. Still advertising at no. 11 during World War I (Soldatenführer durch Brüssel, undated).
1905 * - 1914 > Liège, Rue de l'Université, 26
To expand its network, in November 1904 the firm advertised that it was looking for an additional location for a studio in the centre of Liège (La Meuse, 5.11.1904). Subsequently, an advertisement from January 1905, including both addresses in Liège, states that a new studio had recently opened at this address (La Meuse, 13.1.1905). Still advertising here in December 1919.
