I purchased the subject undated studio portrait. There is no studio name or address on the cardboard mount. The photo depicts a man, a woman, four girls, and two boys. It is identified on the back:

"Hammond
Clara Leilo Leo Estella Gladys
Myrtle Harold Art

Rachel & Ray
Merry Christmas
from the family"

I found this farming family listed in the 1910, 1920, and 1930 Census data for Burleene, Todd Co., MN. I also found them listed in two public member trees posted on ancestry.com. The members of this Hammond family are:

Arthur Orlando Hammond (1880-1939)
Mrtyle Hammond (nee Chillson) (1885-1980)
Leon O. Hammond (1901-1988)
Leilo Hammond (1901-1934)
Estella Hammond (1903-2001)
Clara M. Hammond (1905-1994)
Gladys T. Hammond (1907-1988)
Harold S. Hammond (1911-2002)
