THE PHOTOGRAPHERS' INTERNATIO AL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA 

648 HARRISON ST., FLINT, MICH. 

BROTHER CRAFTSMAN: I take it for granted that you want to see professional 

photography return to its former standards, that you want to see the present 

evils eliminated, and that you want the business back on its feet so you and all 

the rest of us can make a decent living. I take it for granted also that you would 

prefer to have a hand in doing these things rather than have the Federal Government (if we don't act promptly) appoint a political administrator for this 

industry and do the job in a way we unquestionably won't like. 

Therefore, as one photographer to another, I want your help, and am counting 

that you will give it willingly. In this envelope is a copy of the suggested Code of Practice for this industry, 

the work of a nationally known specialist in this work, a man who knows what 

the Government will accept and what it will not permit. He has produced this 

after studying all Codes prepared and submitted to date. 

There is also a Questionnaire, no longer than we can help, but we need all of 

this information that you can furnish. Send it to our Secretary at Flint. 

However, the immediately important thing is the Code. Study this carefully 

and return promptly with your approval and any suggestions to Grant Leet, 

Chairman, Code Committee, Washington, D.C. 

To make this effective we must show Washington a membership of 75 percent 

of the photographers in the United States-and you should be one of these. 

Now, let's go! We can clean up this profession only if we all get together and 

take advantage of the opportunity the Government is giving us. And, by the 

way, Abel's Weekly is now the official organ of the International and every member will receive it without additional cost, every week. All in all, it's a pretty 

big bargain for $2. Send it at once to pay for your membership until December 

31, 1933, thus doing your part to help our industry. 

Cordially, J. W. ScoTT, President. 

213 W. MONUMENT ST., BALTIMORE Mo., August 1, 1933.
