Mr.. ]. w. Mohler, au artist, of st.
Joseph, Missouri, is now in the city, pre-
pared To make portraits III CraYon, Pas
tel and India Ink. Ife guarantees sat
isfaction, and the work is done on the
most reasonable terms An opportunity
is now offered the people of this city
and surrounding country 10 get a life
like portrait of themselves or friends
without sending away for it. An OPP
portunity is also offered to any one who
SI,a oHf oca ON yaar
son who has any degree of taste or talent
for art may acquire this not only beau
tiful, but valuable accomplishment As
the mechanic has rules for his
work, so also are there rules
for portrait drawing, thus enabling any
one to acquire the art who may desire a
pleasant and remunerative business.
He has received 1attering comments
from the press and the people for smooth
ness of work, soft finish and especially
for retaining natural expressions in his
pictures He is doing a class of work
that is not exceiled in Chicago or st.
Louis, and at much less cost than is
charged at either Of those cities.
You are respectfully invited to call
upon him for further particulars, also
please examine his work, samples of
which may be seen at his room.
There is merit in such work as Mr.
Mohlcr is doing in our city, and this is
a rare opportunity for people to have life
size pictures and at extremely low prices
much below that of oil paintings, and
certainly much smoother and more life
like. We were shown some work done
here by his pupils that is very remarka-
BILE indeed for the time they have been
receiving instructions. They say 1t is
not all talent, as is generally supposed,
but alittle pluck with proper instruc-
tions, and one may succeed.--GlObe
Journal ,s,..
In the art of portrait drawing by Mr..
Mohler, at the Rival House, no words
are necessary to show the perfection DIE
has attained TO those who have seen the
work. His prices are lower than ever
before known in like works of art Sew
eral of our ladies are taking lessons in
this art, and are succeeding well.-Wil-
liamsburg Herald.
n. B.-We are not canvassing for some
house a thousand miles away, but will
take your order with photo. or gem and
do the work in this city.
Messages through the post Office, or
otherwise, requesting a call witt receive
prompt attention. MOm.ER, Artist.
