Four tintypes for twenty-five centsi
Gosh That's cheap"
A yellow haired man with red
headed wife and six towheaded children
stood in front of a one story photo
graphic studio on the North Side and
stared ut sign in the window.
"That's cheap" he repeated. "We1l
go in here, Liz, This is the place we've
been a-lookin' for"
The procession moved inside the tenn
pie of art.
Can you put the whole biiin' of us
unto tintype?" he inquired of the
photographer.
Yes.
@Then go ahead. I'll take four of
'em.'
The photographer grouped the entire
aggregation in front of classic Grecian
background, turned the camera in that
direction, and the pictures soon were
ready.
"Do they suit you?' he inquired,
bringing them the light for inspection.
They're bang up. Amt they, Liz? ?"
Liz expressed the opinion that the
portraits were perfect.
You understand, of course" said the
proprietor of the studio, shat % cents
for four tintypez means 25 cents for
each one of you?
Gosh! don't understand any such
thing. That amt what your sign says
out there"
The sign on carette says, Five
cents fare but you can't ride on one
with your whole family for 5 cents, can
you?'
That's different. Them pictures is
just the same size as if there was only
one of us, amt they ?"
1.-Two dollars, please"
It's blamed swindle."
Two dollars!"
: won't pay it, by gum!"
I'll hang them out and put sign on
them: Not paid for. :"
Do it! roared the yellow haired
pilgrim, marshaling the procession in
single file and marching outside at the
head of it. do itl'' he reiterated,
shaking his fist at the artist as the car
