these valuable articles she rum

JUST ARRIVED.
The Enamel Portrait and Photo Co,
Now In This City.

Yesterday afternoon the arrange
ments were completed that will
take the Enamel Photo and Portrait
Co. from Trenton, the members of
the firm having decided to visit
Mexico, where they will remain for
sometime.
This company is composed of
professional artists, OF recognized
ability, who have their work so ar
ranged and divided that each one
has chat particular part for which
he is best adapted, and for this rea-
son it eau trutbfully be said of them
that they are specialists.
We desire to say in this connec-
ton that these gentlemen are no
travelling snide collection of second
hand artists, but are perfectly re-
sponsible in every sense Of the word.
That they do all they advertise, goes
for the saying in Trenton. They
said, when first locating here, that
they did not come to beat down
prices or run other. photographers
out of business but that they de-
pended on the excellence of their
work to sustain their reputation as
artists. That they have lived up to
this assertion and built a reputation
is evidenced by the universal regret
that they have decided to leave our
midst. Their particular success is
in all lines Of Photographic and
portrait work. We have never
seen their fine enameIed photo
graphs equaled and our people have
taken advantage of this unprece-
dented opportunity of securing fine
portrait work.
While we regret to see them go
we can cheerfully and without So
licitation recommend them to the
citizens OF Mexico. You can receive
them with open arms, knowing
that a cultured, refined and honora-
BILE class Of gentlemen have located
with you.-Trenton (Mo.) Tribune
