Important Notice.

Please resd and preserve this, or hand 1t to
friend, az it may save you money and many
regrets
some people seem 10 think that Photo
graphels do not furnish Portraits; Others
think they do not furnish the same kind and
as cheap as agents 60 they place their or
der in the hands of some agents who will
show them large frame and picture and of.
+ it at great bargain but when your pic.
turc come back il is not like tho sample. All
that most OF the agents are after Is an order
aud 2 small payment down-when they get 1t
your small picture goes into the first ash box
they come to
The agent who comes fOT the orders and
the man who delivers The picture gets nttV
cents or one dollar on every order-sometimes
more. We can save you this, or put 1t into
the quail IS q the work. We can also save
You 20 to so per cent. OF frame
Agents pictures at Si1.35 or S1.50 must
necessarily he the cheapest picture made, for
when his commission comes out there IS not
much left, so they will MAKE UP ON THE
FRAME
Come TO us and order Portrait from

you want picture or if you want a more re-
cent likeness We will make negatives of you

Portrait from the one you select. Agents tell
you they can make as good portrait from
tin-type5 as from photographs. This is not
true.

pia 3rgentic Portrait, which Is
the best and most pcrma-
nent of Portraits

fore doing yourself and family an injustice TO

bring it around to your house for your IN
spection, ard if there are any changes requir-
ed to correspond with the original picture we

we have made here and can furnish portraits
from them that will be more satisfactory than
cheap Crayons from the photograph We do
general COPYING and ENLAGGlNG bust
ness and you run no risk by leaving your
pictures with us.

WATER. COLOR PORTRAITS from tir-
types or any old picture, but We will not tell

be done but We will furnish better one for
