ness of Man

Is often the cause of bitter disap-
peintments. The modern man
looks after the future welfare OF
his family by buying life insur-
ance, Government bonds or some
other safe investment, and neg
lects one thing that possibly
would be more consolation and
comfort in case he was called
away. And that is a modern pho
tograph; 800 of our business is

are always putting it off until
finally a black gowned woman
brings in an old tin-type taken
when John was 20, and has it cop

all she has. Don't you think a
small investment in photography
would be a good one for you?
