L. J. Cherrington, the Dallas pho

announce that he has decided to make
free negative Of every man and
woman in Polk county over the age Of

made with his new A grade Dallmyer

will be remembered that year ago,
Mr.. Cherrington made free negatives
for 100 Polk county pioneers who had
reached the age Of 70 years. The

attracted widespread attention and
favorable comment, and the new
