Did you ever stop to think how
valuable a good photograph of your
self is to any member OF your family
or relatives after you are dead? No
amount of money then would buy it,
Yet there are hundreds OF people here
in Washington county who haver
never had a photo taken or even
given it thought. Who knows bur
what you might be the next one TO
60 unexpectedly.
Don't put off any longer, and go
to Bradley's Studio and have some
good ones made at once. 1t will be
more pleasure and satisfaction to
your family than any present you can
buy
