That's perfectly easy" came the
snappy reply of Mae. Have photos
made. They make fine gifts, and ones
friends always appreciate an artistic
photograph. $l2 will pay for dozen,
you see!"
Mae is right in her advice. There
is nothing today that makes such
tasteful and desirable Christmas gifts
as photos And too, they cost only
fraction of what other less desirable
and less appreciative gifts cost.
At my Studio you will find prices
running from high to low, but all will
show the very highest quality of ART
and WORKMANSHIP. Hundreds
OF people, like "the lady Of the fine
