international reputation as PAINTER
OF landscape and water scenerr. i;
Was only a few years ago that his

From the fact that he Only paints Eve

When asked how the production OF
an artist finds market. Mr.. Plumb
sead No reputable artist ever dis.
PLAYS his work in public places or aa.
fertlses Il for sale in any way. Wher
an artist produces worth while nie-
lure someone sees. il and buys IL.
then after it is sold the buyer shows
II 10 his or her friends and invariably
the artist gets his orders in that way.
Artists whose works make good usu-
ally have plenty OF orders ahead that
their own former works have secured
from them. Genuine artists are al
ways willing 10 depend upon their
merits"
Mr. Plumb is having a good time
al the Beach .and is making the most
OF every opportunity for recreation.
One night this week in company with
Lieut. IF. D. Copeland. the aviator. he
started out for walk on the Beach.
