Sixteen years ago the idea had
birth in his mind: today Herman Il.
Mansur is beginning to see his idea
realized. With the erection of a
splendid edifice on Hillcrest street.
there is rounding into active beng
the most complete. up-to-date nome
nortrait studio in New England. This
assertion is made safe because of the
of commercial men, who
deal in Photographic supplies, VINO
know the territory and who know
what Mr.. Mansur is putting across.
When Mr.. Mansur decided to erect
a home studio he sent out letters 70
all the Photographic supply houses,
with which he had had previous deal
ings. He inquired about places OF
this kind. where should he get ideas
and what suggestions there were to
offer, The replies. without exception,
came back, in gist, as follows: Ihere
ia nothing worth while in New Eng
land. There is no modern up-to-date
plant, such as you mention for home
studio work. You will have to work
It out yourself. SO the plans of the
building, the arrangement of the
equipment and the general working
basis are all his own.
The Building
But let's get at the center of inter-
est. Let's make a thorough inspec-

inquire? Augusta patrons do their

him to be put into pictures.
The agents are furnished with
large, stout cloth bags. Into these
bags they place the films, either rolls
or packs. The metal mailing tag
contains a card ON one side of which
is Mr.. Mansur's address, "Mansur

with the return address of the sender.
When the pictures are developed and
printed, they are included in envel-
opes, bearing the agency and order

are all enclosed in the cloth bag, the
card on the metal tag reversed and
the whole returned to the agent. The

pans steam from the putting holes was

this method, which is still in use, the out

Here was a tame volcano put to work

seventeen years ago did II occur to any
body to harness II for power. Then 1t was
that Prince Ginori Cont, head of the boric
acid works, turned the steam from a puff

During the war three turbo-generator

at Larderello, and to these a fourth has
since been added. In order to avoid in
