These two statements have been
s.rd so much they are trite. Yet
,.ge are many who do not COM
nrehend their Significance. Asser-
inns are as easily made as advice
/. slven--and frequently they re-
osiye about the same attention.
Numerous Instances could be cited
% Illustrate the truth OF these state
men,s about Oklahoma and Tulsa.
pozens OF young men have moved to
,h,s city and engaged in business
r,ltb assets that consisted OF 90 per
cent nerve and ambition and one
ner cent cash capital, and are now
living In comfort.
All OF which leads up to the story:
Alvin c. Krupnick came to Tulsa
from 81. Louis about two years ago,
bringing with him a camera. a per-
nstual smile, plenty Of ability as n
nhotographer, and the ambition to
succeed. otherwise his resources
~ Sedmits-were woefully limited.
'IThIs week Krupnick will open one
a, the most unique and modern pro-
fssslonal photographic institutions In
Tho United States. The location is .
East sixth street. Carpenters. plumb
ers and timers were busy all OF
last week completely remodeling the
room in which this plant Is to be To-
Gated. In connection, there Is to be
handled a complete stock OF cameras
And Photographic supplies.
Krupnick il to devote all of his
time 10 professional and press pho
tography. Since he came here two
years ago his pictures of scenes and
persons in and around Tulsa have
been published in virtually every
newspaper OF consequence In Amer
lea. Readers OF The World have
become familiar with the line
'photo by Alvin C. Krupnick" un-
derneath pictures published almost
every week.
In Krupnick's equipment is n
novel camera purchased at con-
adorable cost. II is electrically
Eulpped, and with 1t he may take
Photographs out of doors on the
blackest night. The flashllght ap-
paratus Is attached to the camera,
in which there Is a small battery
When the powder explodes the
camera shutter automatically opens
and closes simultaneously. With
such a camera, the intrepid photog-
rapher may invade the jungles at
midnight and obtain excellent pic
lures that require no retouching.
By dIsconnecting the flash pan. the
camera may be used for daylight
work.
The opening of Krupnick's es-
Enlistment on East Sixth street
marks the realization OF vision he
has held ever since he first saw
Tulsa. To his first-formed friends
he confided that some day he ex-
pected to possess business which
would he thoroughly equipped to
take pictures OF all kinds and de-
velop them in few minutes rather
than In a few hours--a place that
would be looked upon by all large
American newspapers as a news
photograph center for the south
west. Every piece of equipment to
insure accuracy and speed in picture
making is being installed.
Prior to coming to Tulsa, Krup-
nick was staff photographer for
the st. Louis Post-Dispatch and
other large newspapers, including
those In New York. In his volumi-
nous collection OF photographs are
intimate close-ups of Roosevelt,
Foch, Taft, Schumann-Heink. Will
son, Joffre, Harding, Caruso and
Dozens OF other notables in the po-
li,ical business. musical, profess
sional and military world, most of
them obtained with their consent.
However. the intrepid news pho
tographer occasionally encounters
wrathful and reluctant personality
and finds It necessary to take his
"shc." surreptitiausly. There are sew
eral in Krupnick's collection that
were obtained in this manner. taken
when he was commanded by an ada
, nant city editor to "go and get It,"
, krupnick was In the Photographic
division of the army during the war,
IN which his work was highly COM
mended by his superiors.
For more than a year his plant
has been located In the Wright lab
oratory building at Third and Chey-
enne, Within the next day or two
ne expects to have his new estab-
hshment in operation
