extensive collection of pictures of Ari-
zona scenery that is to be found in
the state. This collection is the work
of M E. Irwin Of Twins studio He
! has spent many years, much money
| and great amount of care in as
Sembling this collection. Anyone
doubling that it is very fine col
lection may call at the studio on
any week day and see part Of it
on display there.
These pictures, finely finished and
| tinted in as near natural Arizona
| coloring as the hand of man can
! produce, are the final argument OH
the question of whether or not Ari-
zona has anything to offer the tour
! iSt.
When artists admit that they can
not paint the best and finest things
that this state has to offer and when
Mr.. Irwin admits that even highly
developed camera aided by all the
tintS at the hand of the artist can
not reproduce the best of these color
effects, it is not possible for a man
sitting at typewriter even with a
dictionary at his side to describe the
beauties of these pictures adequately.
They are irresistible. They offer to
the public something that will show
better than words what Arizona
claims The finest scenery, the most
beautifully and sublimely colored
cliffs and mountains and distances
and sunsets and the most fantastic
formations that the world has to
offer.
The public is learning to take adj
vantage of M. E. Irwin's ability with
camera. The advertising that goes
out over the world from Douglas and
from other points in the state is
illustrated with these pictures. They
appear on the letter heads Of the
leading business firms of this city.
The people are purchasing these pic
lures to decorate the walls OF their
homes. They are sending them away
to less fortunate friends and relatives
who live in parts of the country where
the sun sets behind black clouds and
where the atmosphere is so toggy
that there is no such thing as dis
tance that can be seen or photo
graphed.
Irwin makes portraits that a man
can send back east to people who
have not seen the original for 20
wears and they can recognize him
from the picture. He takes pictures.

iect, the way he combs his hair and
whether his shirt is fresh from the
laundry or not.

magazines and in many other things

image that needs no description.
The studio is well equipped Prompt
service can be obtained there. Kodak
finishing is a speciality and thousands
of people take hundreds of feet OF
kodak film there every week for de-
velopment and printing. Each job is
given personal supervision by IRWIN
himself. Each picture, if the camera
and it's operator have given 1t a
chance, is brought, out in clearness
and accuracy.
Mr.. Irwin has adventured into the
high mountains and into the canyons
and gorges of the entire state in
search of the best scenic effects. He
has packed his cameras on horses
and burros. He has carried them on
his own back up steep. cliffs and down
into deep canyons to secure for the
world a record in film of the beauties
of nature in this state which has
often been called the art gallery OF
the gods. 1A

lection of hunting scenes, nearly all
of which were taken near Douglas
