LouisP. WoItz SeesPhotosraphyn pswins
.eckup Reveals
More Business
During Year

A note of optimism in the
field Of photography was ex-
pressed today by Louis P. Woltz,
local photographer. Woltz said:
"Since moving into our new
studios at 1923 F st. N. w.,
we have made a check of busi-
ness this year as compared to
last year at this time and find
that we have substantially in
creased our clientele with pros
poets for the future holding q
still brighter view."
Woltz now employs seven as
sistantS and numbers among his
clients some of the famous art
galleries of the city, including
the Corcoran Galleries and the
Phillips Memorial Gallery.
The studios specialize in photo
graphing oil paintings. They also
do commercial photography and
group work for schools, colleges
and organizations.
Recently there has been con-
siderable demand for reproduction
of photograph in life-size for use
in advertising and in theater
lobby display work. This So
called ballooning of photographs
requires special equipment. Re-
garding this branch of photog-
raphy, Waltz said:
1--WE have had considerable
experience in this type of work
and have equipment to pro-
duce good results"
!Voltz has been doing photo
graphic Wor..; in Washington for
over 18 years and has been the
head of his own organization
here since 1920.
The Washington times., 1933-05-29

Under the sponsorship of John
D. Rockefeller, jr., historic Will
liamsburg, Va, home of William
and Mary College, has been under
going restoration with the view
in mind of perpetuating the origi-
nal appearance of the community
as it appeared in Colonial times.
Among some of" the old build
ings being restored are the old
Court House, the Jail, Travis
House, Peyton Randolph House,
the Market Square Tavern and
numerous other buildings that
played a colorful part in the Revo-
lutionary period. Representatives
of the Rockefeller interests were
sent to Europe to get many of the
original plans and ideas necessary
to rebuild or remodel the build
ings.
The painting, decorating and
finishing of the antiques in the
building is being done by the
Edward w. Minte Company OF
this city. Mr.. Minte has been
personally supervising his firms
work. Speaking of the care and
artistry necessary in following
out the drawings and sketches,
Minte said:
INSTEAD of ordinary paint
ing and decorating as would
be carried out in a new build
ing, the idea is to reconstruct
backwards in order to make
the work look old. In other
words, if three walls of a
building were remaining and a
fourth new one had to be
built, the painting and decOrat-
ing of the new wall had to be
made to conform to the three

COTTON PRICES
DIP SLIGHTLY

NEW YORK, May 20 (IN.S0.
Cotton futures lost ground today
on pressure of profit-taking fol-
lowing the sharply higher levels
at the weekend.
Local, professional and Wall
Street traders sold heavily and
stop loss orders, uncovered in
heavy volume, brought further
selling pressure into the ring. A
good demand from the domestic
and foreign trade on the scale
down halted the decline.
Midday prices were off 7 to II
points with July off 7 at 9.02.
October off 8, at 9.26; December
off 8, at 9.42; January off II, at
9.48, and March off 9, at 9.65.

With many houses out of the market
