DEVELOPED:
Pictures With Depth

Three-dimensional photographs -
giving the illusion of depth-have
been developed by New York en-
gineer who claims they are prac-
ticable for commercial display and
advertising purposes. Harold A.
Backus, the inventor, used two
transparent screens, one in the cam
era and the other placed over the
developed negative, to produce the
three-dimensional effect. Standard
camera and lens were used.
The pictures have depth, like
those viewed through a stereopticon.
but a person looking at them does
not need any visual aid to see the
depth. Backus said the method
could be developed for use in street
car or subway posters or other types
Of special illustrations.
Special screens would have to be
placed over the displayed pictures,
however. Otherwise the fat print
would appear blurred and without
depth. The screens have hundreds
Of tiny lenses which scatter light
In certain directions to produce the
effect Of depth.

MIR. Truman made his announce
ment coincidentally with a bureau
Of labor report which indicated
that the U. S.. far from being in
for a business depression. can look
forward to a period Of prosperity
continuing indefinitely"
The present jolly outlook for the
state Of the budget Is based upon
an expectation Of continued high
prices, taxes. incomes and employ

F..MAGIsA VICTOR paANS MODERN FUR
 TAILORING HERE

"rThe public knows nothing about furs, and responsible fur companies can protect them" says F. Martin Victor Jr. interviewed in his house hunting headquarters at the Bar arof Hotel, the head of Martin Victor Furs, Incorporated, told of some of the plans for development of his retail business in Juneau and Alaska.
 The company has two-fold pur- pose. said Victor. First is to sell Alaskans fur coats as cheaply as Seattle or even lower. And second is to store, clean and remodel fur clothing for less than Seattle prices.
 Victor is laying plans to carry through Chicago styles in fur coats, manufacturing in small modern plant in Juneau staffed by experts The Eskimo parka has been mod ernized by Victor, so that it is actually comfortable for wearing. This is a great step forward from the typical native parka, baggy and bulky, to a tailored, smart and stylish article of fur clothing,
 With a background of three gen. erations of furriers, the Victor company knows how to make furs, and to make them last. A great deal of the durability in a fur coat is in the tanning or dressing of the furs. This will be done in New York. Everything else in the mak- ing of Martin Victor coats will be done in Juneau
 Thread quality is also important, in the sewing of furs. Most import ant, however, is the blocking of the furs as they are tailored, to avoid overstretching. Many furriers stretch their materia, to the limit, leaving it brittle and without resiliency.
 The Martin Victor process, how ever, actually gives shrinkage, and therefore more hair per square inch.
 Our aim" said Victor, 'Is to give Alaskans a home fur industry handling their territory's furs as specially We want to make it both practicable and stylish for Alaskans to buy their coats in the Territory, and we will give them modern manufacturing and tailoring so that when they go Outside they can hold their heads high and show Seattle the newest styles"
 Eventually the company hopes to create outlets in other Alaskan cities, and in the States as we'll But we want to bring people to the Territory from the Outside to buy their Alaskan fur coats.'
