THE GOLDEN DAYS OF AUTUMN
Are conducive to the production of
high-class portraiture. The light is
perfect and %I ith modern appliances,
such as WC have, ft failure is next to
an impossibility. We make a special.
ty at this time of the year of taking
exterior views of residences, picnic
parties, harvest scenes, ete. Ap-
nointments for such may be made at
the studio, or through the mail.
In Life -Size Portraiture we excel.
We guarantee our I3rontide, Crayon
and Water Color Portraits. Our
prices are right. Do not be misled
by the oily—tongued vendor of cheap
trashy work. Our productions last
a century; cheap, trashy, so—called
"portraits" fade. There's the differ—
ence. Nothing is cheap that is not
good and lasting.
