Appearing in The News-Herald And if you arc interested in Photographs it will probably be the most valuable. During January, Pebru ary, March and April I will do all kinds of Studio Portrait Work in all sizes, regularly every day, from NOW UNTIL THE FIRST Of MAY. After that time my Kodak finishing business requires all my time and attention, and there is no use to ask about having portraits made after the first of May. ' . The mountings and styles used will be of the heavy substantial type of photographs which will stand time and handling and look as well ten - years from now as when made. My Photographs don't fade and as proof of this look up photographs made by me ten or twelve years ago, which will be found in every home and you can see for yourself how well they have stood the test. - . During the past few years many photographers throughout the country have put out thin, flimsily mounted photographs or not mounted at all, taking advantage of what was supposedly the style until there are thousands of worthless, warped out of shape, curled up photographs, many ot which have to be kept under a book or weight to keep them from rolling up, to be found everywhere, which in a few years at best will be worthless pieces of fuzzy paper and a disappointment to the owner, whereas a brilliant, clear cut photograph substantially mounted will prove in the end far more valuable. The photographs put out by me during the months mentioned above will be finished and mounted with the view of standing the test of all time. They will be finished on the clear, brilliant surface paper bringing out all the details and mounted on substantial mounts, and the prices will be rea sonable, and as some people do not care for the large sizes and do not care to put very much money in photographs, I have arranged a series of sizes and styles to suit' everybody, ranging from $1.25 per dozen to $5.00 per dozen, and will mak no extra charge for groups, and by comparison you will find my $3.00, $4.00 and $5.00 per dozen photographs will be as high or higher quality than photographs generally selling at $5.00 to $8.00 per dozen and it is easy enough to see if this claim is true by comparing the work. That's what I want to do. All photographs will be finished in the permanent, fadeless black and white finish, so do not ask for brown finishes, and it has been proven that a black and white photograph is the only permanent kind. To make brown pictures they have to be finished black and white and then bleached and retoned in a hot chemical bath, and this bleaching and heating destroys the chemical base of the picture, softens the gelatin emulsion and weakens the fibre of the paper to an extent that is fatal to the permanence of the picture and a picture that must eventually fade is worthless. Consequently, the photographers all over the country have come back to the black and white picture as the process which holds its own. I have always contended that this bleaching and retoning a photograph to get various shades was ruination to the keeping qualities of the photograph and have believed it to the extent of refusing to put out any but the black and white. So I am not surprised that photographers have found this out and are flocking back to the permanent color black and white.
