NOTICE. &.n attempt has lately been made to jaise the prices of photographs, but owing to our oppositiop the attempt was unsuccessful. Our reply to the deputation was to the loliowing effect:—L That we were the last to reduce prices. 2. That there ia still 50 per cent, profit on good work at our charges. 3. That by recent improvements photography has become so simple that it is now only deserving »f trade profits, and photographers are not justified in charging the public 300 to 100 per cent, profit as of old, when photography was a profession requiring years of study, i. That at our present prices we are enabled to pay the best rent and salaries, besides the extra expenses accruing to a public'company, and will be able to meet ear shareholders with a substantial dividend at the close of our financial year. Some photographers, in order to get iarger prices, state that it is impossible to finish work at our charges, but we refer the public to the gieantic show of brilliantly finished photos in our vestibule, which are specimens of our every day work, and we challenge .comparison wifcii the Photographs of Lord Onslow, Sir Wm. Jervois, Bishop Julius, J. L. Toole, Esq., and other well-known personages now on view at our entrance. We do by far the largest business in New Zealand, and attribute our success to a constant production of elegantly posed and well-finished photos, and by not making extra charges to visitors from tbe • country.
