AN ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION. rTIHE tremendous reception accorded by ;! > the public to the issue of large Opals with every dozen Cabinets by the Bden George Company, Limited, has caused many imitators to step in the Opal Ring. Some of these imitators, who have been selling deposit tickets through canvassers for opals and cabinets., find themselves unable to give an opal enlargement for the money, and make a p per enlargement and stick it on white gl*. a. So neatly is this done that it takes an experienced eye to detest it; but a it le moisture applied to one corner and a-penknife will reveal the fact. Of course, it is obvious that these paper and so-called mezzotint enlargements ou paper will soon corrode, while those done by the Eden George Company, Limited, direct on the opal will last a lifetime. So great is the business done by the Eden George Company, Limited, that necessarily a large murnber'of rumours are set afloat by opposition, photographers, and with these we propose to deal. ; The firm fully dealt with the rumour that they were not using opal by the advertising of a certificate by Messrs Hey wood and Co., some short time back, to the effect that they had cleared and paid Customs duty upon 6000 pieces of real opal for the Eden George Company, Limited, within three months, Hardly was this rumour i set at rest than another and still more damaging one was spread, to the effect that the firm were using cheap and impure chemicals. Immediately Professor Bickerton was called in and asked to examine and. report upon the purity of the chemicals, and we cannot do more than publish his report :— "Canterbury College, "Laboratory Department, "Christchurch, September 12th, 1892. " I hereby certify that I have gone through Mr Eden George's order books, and have inspected his stock of chemicals, and that I find all chemicals and materials to be of the best brands obtainable in the market, being the specialities of the firms of Burgoyne, Barbridges and Co., Schering.and Johnson and Son's, firms that take a very high place for the purity of their chemicals. "A. W. BICKEBTON, " Professor of Chemistry and Physics, "Canterbury College." Another rumour spread by men who make extortionate charges is that work cannot be finished well at such low prices, but thi3 rumour is entirely scouted by the fact that Messrs Johnston andO'Shanassy, of Melbourne, who are undoubtedly the leading firm of that city, and whose expenses are abnormally high, their rent alone being about £25 per week, are now doing their best cabinets at ±1 per dozen, while Messrs Wrigglesw.orth and Binns, the celebrated photographers of Wellington, whose work cannot be surpassed, have for some period been advertising one enamelled cabinet for 33, or one dozen for 12« 6d; and it may be here noted that this firm pay the highest operator's salary in N. Z., viz., £6 per week. Persons after this should have no fear 'in patronising the Eden George Company, Limited," that the low prices mean Sad chemicals, inferior work, aud underpaid hands. As a matter of tact photographers who make extortionate charges are constantly advertising for youths to learn the business, which youths usually do most of the finishing, and as a conae quence in a few years, when the picture should prove a family relic, it is found to be fading, and full of spots. The greatest euloglum of the work of the Ebxn Geobge Company, Limited, comes from opposing photographers who know that to advertise the fact that they have either worked themselves or employ someone who has worked for the Eden Geokge Company, Limited, is a sufficient guarantee of good work, as eke following extracts from advertisements will show. Mr Gadd's Advertisement, Pbjbss, September 27th, 1892:—"The operating and finishing being under the supervision of W. E. Sorrell (late operator and head retoucher to Eden George)." Mr C. H. Manning advertised in the Cferistchurch papers of September 27th, 1887, that he was late operator and. finisher to Messrs George and YVaison. Our concluding advice to people who requirepermanencrealistic, and brilliantly finished photos, select such a firm as the EDEN GEORGE CO., LIMITED., i who have stood, the test for years, and by ! their faithfully carrying out all photo- ! graphic contracts entrusted to their care, they are at length rewarded by having the largest business in New Zealand.
