PHOTOGRAPHIC WASTE OF THE NOBLE METALS.
A Chicago photographer has recently cilled attention to the great amount of money which ib absolutely thrown away every year by the photographers of America. He pays : — lt is estimated that there is from L 8 000 to LIO.OCO worth of nitrate of silver and gold used by the photographers every year in our little city of Chicago alone, and «»a much morsin the grea- State of Illinois, and L 20,000 wo»-th of iii.rate of silver and gold is a very low estimate for the photographs. At least LIO.OOO of this hard-earned money could have been saved that was wasted, thrown away, in so'utions in the washing and fixing these millions of photographs. Cou'd all this waste for the past twentyfive years ha\e been saved, the enormous amount would surprise every one of you, as i' wonld rrach the enormous sum of 1 2,500,00"*— quite enough to retire every photographer of Amer'ca today with an independent for' une, to say nothing about the annual interast of this vaßt Bum, which certainly would have doubled the whole amount that has been wasted in the past twenty five years.
