Business notices* AN ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION. THE tremendous reception accorded by the public to the issuo of large «'pale with ovary doses Oabinata by the ilden George Company. Limited, has caused many imitatore to step 111 the Opal ting. Some of these imitatore, who have beou selling depoeit ticket< through oauvaasiara for Opals andoabluets. flud thomaolvos unable to gira as opal enlargement for the money, and malce a . paper enlargement and stick it on whits glass. Slo neatly ie this done thatlt takes an ex; erienced eye to detect it; but a little moisture applied to one corner and a penknife will reveal the fact. Of eboiae. it is obrioue that these paper and so-called mezzotint enlargements on paper will soon corrode, while those done by the Kdea George ComSay, limited, direct on the opal will last a etime. So great is the business done by the Eden Georgs Company, Limited, that naoeasarily a urge number of rumours are set afloat by opposition photographers, and with these we propose to deal. The Arm lolly dealt with the rumour that they were not using opal by the advertising of a certificate by Messrs Her wood and Co., soma short tima beck, to the efluot that thay had cleared and piid Customs duty upon 6000 pieces of reel opal tor the idea Goorgs Company. Limited, within three months. Hardly was this rum >»r set at rest than another and S' 111 more damaging one was spread, to the affoot that the firm we<e using hnsap and Impure chemicals. Immediately Professor Ulokerton was called in and asked to examine and report upon the purity of the chemicals, and we cannot do more than publisb his report: •• Canterbury College, *• l aboratory Department. •’ Christchurch, Sapt. 19th, 1893. " 1 hereby certify that I have gone through Mr Aden George’s order books, and h iva inspected bis stock of chemicals, and that I dnd all chemicals and materials to be of the best brands obtainable in the market, being the specialities of the firms of Burgayue, Burbridgas and Co,, Sobering, and Johnson and Son’s, Arms that take a very high place for the purity of ihsir chemicals. “ A. W, Sioki«to», " Professor of Ohemistiy and Physios, “ Canterbury college.” Another rumour epread by men who make extortionate charges is that work cannot be finished well at such low prioes, but this tumour is entirely scouted by the fact that Messrs Johnston and O'Shanasey, of Melbourne, who are undoubtedly .the loading firm of that city, and whose expenses ■ are abnormally high," rent done being about £lSper week,” are now ddng their best cabinets at 41 per dozen, while Messrs Wrigglesworth and . Blans, the celebrated photographers of Wellington, whose work oannot be surpassed, have for .acme, period been advertising one enamelled cabinet for B<, or one dozen for l?s Gd; and it may tfi .here noted that this firm pay the highest operator’s salary in A.Z n tu., £S per week. Parsons alter this should have no fear; ** in patronising ths Eden Gsorge Company, Limited.” that the low prices mean bad chemicals, inferior work and underpaid hands, as a matter of fact photographers wh» make extortionate ohargas are constantly advertising for youths to learn the business, which youths usaallr do most of the finishing, and os a oonaruasnoe in a few years, when the picture should prove a family relic, it is found to be fading, snd full of spots. The grantsrt enloginm of the work of tha Enas Qsoisa Cospast, Likiteo, comes from opposing photographers who know that to advertise the fact that i hay bars either worked themselves or employ someone who has worked lor the Kobe Gnoxea Comtast, Limited, is a sufficient •• snaiamee of good work, as tha following extracts worn advertisements will show Mr Gadd’s advertisement, •• Press,*’ Sept. 27th, .JGMi-—" The operating and. finishing being under ,tkt supervision of W.
