The Professor also wishes to call particular attention to the folly of giving travellers from other colonies orders for enlargements when equally good work can be obtained m this colony at half the cost. Let it also be borne m mind that photos taken m New Zealand are acknowledged by the photo graphic attists of Britain to surpass any m the wprld. So be wise j keep the money m the district, and get your enlargements done at home. They are guaranteed to give satisfaction, and you sign no book, tc compel you to take them, good or bad.
