PHOTOGRAPHIC NOTICE. MORE OF THE PROFESSOR. j PROFESSOR ROBOTTOM begs to in form the Public that he is taking cabinet pictures for 2s 6d. This charge is made to secure legitimate trade ; and any one giving an order for a dozen can get the balance for 12s 6d. So come yourselves, and bring your lamilies, and come early. 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 in this colony at half the cost. Let it also be borne in mind that photos taken in New Zealand are acknowledged by the photo graphic artisis of Britain to surpass any in the world. So be wise 5 keep the money in the district, and get your enlargements done at home. They are guaranteed to give satisfaction, and you sign no book, to compel you to take them, good or bad. Come early and avoid the rush. C.D.V. 7a 6d per dozen ; Cabinets, 15s per dozen.
