PROFESSOR ROBOTTOM begs to mi form the Public that he is taking cabinet pictures for 2s 6il. This charge ia 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 iamilies, and come early. The Professoralso 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 artists of Britain to surpass any m the world. So be wise; keep the moDey m 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. 7s 8d per dozen ; Cabinets, 15s per dozen. E. E.
