We recommend the purchase of one
of the small books on photography which
contains all the necessary information in a
concise and easily understandable manner.
Photographic dealers everywhere have
such books on sale. The small expense
involved quickly pays for itself as it pre-
vents many initial mistakes.

country are equipped with contact enlarge-

Retail prices for these enlarged
prints vary in different sections of the
United States. However, in most cases
they cost only slightly more than ordinary
