The pro- prietor's aim will be to make his rooms a genteel and fashionable place of resort, where the public are guar- antied as good pictures as this beautiful and valuable art can produce, and his object being to EXCEL, no pains or expense will be spared to secure the most competent skill in every thing appertaining to the business, and he would be glad of every opportunity to compare his work, or put his skill in competition with others. Mr. Snow, direct from Mr. Plumbe's, where his long experience and unparalleled success prove he CANNOT BE EXCELLED, will conduct the opera- ting department. Persons desirous of having like- nesses are respectfully invited to call, and the most fastidious shall be suited, or no charge. Instruction given, apparatus and stock furnished, and warranted such as represented. Pictures taken in any weather. tf 23 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 10-13-95
