Ttyo very boautiful photographic views printed on Eastman's now " Bromide" and "Chloride" ('Solio') papers now in use by Mr W. Rinsey, artist and photographer, of Lambton Quay, Wellington, oame to hand by a recent mail, and are now on view in the wiudow of Mqaara A. White and Co., Qucen-streot, Masterton, where our readers can see them. Tltejo wondertully offeotive printing papers aro, Mr Eineey tells ns, rapidly replacing the albumenised medium furmerly in general use, and they are susceptible of producing the moßt pleasing and perfect results. The bromide paper in particular reproduces extremely beautiful pictures, equal to any of the must expen.sivo and best " process " work we have seen. Both papers can bo finished either dull or glazed, For delicate fidelity of tint and richness and depth of tone we have seen nothing to equal them. They are as nearly permanent as a photographic print is ever likely to become. In concluding this paragraph, a word must be givoii to tho excellent and entirely new display of photographs now on view in Mr Kinsey'a vestibule, lambton Quay. Wo have not space to go into detail, aud so can only recommend our readers to inspect this artistic collection themselves, the first time they visit Wellington. Among the " groups "on viow, a very fine iarge photograph of the Wellington Representative Cricketing Team, which has already been reproduced in several magazines, cannot be passed over without a ward of special praise. Some high-class oil paintings of Maori subjects, admirable alike in conception and execution, from the brush of Mr ilinsey himself, also should not be overlooked. They will be found in the innor show-room,

We don't say we sell at cost prico, because no one or very few could test it, not knowing what the cost price is. Wo don't odor our goods at 20 per cent discount because no one can check the calculation, not knowing on what it is based. Wo rely upon the prices at which we offer our bargains and in nine cases out of nine and-a-half those prices aro staggerers both for the Public and the Trade. Of course, wo are going to lose money over this job 1 How could wo do otherwise ? But why not? Why shouldn't wo as well as other people? Everybody's losing money now-a-days, and we are prepared to drop our share just for the sake of company, but what we lose wo lose in a good cause. We benefit tbe Public, so keep your oye on tbo BonMarchofor bargains, Everything at panic prices.
