THE NEW PERFECT PORTRAITURE
THIS IS THE AGE OF PROGRESS
AND SPEED
TIME IS MONEY, BOTH ARE VALUABLE.
PHOTOMATON
Saves both for you, and eliminates the fuss and bother usually associated, with all phases of Portraiture.
PHOTOMATON
Signalises the commencement of a new photographie age wherein Portraits bearing the hallmark of Highest Excellence are obtainable by everyone owing to the extremely low charges associated with Photomatography.
But the ease, the simplicity and the absence of all fuss and delay and the low charges tell only half the tale. The PHOTOMATON apparatus, by the fineness of its lens and the delicacy of its secrot processes, is able to produce strip pictures so clear and precise that enlargement multiplies. and enhances their values. Inevitably, in the original, some of the detail is undiscernible to the naked eye. Some of the attractiveness of face, expression and other subtleties remains unrevealed. Upon enlargement the picture' LEAPS INTO NEW LIFE AND INTEREST-ita latent graces and values displayed at fullest worth. With first-class original, there is no difficulty in producing a first-clas enlargement. The "strip" photograph is a first-class original and is thus treated by the wise sitter as the first process in the ultimate production of a Camera Study,

Prices of these Camera Studies and all other information regarding this wonderful automatic photography will be obtainable when the new Photomaton Studio opens at No. 88, QUEEN'S ROAD CENTRAL (opposite the Queen's Theatre.)
