Studio Light Incorporating The Aristo Eagle - The Artura Bulletin 1922 | by Aristo Motto



The past year has been a rather trying one for all kinds of business, yet you have weathered it and can see better buisness ahead. If accounts are to be relied upon, Christmas business was good. People have turned to photographs as a solution of their gift making problems because photographs are not expensive. There is a personal touch to the gift of a photograph - a sentiment that can not be measured in dollars and cents and that does not place an obligation upon the one who receives it.
