It is to the interest of patrons desiring sittings to make their appointments for the day and hour and sufficiently in advance that every necessary preparation may be made. In taking the pictures of ladies, especially when in evening dress, it is essential that there be harmonious corresponding backgrounds, and that every necessary accessory is arranged for previous to the sittings for the convenience of patrons and the production of satisfactory work. Mr. Wilhelm will spare neither time nor expense to provide these backgrounds and necessary adjuncts, and will take each patron in as many different poses as, in his judgment, may be necessary, thus assuring to all, results which will be to their complete satisfaction.
