Enjoy Your Snapshots Better by 

 Enlarging Them 



IF you are an amateur photographer 

 with a hand camera for making only 

 small pictures it will add a great deal 



to your enjoyment 



of them if you can 

 enlarge them or, 

 still simpler, look 

 at them with an 

 enlarging con- 

 trivance like that 

 shown in the pic- 

 ture. The device 

 is merely a five- 

 inch concave- 

 ground mirror set 

 upright in such a 

 manner that it re- 

 flects the picture 

 facing it. 



The frame of the 

 mirror is hinged to 

 a board, which 

 forms the base of the device when it is 

 in use. Three slots, for obtaining three 

 degrees of enlargement, are provided in 

 the base and hold the picture to be en- 

 larged. No focusing or adjusting is 

 necessary. 



Looking at snapshots with a lens is 

 always interesting for it gives them 

 "depth" and perspective. The camera 

 being a one-eyed instrument, the photo- 

 graphs lack this in the ordinary way. 

 The lens-mirror remedies this. Frame 

 and case are covered with black leather- 

 ette, and the whole device folds up to a 

 package one inch in thickness and six 

 inches square. Amateur photographers 

 who have used this contrivance have found 

 it a valued part of their equipment. 



Grocery Store Has Combination 

 Front and Awning 



WHEN William Judd built his gro- 

 cery store at Avalon, Santa Cata- 

 lina Island, he had to have a front to the 

 place, and he also 



This concave mirror enlarger gives "depth" 

 to your snapshots without trouble or expense 



needed an awning. 

 So, instead of go- 

 ing to the expense 

 of providing both, 

 he combined the 

 two. 



Mr. Judd con- 

 sidered that he 

 didn't need a.\n 

 awning when his 

 store was closed, 

 and when it was 

 open he didn't need 

 a front. So he set 

 to work and built 

 a rather substantial 

 awning on a frame 

 that works on hin- 

 ges attached to the building. The awning 

 is provided with hinged legs swung to the 

 lower edge, which fold upward when it 

 is lowered. 



At the end of the day it is only neces- 

 sary to fold up the legs, lower the awning, 

 and lock it. When time to open the store 

 in the morning, the front is unlocked, and 

 raised into place to serve as an awning. 



This arrangement is very neat and very 

 convenient, but it appears to be only 

 suitable for mild climates, and among 

 strictly and universally honest communi- 

 ties, as its rather flimsy construction 

 would not keep either weather or persons 

 out for long. So Mr. Judd's novel-groc- 

 ery store front attests the confidence rhe 

 has in Avalon folk. ;

Here is the latest thing in grocery store fronts, well adapted to warm climates. When the store 

 is open it is a very effective sun-awning, and when the store is closed it forms the front wall
