VELOX AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE 

 EXHIBITION. 



The Nepera Chemical Company has 

 scored another success abroad, with its 

 celebrated Velox paper; its exhibits at the 

 Crystal Palace, and at the Portman rooms 

 in London, having attracted much atten- 

 tion. From a letter which the Nepera 

 Chemical Company has just received from 

 its London agents I extract the following: 



" As regards the 2 photographic exhibi- 

 tions, one at the Portman rooms the other 

 at the Crystal Palace, we are pleased to 

 give you a very encouraging report as to 

 the impression produced by the Velox 

 demonstrations. We enclose herewith a 

 few cuttings from newspapers, and you will 

 be able to form your own opinion from 

 these as to the success which has been se- 

 cured. We were able, by carefully arrang- 

 ing the hangings of the demonstration 

 room, to work Velox from morning until 

 evening, and as you may imagine the proc- 

 ess attracted considerable attention. The 

 space within the Velox room was entirely 

 filled with spectators during the day, the 

 other stalls being almost deserted, and from 

 the congratulations we received, from many 

 leading people in photographic circles, it 

 cannot be doubted that Velox will be one 

 of the most popular papers in this country 

 before long. The group taken of the execu- 

 tive was printed on Velox, and owing to the 



quickness of the process a half-tone block 

 was produced in time for the edition of the 

 Journal, which, without this help, would 

 have been impossible. Also the photo- 

 graphs taken of all the exhibits, by a lead- 

 ing paper, were all printed on Velox and 

 this fact duly advertised by the editor of 

 the paper. A further fact of some interest 

 to you is that the Prince of Wales, on the 

 occasion of the opening, was attracted by 

 the Velox exhibit and asked several ques- 

 tions of the Earl of Crawford, who gave all 

 the necessary information. We shall send 

 samples of Velox to the Princess of Wales, 

 and we have already received an applica- 

 tion to submit the paper for trial to the 

 Princess Beatrice, as well as to certain high 

 officials of the Court, who are interested in 

 photography." 



Some time ago a report was widely circu- 

 lated in the daily papers to the effect that 

 Vice-President G. G. Cleather, of Spratts 

 Patent, had been seriously injured by being 

 run over. The accounts were greatly exag- 

 gerated and I am glad to be able to say he 

 has entirely recovered. 



When woman drowns her home in suds 



Her husband feels despair; 

 She roots out such a lot of duds 



She thinks he ought to wear.
