MISS BETTY ILIMA GODFREY
First Birthday March 29, 1932
OUR
“BIRTHDAY
OFFER”
To mark our twentieth birthday, tomorrow, we will present free a full cabinet-size photo to each child whose first birthday falls in April, 1932. If you have a baby born in April, 1931, come to our studio and get a ticket calling for a future appointment. This ticket is free. Then at the time appointed, bring the baby, have the picture taken, and we will give you, without charge, one full-sized cabinet photo of the youngster.
“OPEN HOUSE”
“Open House” tomorrow at the City Photo Studio from 12 noon to 5 p.m., and in the evening from 7 to 9 p.m. You are welcome to come and enjoy our Twentieth Anniversary with us.
No appointment for sitting during our “open house” hours tomorrow. However, dates for future sittings may be arranged.
City Photo Studio is twenty years old tomorrow—March 30, 1932. Twenty years ago this studio began in a small way. Now it is modernly-equipped in every respect, with large quarters, best of apparatus, skilled personnel, and a host of friends built up over 20 years of friendly dealing.
In these 20 years thousands of people have had their pictures taken in our studio. Thousands of boys and girls whose childhood pictures were made here have grown up to manhood and womanhood.
Many of these have kept every photo taken since babyhood. They now have albums full of family pictures—rarely treasured volumes, intensely interesting now and more interesting as the years go on.
City Photo Studio is always glad to help its patrons fill these albums with cherished pictures. No other memento is quite so intimate, so attractive, as the family picture album. Come in and see us any time and let us suggest how you may prepare such an album.
