Nicholas and Dougall
Dee Street
Invercargill
Messrs
Nicholas and Dougall have, been for some time adapting the process to
their requirements, and fitting up a suitable laboratory. As a means of
securing pleasing and perfect pictures of children, or of animals, it
should commend itself, and we feel confident that no effort on their
part will be wanting, to place it where it should be — in the front rank
of photography. Having had the pleasure of inspecting some trial
pictures taken by Mr Dougall we have no doubt of the success of the new
process in the firm's hands.
