need not be touched with the fingers, and does away with the use of wax,
&c., &c.
The prices for the holders are mediums, $1 00--quarters, $1 50--Halves,

produced, and the pictures are set forth in bold relief on back grounds
of various shapes and tints. Pictures taken with the "Magic Back Ground,"
will be emphatically the "_Pictures for the Million_." The Patent is
applied for, and the right ratified upon the receipt of the Patent, for
the sum of Twenty-Five Dollars.
