Do not expose proofs to strong lights, or they will fade immediately. 2. All proofs must be returned, or they will be charged for at the rate of two dollars each. 3. If order is given for more than one style, an extra charge of one dollar will be made for each additional negative, thus, one dozen of the $15.00 Cabinets finished from two negatives would cost $16.00, and if three different styles are ordered they would cost $17.00. 4. Write order plainly on the back of proofs you wish finished. 5. If proofs will not finish first-class you will find X on the back. Defects, or anything displeasing about expression will be remedied in finishing. 6. No photographs finished until a deposit is made, and the full amount must be paid before one photograph is delivered. We will not break this rule, for any person, under any circumstances. 7. If no order is given we charge from two dollars to ten dollars for making negatives. === FREDERICK WILLIAM LYONDE AND HIS SONS, Photographers of Famous Men. 167 YONGE STREET, AT QUEEN, TORONTO, CANADA === SPECIAL NOTICE - Please remit by Registered Letter, Post Office Order, or Express Order.
