ENLARGEMENTS.
The making of enlargements in the commercial shop has often been thought a loss. The possibilities are that when a loss, it was caused by incompetent help, as the quality of commercial enlargements must be good, and good enlarge ments sometimes take considerable paper to get right, especially in color separa tion, where every tone must be preserved. Commercial shops doing a large amount of various-sized enlargements generally set upon a price per square inch, and it runs from $0.008 (4/5c.) to lc. per square inch, with 25 per cent. additional for sepia, also additional for mounting on muslin and stretchers of 25 per cent., for muslin only and with stretcher, $1.00 additional.
