The Patent Double Camera of James & Co., of which they have the exclusive right in the New England States is working wonders in the execution of pictures.  Six hundred a day is a moderate day’s work for this establishment, and the accuracy and beauty of finish with which those 25 cent Daguerreotypes are clothed is not exceeded in pictures which at other places cost five dollars.  Ladies out shopping should not fail to test the merits of the Double Camera of James & Co., corner of Winter and Washington streets.  They will find Mr. Foss, the clerk of the house, affable and obliging, and always ready to exhibit specimens, whether the object is to obtain a picture or not.  Pictures on glass are also taken in a superior manner and at low rates, and Daguerreotypes of every style and price.

A Lady entered the daguerreotype house of James & Co., corner of Winter and Washington streets, yesterday, and inquired of the clerk, Mr. Foss, if she could have a picture taken and finished up in half an hour, as she had just that time before leaving for the cars.  Mr. Foss replied that there would be no difficulty in accomplishing that, and in ten minutes delivered her two perfect likenesses of herself, executed at one sitting by their patent Double Camera, from which to select the one that suited her.  She was so well pleased with them that she took them both, and departed with an air of astonishment at the expeditious and perfect manner in which they have been produced.  James & Co.’s is the place to get good pictures taken, cheap and expeditiously.
