May 12, 1937 THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER ADVERTISEMENTS xi HAVE WE EVER SEEN YOU ? OR HEARD FROM YOU? P not, then we are missing a customer, and you are missing what is probably the finest miniature camera service in the world to-day. We do not ask for more than that you should give us a trial when next you are requiring miniature apparatus or material ; you may rest assured that you will not be disappointed either with our part-exchange offers or our service, whether you require advice, apparatus, developing and printing, or a repair effected to your camera. ******* It may be that you are so much accustomed by now to the second, and often third, rate services offered by so many firms that you are chary of trying a fresh dealer, and do not wish to go from the metaphorical frying-pan into the equally metaphorical fire. We ask you to believe us, however, when we say that, in allowing us to be the fire, you would never experience nostalgic urges towards the frying-pan. * ****** Finally, please do not hesitate to write to us if you have any difficulty or problem ; we do not feel capable of telling you what to do if your landlord threatens to evict you, or if your wife has run off with another man, but we most definitely can help you with any miniature problems that you may have. We look forward to hearing from you, or to seeing you ! USED APPARATUS We have by far the largest selection of used miniature apparatus of any firm in Great Britain — probably of any firm in the world itself. The purchase of a used article from us is a warranty of its condition. All our second¬ hand cameras are subject before resale to the most exacting tests, and are guaranteed mechanically and optically to be in new condition. LEI CAS : Leica III, black, f/2 Summar.
