The average performer little realizes the wealth of work, the enormous business enterprise behind his stick of rouge, his handy, almost invaluable box of cvld cream, hig alWways-to-be-depended-upon spirit glue and properly-tinted face puwder, as be sits in bis dressing-room hastily preparing bis make-up, The curiosity of the lady performer, who always insists upon knowing why subways run underground, why elevated railroads run overhead, and why men invariably prefer the small, dark, back entrance vf. refreshment parlors to the brightly-illuminated ain entrances. is never excited by the contents of her own make-up box. The old saying, “Familiarity breeds contempt"’ probably underlies this indifference. For the contents of the make-up box, tho absolutely invaluable, are the constant companions of the performer. and, prubably for this very reason, the poetic side of their development is completely lost in the presence of the more material aspect. As a matter of fact. each little occupant of the make-up box, carelessly placed upon the dressing-table, is the subject of a world of cure. The slightest grit on a stick of rouge so. hastily used would not be tolerated by a performer and products of the maker of the material would suffer in consequence. The powder, after being ground te a pvint that defies the tonch of the human hand, ts again presst thru a silk siev and made so fine that, te the naked eye, a vat of this valuable materlal takes on the appearance of a smooth slab of snow-white marble. The best grade of cold cream is made from purest wax, flouded with rare Russian oil, properly ‘“‘seasoned"’ with filtered water. The spirit gum (just what its naine implies), is made in a large machine wherein the gum and spirits are . properly olned. ’ No factory embraces a better opportunity for observing the many details of the realy, intricate part of the art of make-up (the miiiu facturing), than The M. Stein Cosmetic Ov.'s recently enlarged plant at 120.W. Thirty-firet street, New York City. Beginning amid comparatively humble surroundings, under the personal fildance of M® Stein, the business of this concern grew toe such proportions that a portion of the present quarters was secured. Under the direction of F. D, Grotta, president, and J. L, Grotta, treasurer. business soon increast to such an extent that still more space was acquired, until now a veritable army of employes attend to the mixing and sealing, formerly done by . D. Brotta. unassisted. Year in, year out, the work of the factory goes on, uncheckt, for seasons affect the work of the M. Stein concern but slightly. New machinery is constantly supplanting the old, not in order to decrease the number of emplores, but to add to the output of the con cern, constantly increasing under the impetus of a country-wide demand F. PD. Grotta has personally designed a new machine which will extend thru two entire floors of the concern’s present quarters snd complete al! the work of cosmetic making in auch a way that the only assistance rendeged the machine will be a girl stationed on the lewer floor, sealing the boxes. This machine is the realization of a life-long dream shared by the Grotta bothers. and, dcubtless, will do much toward making thelr standard of cosmetics inimitable. PICTURE IN HALF A MINUTE. With the perfection of the Champion Sleeve Camera, the American Minute Photo Company, of Chicago, have invented a minute picture machine that makes the name of these cameras exaggerated exactly 50 per cent, in view of the fact that it does not take one minute by their process, but only a half a minute to take and develop and deliver the finisat foto. This is a demonstration that this enterprising concern !s keeping apace with this age of wonders. Their ambition has been to have more points of merit and advantage than found in anything else. and they state that their Champion over-reaches the'r fondest expectations in view of the fact that It finishes the sort of picture that might be expected from a regular time exposure delivery. The simplicity of construction and manipulation is a point they dwell forcibly on. They claim that because of the s'mple way in which it is built, guarantees it a longer life, gives it more durability and in many other ways makes it very desirable. Their great variety of designs in post cards finds considerable favor with their customers, as they lend a novelty to the finisht product which they claim is very attractiv. The machine 1s said to be fitted with a special portrait lens, which Is adapted for th's kind of work on account of the speedy exposures. One hundred sensitized plates can be placed in the camera at one time. It is also possible to load them into the machine In daylight. The strong claim of the manufacturers being that a dark room is unnecessary. The poss‘bilities for a machine of this kind can be seen at a glance. The wonderful pepniarity It will have at large gatherings and varions resorts will be tremendons. This machine has been used with snecess at night with the help of a strong are light, and it positivly takes and develops a picture in 30 seconds. WYANDOTTE CO. TO OPEN BRANCH.
