Book excerpt: Excerpt from Camera Craft, Vol. 9: A Photographic Monthly; September, 1904 Little more than a year ago, three young men came together to establish a commercial photographic printing establishment. These were-wilfred E. Smith, operator for Thors studio Richard A: Towers, head printer in the same establish ment, and J'ulien A. Bried, a mechanical and photographic experimentalist. The Towers Company was formed. The range of their capabilities covering as it did every form of photographic printing, as well as the high quality of their work, early gave them the business of the coast. The popularity of' bromid prints, the high favor which the process was accorded in the best studios, both for contact printing and enlargements, convinced them that but a few years were required in which to see this process used exclusively by the leading workers. Another significant trend was observed. The demand for very large work (enlargements), was found to be far in excess of the capabilities of the average producer. Partien larly the advertisers who used such work had discovered that the power of a large picture to secure and hold attention, quality of course being equal, was in an ever-increasing ratio to the superficial area of the photograph presented to their attention. As the value of an enlargement ten feet in length exceeded that of a ten-inch photograph, so does a thirty-foot enlargement multiply the value of the same picture far in excess of its multiple of the surface.
