SHANE'S NEW PHOTOGRAPH GALLERY.
A Herald-Tribune reporter called recently at the new photograph rooms of Captain J. B. Shane, 615 Massachusetts street. A few months ago Mr. Shane found his old gallery inadequate to meet the demands of his increasing business, so he decided to erect a new building, two stories, with the second floor especially arranged for a photograph gallery. The building has been completed, and is among the handsomest on Massachusetts street. The building is of brick and stone. A large stairway gives access from the street to the second floor, where one finds himself on the threshold of a large, elegant reception-room, facing on Massachusetts street, handsomely furnished. A piano adorns one side, while on the other is a large chair, sofas and bright photographed faces adorning the walls. Opening from this is the operating room, 25x28 feet, with the special advantage of an extra sky and side light constructed so as to be utilized as desired. In this room several landscape paintings are nicely arranged, and serve as a background. The furniture is all new and the instruments of the latest and best patterns made. The "Dallmeyer" lens which Captain Shane is using is the largest and best made, and is so acknowledged by the photographic fraternity. With this lens can be taken any sized picture from cabinets to life-size, and is constructed to embrace any angle of picture from 60 to 80 degrees. It can be used with a full opening, and possesses four times greater rapidity than any other lens made. With this lens it makes little difference how cloudy and dim the day, it will do good work. It is especially adapted for instantaneous effects, such as landscapes, etc. The picture produced by this lens is absolutely free from distortion, spots and other faults, which appear with the general make of lenses.
The camera used with this lens is the latest improved Cinema, with lever attachment, by which the most minute adjustment of the focus can be obtained. The lens, camera, stand, and other things that make this instrument complete, cost $600, which makes it the most costly instrument made; so that Lawrence has within her limits a photograph gallery containing the finest instrument known to the photograph profession. Developing trays, printing apparatus, in fact, everything about the establishment is of the oldest and most improved pattern. Taken in its entirety, the gallery is one of the finest and best arranged in point of light, scenery, furniture and instruments, to be found in the West.
Capt. Shane came to Lawrence six years ago and started in the photograph business in a small way, in order to see what the future would develop. Shortly after he started in business, a revolution took place in the methods of making photos. His business increased very rapidly. A few months ago he bounced out the Chicago gallery, and finding his quarters too small to accommodate his increasing business, he concluded to erect the new building he now occupies.
The Chicago gallery, over Hume's shoe store, presided over by Capt Shane's son George, does good work, as the two galleries are run in connection. Captain Shane is to be congratulated for his enterprise, and merits the large business he now enjoys.—Herald-Tribune.
A COURCIER reporter reading the above, and noting that it spoke of facilities in the photograph line he did not believe existed in any gallery in the State, called to verify his doubts. After an hours inspection, he found himself thoroughly convinced. It is one of the finest equipped galleries in the West. Students should take advantage of its facilities while they are here for the year.
LAWRENCE BUSINESS COLLEGE.
Every young and middle-age man or woman should have a thorough business education. There is no question about this. Experience has proved it time and again. A business man's safest capital is his practical knowledge of the principles governing the commercial world, and not the amount he can draw upon his credit for at the bank. How many of our successful business men owe their success to a fortune left them? Not one! How many young men left in the world with a large estate, but with no practical knowledge of how to manage it, come out at the end of ten years with what they started with? Not one! No, not one! but every young man or woman who expects to gain either a moderate or an eminent degree of distinction in the business world must thoroughly acquaint themselves with the laws, usages and methods of business men.
How this can be most readily obtained, is an important question for all. It used to be that a young man would apprentice himself to a merchant and labor two, three or four years at very meagre wages before he could think of entering the commercial race with any reasonable hope of success. But with the improvements of the age has come the Business College of to-day, where all the complications of commerce is reduced to method and taught as a science. Here a pupil learns the practical and expeditional modes of calculation; the duties of shipping clerk, entry and bill clerk, book-keeper and correspondent. He is made familiar with the usages relating to the handling of money, drafts, bills of exchange, negotiable paper, &c. It doesn't take him any three or four years to learn this, as formerly, either. But after six months or a years work in any of our leading Business Colleges of to-day, the young man of average ability finds himself competent to transact business right along with men of experience.
It was our pleasure a few days ago to be shown through the different apartments of the Lawrence Business College, which is second to none in the West. We were first takeup to Prof. McIlravy's office, and shown some very fine specimens of plain and ornamental penmanship and artistic drawing, together with the diplomas awarded for excellence in the several departments, wherever exhibited all over the country. Among these we might mention the first award (blue ribbon) at the Inter-State Exposition held at Kansas City, on best course of study in Commercial College, best sets of book-keeping worked up by students of Commercial College, best miscellaneous penmanship, by E. L. McIlravy, and premium on best display. It also took first premium at Kansas State Fair, held at Topeka, and at the Western National at Bismarck.
We were next taken to the Commercial Law recitation room, which is in charge of Prof. Boor, who is a man of brilliant acquirements, ripe experience, thoroughly versed in the intricacies of Mercantile Law, and eminently able to give one a good understanding of mercantile usages, such as those relating to the handling of money, drafts, bills of exchange, and the laws of maturity and presentation of commercial paper.
We were then shown through the
Book-keeping and Commercial Arithmetic Departments. In each of these branches the work done is very thorough. The student in book keeping is first made familiar with the principles and theory of double entry, then he is taught to apply them to business transactions, thus making practical what he has learned. He is advanced step by step until he has mastered the Day Book, Journal, Ledger, Cash Book, Invoice Book, Sales Book, and a great variety of Special Column Books.
In Commercial Arithmetic, the text-book is in every sense of the word a business arithmetic. Most of the problems have been gathered from business houses in America's metropolis, and whatever has been found necessary for any student in order to master the whole subject of commercial calculations, has been here supplied.
Next we were taken to the main Study Hall, in charge of Professor Wyman. The penmanship classes are taught in this room also. The pupils are doing some fine work in ornamental penmanship. Every thing in the school is carried on in a way that evinces perfect method, harmony and thoroughness in the modes of discipline.
Lastly we were taken to the actua Business Room, where all kinds of business is transacted by means of the National College Bank; the Office Department consisting of a Jobbing house, commission house, and several retail firms, all of which are engaged in business with the students of the Business Practice Department; The Merchants Emporium, which supply at wholesale the stocks of merchandise, and the Commission House, which is the same as any well-regulated commission house.
Thus the student is enabled to carry on a business as complete in its details as that of any well-managed business firm.
Since the establishment of the Lawrence Business College, it has never opened with more flattering prospects for a successful year, than it has this fall. Every department is thoroughly up to its accustomed standard. There is in attendance at present over a hundred pupils, of whom more than one-third are ladies.
It has been the aim of the faculty to place this college upon a plane far above all its contemporaries. No efforts have been withheld nor expenses spared to the accomplishment of this object, and that these efforts have been successful, is fully demonstrated by the prosperous condition of the college at the present time. The college has received numerous encomiums from abroad, and has a reputation second to none in the great West.
We take great pleasure in recommending to the public the faculty of the Lawrence Business College, as it is composed of the most competent and successful professors of the several branches alluded to, in addition to the able president, Prof. E. L. McIrray; assistants, Winans, Boor and Mrs. Rankin.
The objection has been frequently raised against business colleges, that they are too theoretical, and the knowledge students get from them is of no practical utility. But no such objection can be raised against the Lawrence Business College, for they have the most practical courses of any schoolin existence, and their methods are most perfect.
Students can enter at any time and begin their studies without regard to the progress made by others.
It will pay any young man or woman to examine this college before going elsewhere for a business education.
