We Are Making a Big Picture Like This For You

We couldn't help it.
The temptation was too big.

One of your pictures in the envelope is to blame; it is so fine that we had to keep the film and make you a Beautiful Big Picture of it.

We are making a real work of Art for you, painting it in "Life-Like" natural colors. You'll be crazy about it when you see it, it's so lovely.

It's about 4 or 5 times bigger than your small picture, and with the fine easel folder we are putting it in, you can stand or hang it up; will also make a splendid gift for some loved one.

Tell us on the enclosed card to let you see it, and we'll send it at once. It's such a splendid picture that you can not help liking it — but you be the judge and if we are mistaken, return it and we'll repay you, even for return postage.

Tomorrow we'll return your film to you, for by then our Artists will have finished your picture and only awaiting your instructions on the enclosed card to send it to you.
Please return this card at once, it needs no stamp.

Yours for finer pictures
Carl D. Newton
for
the Fox Co.
