Messrs. Bailey & Spurgin, photographers of Indianapolis, publish a neat little paper called the "Sunbeam," full of wit, poetry, short stories, and enticing hints about their business. We think the public will easily infer that the gentlemen who have the enterprise and taste to get up the bright little paper, understand photography as well.
