An Important Change. A most important business change was consummated when the Art Studio of Indianapolis recently absorbed the famous Art and Photographic Galleries formerly belonging to and under the management of Marceau & Power, at 38 North Illinois street. These galleries, under the new regime, will be placed on an even higher plane than ever before, and will be the equal of, it not superior to, any other galleries in the country. The whole interior has been entirely remodeled and refitted with new fixtures, decoration, furniture, carpets, etc. First floor contains elegantly furnished reception room and the business offices of the new institution, while 2nd floor is a thoroughly modern equipped operating room, with all the latest appliances and appurtenances, and with the best artists obtainable on the residence staff. An elegant array of crayons, porcelains, photographs, etc., in all the different finishes, and in fact, samples of every class of work, are on exhibition, and the public is cordially invited to inspect them. You will be made welcome by courteous attendants. Special price of $4.00 per dozen is made on $8 grand panel photos.
