Clem C. Voorhis, photographer, 611 N. Illinois, has announced appointment of Ed J. Stone as head of his commercial department. Stone is well known in the commercial field in Indianapolis, having been affiliated with local companies for more than ten years. "It is my belief that the commercial end of photography is one of the most important phases of the business," Mr. Voorhis said. "Manufacturers in all lines are using pictures as a selling medium, and in many industries, photographs from the best means of selling obtainable. This is true in furniture, machinery, automobiles and other products where it is impossible for salesmen to display the real samples. Our business in commercial photography has grown considerable in the last few months, and we have found it necessary to enlarge this department. The addition of Mr. Stone to our organization will prove valuable to the business, since he has had wide experience in commercial work in the city, and will be able to give our customers the best service possible."
