Bulla in the photograph business at 88 Michigan street, has completely renovated and 'added improvements which make his gallery a model one. His rooms will be kept in first class order and all wanting pictures will do well to call and examine specimens of work which will compare favorably with any made in the city. In addition to regular portrait work, attention will be given to copying and enlarging old pictures, also to finishing in crayon, India ink or water colors. His gallery will be open on Sundays."
