A Photograph May
Be Truly a Work
of Art
TTHE MOUNTAIN THAT
BROUGHT•FORTH A MOUSE
The artistry and skill of the Hayes
craftsmen and the experience of more
than 35 years of producing photo-
graphic portraits for Detroit's more
discriminating families, enables this
studio to combine those subtleties of
composition and tone which differen-
tiate between simply a "photograph"
and a portrait which is genuinely artis-
tic. While Hayes portraits are invari-
ably in keeping with the modern trend,
still they are so conservative as to be
always in unquestionable good taste.

The league is now looked upon
as a small society of assimilated

best intentions but who have
chosen the wrong way and have
created an organization which has
no chance of becoming powerful
in Franco-Jewish communal life.
