A sensation wns rrrnted in the I'liK

In the opinion of collectors who have

The known portraits of Iturns arc
chaiactcrizcd bj an exaggerated reline-'
nient of features. They hne not re-1
vcaled Iturns as the fanner. Sir Walter
Scott said that Iturns was "idealized"
in bis portraits. I
The most trustworthy portrait of
Iturns, the one fiom which widespread
copies are taken, is the Nasnijtb, done
in 17b7, by Alexander Nnsmyth. Scott
did not care for the Nasinyth. It was.
done nine euis before Iturns's death, j
when lie was twenty-eight jears old..
The original hangs on the main stair- j
way of the New York home of Andrew
Carnegie. The constiuction. technique. I
and position of the present portrait is
unlike Nasnijth. It is probably bj an
earlier painter. I
The present picture is -i' ny .!
inches. It is :i half-length study, ap
preciably larger than the Dundee find.
The, canvas had become ory dirt and
has 'been abused. It had been relined
lift' or sixty yeais ago and restored.

Pioneers on uncharted seas
Far back in the old days, when you vere a little codger at
school, how you thrilled at the story of Columbus !
How he sailed straight into the horizon, when every one
said the world was flat I How his men feared they would
come eventually to the edge and drop off ! How one fine
day came the gladsome shout of "Land! Land! "
Fundamentally the story of Columbus is the story of
every successful business. Always there was spme pioneer
some man with a vision some discoverer: some one who
charted the course for generations to follow.
Years ago, scientific filing was little more than an undis
covered country. Letters, reports, memos were filed flat or
on hooks. But as business grew, there came the need for
more system. And out of that need grew Library Bureau.
So it was that Library 'Bureau originated vertical filing the card record
system-r-the card record desk counter-bight units the L. B. Automatic
index and practically all the filing metb'ods that are accepted as standard
the world over.
L. B. is today the world's largest manufacturer of card record and filing
equipment. Its forty-three years experience will keep you off the rocks
and shoals and insure safe passage through all your filing difficulties.
