General note
On back: True sympathy. Willie & Perry Dearth. "Whose little faces are those?" "Inmates of the Orphans' Home located at Mt. Vernon, Ohio." "Bright faces? Pretty, intelligent children! Very much so! Many such children in the state homeless?" "Hundreds of such!" "What a pity! I do pity them!" "How much?" "I have not put any price on my sympathy." "It will not be worth anything to them till you pride it and pay the price. But when you pity is valued and the price paid, it can be used for their good. And Solomon says, Prov. 19, 17: "He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord, and that which he hath given will He pay again." "Why were these pictures taken?" To raise money for the support of the children. Do you wish to help a little? If you can give 25 cents or more you can keep this picture. The work is supported by charity, and is the not sectarian, and homeless children are admitted from any part of the country. C.W. McWherter, superintendent. Babcock, photographer, 235 Summit Street, Toledo, Ohio.
