Kodak Film Camera

SEVEN NEW SIZES,

ALL WITH

TRANSPARENT

FILM.

No apparatus connected with Photography has ever excited so much interest as

THE KODAK.

The No. 1, making a round picture, was only the entering wedge, and served its purpose admirably, in introducing to the public the vast advantages of a Camera using films over any form of Camera using glass.

This year we beg to call your attention to SEVEN NEW SIZES, viz.:—

No. 2, 31⁄2 inch Circular Picture,one finder.
No. 3, Regular, 3 1⁄4 × 4 1⁄4, Square Picture, two finders.
No. 3, Junior, „
No, 4, Regular, 4×5,
No. 4, Junior, „
No. 4, Folding, „
No. 5, „ 5×7, „ „ „

Send for the New KODAK PRIMER, fully describing all sizes and styles.

Transcriber’s Note

Obvious typographical errors were corrected. The spelling of French words has been made consistent. Also made consistent were those words which appear as hyphenated, joined or as two individual words (for example, first class to first-class and some one to someone). Other corrections were made where inconsistent or incorrect spellings were used in the publication. Where the inconsistencies occur in publication titles or quoted text passages, they were left as published.

Some of the entries in the INDEX appear to be missorted alphabetically. They were left as printed. On page 114, one line ends with “modifica-” and it is assumed “tion” was left off the next line.

Whole and fractional parts of numbers are displayed as 45⁄8 or as a decimal number. In several of the advertisements, another type of ‘fraction’ is displayed to represent shillings and pence: 1/11⁄2 is one shilling, one and one-half pence and 1/- is 1 shilling and no pence.
