The Kodak Camera.
 
FACTS ABOUT THE KODAK. It is the only Camera that will produce perfect work where the operator has no knowledge of photography. It makes 100 pictures without re-loading. It may be used by anybody. It can be used for out-door or interior views. It is small and compact, weighing less than two pounds. No tripod, no focusing or adjustment required.
 
DIVISION OF LABOR. If the operator does not wish to develop and finish his pictures, that work will be done at our factory by experts.
 
PHENOMENAL POPULARITY. -The Kodak has had a wider sale than any other Camera of this price ever put upon the market. This fact alone attests it practical worth. It is on sale in every civilized country on the globe.

CAUTION. It has been truly said that "imitation is the sincerest flattery," but certain parties are advertising a Camera as "better than the Kodak," which is an extremely cheap and worthless imitation.
 
We are the patentees of the Automatic Tension for Roll Holders, the only practical means for straining the film flat in the focus plane of the lens.
 
This principle is embodied in the construction of the "Kodak," and cannot be utilized by manufacturers of other cameras.
 
Any camera which exposes the film behind a glass plate is worthless. We are the only manufacturers of film, and guarantee it only when exposed in our patented apparatus.
