"KODAK"
Is our registered and commonlaw trade mark and cannot be rightfully
applied except to goods of our manufacture. When a dealer tries to sell
you, under the Kodak name, a camera or films or other goods not of our
manufacture, you can be sure that he has an inferior article that he is
trying to market on the Kodak reputation, and he also makes himself
liable to suit by us for damages and injunction.
_If it isn't an Eastman, it isn't a Kodak_
KODAK SERVICE
Make it simpler.
From the very inception the Kodak Idea has been--make photography so
simple that anybody can take good pictures.
Simpler cameras, simpler processes have followed each other with almost
startling rapidity. But the Kodak Company has not been satisfied with
merely making mechanical and chemical improvements; it has assumed the
responsibility of educating people in picture taking. The very first
Kodak, way back in 1888, was accompanied by a so-called "manual" that
did more than merely explain the operation of the mechanical features of
the camera. It showed how the pictures should be taken, _how_ (and how
not) to photograph a tall building, how to photograph a small
child--told about the length of exposures in different kinds of light,
both in-doors and out. It was really a primary hand-book of photography.
From that day on, every piece of Kodak apparatus, every amateur product
of the Company has been accompanied by the most concise instructions,
instructions that were also constructive because they not only told the
beginner what to do but _why he was to do it_. Even in the Kodak
advertising matter as much space is given up to telling people how to
make pictures as in telling them why they should buy Kodak goods.
Booklets in large editions, giving instructions in practically every
phase of amateur photography have been and still are distributed without
charge. Photography has not merely been made simpler, it has been
explained to all who are interested.
"Kodakery"--A Monthly Help
And now comes a new help to the beginner--"Kodakery," a little magazine
that will tell the amateur how to get better pictures. It's beautifully
illustrated. Written and edited by those who know photography inside and
out and who also know the places where the amateur has trouble, it will
be a joy and a help to every enthusiast, will add for thousands to the
Witchery of Kodakery.
Every purchaser, after May 1st, 1914, of a Kodak or Brownie camera will
be entitled to "Kodakery" for one year without charge--he may have it
continued by subscribing at 50 cents per year if he so desires. In the
back of each Kodak and Brownie manual, which we are now printing, is a
"subscription blank" which, upon being properly filled out and mailed
to--"Kodakery," Toronto, Ont.--will entitle the purchaser of such camera
to one year's free subscription to "Kodakery." At the time this plan
goes into operation there may still be some such manuals without a
subscription blank, but in such case a blank may be obtained from the
dealer of whom the camera was purchased. Every purchaser of a Kodak or
Brownie Camera is entitled to one copy of the manual or instruction book
and to one year's subscription to "Kodakery."
The editors of "Kodakery" aim first of all to make the little book a
real help. At the same time it will be interesting and its delightful
illustrations will show the beginner new possibilities in amateur
photography. This little magazine is but a part of the Kodak Service. To
sell a camera and then turn the customer adrift has never been a part of
the Kodak plan. Along with our improvements in apparatus and materials,
we have always endeavored also to improve the Kodak Service. "Kodakery"
will, we believe, prove the means of keeping us more closely than ever
in touch with our customers. In many ways it will be directly
helpful--and it will always suggest the propriety of the customer's
going to his Kodak dealer or to us, if there are little difficulties
(there are no big ones, now) to be overcome.
It is to be a real help--a part of the Kodak Idea--one more aid to the
beginner in the making of good pictures.

Kodak Ball Bearing Shutter
This shutter is automatic and as its leaves are mounted on ball bearings
it operates with remarkable smoothness and precision. The leaves open
and close in the form of a star, admitting a much larger amount of light
in the same space of time than the ordinary type of shutter. All but the
No. 0 work with bulb or finger release and have variable indicated
speeds of 1/25, 1/50 and 1/100 second as well as bulb and time
exposures.
[Illustration]
They are also fitted with indicator for registering each exposure as
made and iris diaphragm.
Supplied with Kodak Junior No. 1A, and Folding Pocket Kodaks, Nos. 1A,
R. R. Type; 3, 3A and 4. The No. 0 is supplied with the Vest Pocket
Kodak and Vest Pocket Kodak Special, and is similar to the above
excepting that it works with finger release only, has variable speeds of
1/25 and 1/50 second, and is regularly equipped with the Kodak Autotime
Scale. The No. 0 is also supplied with the Kodak Junior No. 1, but in
this instance is not fitted with autotime scale.
Pocket Automatic Shutter
This shutter has star shaped opening and is automatic in action. It
works with finger release for bulb, time and instantaneous exposures and
is perfectly reliable in every respect. Fitted with iris diaphragm stops
and regularly supplied with Nos. 1 and 1A Folding Pocket Kodaks, and
Nos. 2 and 2A Folding Pocket Brownies.
[Illustration]
Brownie Ball Bearing Shutter
The ball bearing type of shutter has been found so accurate and reliable
that we have designed a shutter on the ball bearing principle for the 3
and 3A Folding Brownie cameras.
This shutter is well made in every respect, it works with bulb and tube
or finger release, and is fitted with the Kodak Autotime Scale--a great
help for amateur photographers, especially beginners.
[Illustration]
The Brownie Ball Bearing shutter works not only for time and bulb
exposures, but has variable indicated speeds of 1/25, 1/50 and 1/100
second. It is fitted with iris diaphragm and supplied with the Nos. 3
and 3A Folding Brownie cameras.
For a more complete description of the Kodak Autotime Scale supplied
with this shutter, see page 8.
Compound Shutter
The Compound shutter is an automatic and setting shutter combined.
Automatically, either time or bulb exposures may be made, while it may
be set for speeds of from 1 to 1/150, 1/200 and 1/250 second, according
to size of shutter. The shutter leaves are formed of segments opening in
star shape, giving even illumination over the entire plate the instant
the exposure is started, and an iris diaphragm is supplied for stopping
down.
[Illustration]
Case is made of aluminum, and accurate adjustments can be made with the
shutter in any position.
Regularly supplied on the Nos. 1A, 3, 3A Special and _Six-Three_ Kodaks
and as a special equipment with the Nos. 4 and 4A Folding Kodaks.
Kodak Automatic Shutter and Kodak Autotime Scale
The Kodak Automatic shutter is carefully adjusted for time, bulb and
instantaneous exposures. It is also graduated for fractional parts of a
second, and is unusually accurate.
[Illustration]
This shutter is fitted with the Kodak Autotime scale and is supplied as
a special equipment on the Nos. 1A, R. R. Type; 3, 3A and 4 Folding
Pocket Kodaks.
The Scale greatly reduces the liability of error in exposure, as it
automatically indicates the proper time and stop opening for subjects
under any condition of outdoor photography. It is exceedingly simple to
use. The speed indicator is merely set at the point on the scale
indicating the kind of light prevailing and the diaphragm indicator at
the point indicating the character of the subject.
These scales are also supplied at a nominal charge for the following
shutters when fitted with double lenses only, and can be readily
attached by any amateur. Always order by Style letter.
Style A. For use with Kodak Ball Bearing shutter, 2-1/2 x 4-1/4 and
3-1/4 x 4-1/4.

Style HHH. For use with No. 2, 4-1/4 x 6-1/2 and 5 x 7 Compound shutter.
Price for any style Compound shutter, $1.50.
Kodak Lenses
The regular R. R. and meniscus lenses used on Kodak and Brownie Cameras
have always been the best lenses of their respective types that could be
secured. These lenses are perfectly adapted to everyday amateur
photography, producing pictures under normal light conditions that leave
nothing to be desired by the average amateur.
For those, however, who wish even greater efficiency and capabilities,
we supply the anastigmat lens equipments.
The superiority of the anastigmat lens, without attempting to go into
the technicalities of the subject, consists of--Perfect definition over
the whole negative, absolute flatness of field, and higher speed.
In R. R. lenses the tendency to lack of definition toward the edges,
which always occurs in an uncorrected lens, is so slight as to be
unnoticeable except to the most expert eye. In a true anastigmat, it is
entirely eliminated.
The speed of a lens is determined by the relative size of the diaphragm
opening. An R. R. lens cannot be used at an opening greater than 1/8 its
focal length, commonly designated as _f._ 8. But an anastigmat lens can
be so corrected as to permit the use of larger diaphragm openings and
still produce sharp, clear negatives. This larger opening admits more
light within a given time than that of the R. R. lens, hence the
anastigmat is much faster. Thus the Zeiss or Cooke Kodak Anastigmat
lens, working at an aperture of _f._ 6.3 admits 60 per cent. more light
in a given time than does the R. R.
This speed advantage enables the user to make short exposures on dull
days or under poor light conditions, where hopelessly undertimed
negatives would result with an R. R. lens. And under proper conditions,
exposures up to 1/250 second with a Compound shutter and 1/1000 with a
focal plane shutter, can be made with the anastigmat.
In the last few years there has been a steadily increasing interest in
and demand for anastigmat lens equipments among amateur photographers,
and we responded to this demand, first by furnishing the Special Kodaks
fitted with Zeiss Kodak Anastigmat lens, _f._ 6.3--a lens fully
corrected and offering the advantage of high speed.
These have been followed by the _Six-Three_ Kodaks. These differ from
the Specials in that they are simply our regular Kodak models, without
the special covering and finish of "Specials," and fitted with
anastigmat lenses specially designed by Taylor, Taylor & Hobson, for
Kodak use and called the Cooke Kodak Anastigmat. This lens works at _f._
6.3 and is fully corrected in every particular.
Vest Pocket Kodak
The extraordinary popularity of the Vest Pocket Kodak is due not alone
to its compactness--it is so flat and smooth and small that it will
readily slip into a vest pocket--but also to the excellent quality of
its pictures, whether printed by contact or enlarged.
In fact, this little camera in itself is so very desirable and of such
general utility, that we furnish it with several different equipments to
meet any demand.
For average photography, the camera fitted with Kodak Ball Bearing
shutter and tested meniscus achromatic lens is amply efficient, for it
will make excellent pictures under ordinary conditions.
For those who want the microscopic definition of the anastigmat, we
offer the Vest Pocket Kodak, this year, fitted with the new Kodak
Anastigmat lens. This lens works at _f._ 8, it is fully corrected, and
made of the first quality of Jena glass. This makes a most desirable
outfit at a surprisingly low price for an anastigmat equipment.
Then for those who want not only the absolute sharpness and flatness of
field, but the maximum of speed as well, we offer the camera fitted with
Zeiss Kodak Anastigmat lens, _f._ 6.9.
[Illustration]
The appearance of the Vest Pocket Kodak is so suggestive of quality,
that it makes an ideal camera for gift purposes on holidays, birthdays,
at graduation time, and such occasions. For these purposes we have
devised the Kodak Gift Case shown in the illustration. The Vest Pocket
Kodak in this case is fitted with Kodak Anastigmat lens, _f._ 8. The
carrying case is of imported satin finish leather, in a shade of soft
brown that is in perfect harmony with the deep blue of the handsome
silk-lined container. The whole outfit possesses a quality and richness
that will appeal to the most fastidious.
The Vest Pocket Kodak with any equipment is always ready for action. It
is only necessary to pull out the front to its full extent, and the
camera is in focus for objects at any distance. The shutter is
automatic, and a convenient reversible finder, for composing the view in
either horizontal or vertical position, is provided.
[Illustration]
Another feature is the extreme simplicity in loading--nothing trappy or
fussy about it. Indeed, the operation of the camera is simple in every
detail, nothing in the way of simplicity or efficiency having been
sacrificed in order to reduce the size.
In Detail
For rectangular pictures, 1-5/8 x 2-1/2 inches. Capacity, 8 exposures
without reloading. Size of Kodak, 1 x 2-3/8 x 4-3/4 inches. Weight, 9

No. 1 Kodak Junior
So complete and varied has the Kodak line become, so altogether simple
is the operation of each camera, that each year it looks well nigh
impossible to strengthen the line or broaden the selection for the
amateur.
[Illustration]
However, the Kodak policy of never letting well enough alone has
developed two most attractive new models this year, which round off the
whole line, being built upon the idea of providing genuine
daylight-all-the-way Kodaks, with all the Kodak convenience and
dependability, for those who wish to take up photography at the minimum
of expense.
The first of these models, the No. 1 Kodak Junior, makes 2-1/4 x 3-1/4
pictures and loads with the Kodak Film cartridge of six exposures (No.
120). And for loading and unloading, the back of the camera is
constructed upon a new principle which makes it unusually easy to
remove.
A striking feature of this camera is its extreme thinness and all-around
compactness. It will readily slip into the pocket, and yet it is fully
equipped for efficient work in all branches of general amateur
photography. It is fitted with the No. 0 Ball Bearing shutter, speed
1/50 of a second, with cable release, as described on page 6, and offers
the choice of rapid rectilinear or meniscus achromatic lens. All lenses
fitted to this camera must stand the usual rigid Kodak tests.
The No. 1 Kodak Junior is provided with automatic focusing lock,
collapsible reversible finder, two tripod sockets--in fact, the
practical, convenient working equipment which one expects in a true
Kodak.
The camera is well made in every respect, it is covered with a good
quality of grain leather, and the metal parts are finished in nickel and
black enamel.
The low price means no stinting in either material or workmanship. It is
only possible through the perfection of our scientific factory
organization and the large quantities which our large distribution
enables us to make at one time.
[Illustration]
In Detail
For rectangular pictures. 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 inches. Capacity, 6 exposures
without reloading. Size of Kodak, 1-7/16 x 3-5/8 x 6-5/8 inches. Weight,
23 ounces. Lens, meniscus achromatic, 4-1/4-inch focus. Also supplied
with rapid rectilinear lens if desired. Shutter, Kodak Ball Hearing No.
0, with cable release. (See page 6.) Brilliant, reversible, collapsible
finder. The film cartridge for this camera is the same as the one used
for No. 2 Brownie and not for No. 1 Folding Pocket Kodak.

No. 1A Kodak Junior
In this new model is offered the advantages of low cost, with Kodak
efficiency, which we have seen in the No. 1 Kodak Junior, in a camera
made upon the same principle for 2-1/2 x 4-1/4 pictures.
[Illustration]
This is one of the most popular amateur sizes, the proportion being
unusually pleasing for landscapes, street scenes, and the like, in the
horizontal position, and admirably adapted for portraiture when used
vertically.
With its strikingly thin, compact form, its reliable equipment and its
low cost, the No. 1A Kodak Junior is sure to please anyone who prefers
pictures of this size.
This model will accommodate the regular twelve exposure Kodak N. C. Film
cartridges, and thus offers the daylight-all-the-way feature of all
Kodaks.
The shutter is the Kodak Ball Bearing with cable release, which works
not only for bulb and time exposures, but has variable indicated speeds
of 1/25, 1/50 and 1/100 second. The leaves, opening in the shape of a
star, admit the greatest possible amount of light, for a
between-the-lens shutter, at each exposure.
The camera is furnished with either meniscus achromatic or rapid
rectilinear lens. In both cases the lens is carefully tested and must
conform to the high Kodak standard before it is allowed to go on the
camera.
Simplicity marks this camera in every respect. It is made with the new
style back--unusually easy to remove for loading and unloading. It has
an automatic focusing lock, which permits the camera to be brought to
focus quickly for objects at any distance. The finder is of the new
collapsible type; it is reversible, and two tripod sockets are
furnished, so that the camera may be easily used in either the vertical
or horizontal position.
So compact that it will readily slip into the pocket, this camera offers
that high standard of efficiency which is inseparable from the Kodak
idea. The back and bed are made of aluminum, the covering is genuine
leather, and metal parts are finished in nickel and black enamel.
[Illustration]

Nos. 1 and 1A Folding Pocket Kodaks
[Illustration]
These little Kodaks are designed for those who wish compact folding
cameras which can be easily carried in the pocket and which will make
pictures without the necessity of focusing or estimating distances.
Upon opening the camera the front springs automatically into position,
ready at once for making pictures of objects at any distance. A
reversible finder makes composition easy, and slight pressure of the
shutter lever makes the exposure.
When closed the bed folds over front and bellows, concealing all
adjustments, and the camera can then be very conveniently carried in any
coat pocket. The camera is made of aluminum, with best seal grain
leather covering and has nickel fittings. They differ only in the size
of the pictures they make.
In Detail

No. 1A Folding-Pocket Kodak--R. R. Type
[Illustration]
This is a camera of greater capabilities and wider scope than those
previously described--the first of that series of double lens Kodaks
which have played such a prominent part in the development and
popularization of amateur photography.
These cameras are fitted with the best R. R. lenses to be had, each one
carefully tested to the highest standard and fitted only if it conforms
to that standard. The shutter is of the Kodak Ball Bearing type.
The camera as a whole makes a compact, inexpensive outfit, considering
its capabilities, and one which, though suitable for the most serious
work, will slip readily into the pocket, and is so simple that it may be
effectively handled by the beginner.
In Detail
For rectangular pictures, 2-1/2 x 4-1/4 inches. Capacity, 12 exposures

Nos. 3 and 4 Folding Pocket Kodaks
These cameras are made for two standard amateur size pictures and are
similar in every essential respect excepting in the matter of size. The
No. 3 makes 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 pictures--a favorite with many, and especially
suitable for lantern slide making, as the slide can be printed by direct
contact. The No. 4 makes 4 x 5 pictures and is preferred by many on
account of the comparatively large size which it is possible to get of
the objects in the composition.
[Illustration]
Both cameras offer the usual Kodak simplicity, and the exceptional lens
and shutter equipment which assures the user the maximum of efficiency
in all work where an anastigmat equipment is not necessary. The
illustration on the opposite page shows the No. 3.
The shutter is the Kodak Ball Bearing, in which is mounted an R. R. lens
which must stand the most rigid test before it is passed by our
inspectors. This lens works at _f._ 8, and as the leaves of the Kodak
Ball Bearing shutter open in the shape of a star, the greatest possible
amount of light is admitted at this opening--a fact which makes the
instruments especially valuable for snap-shot work.
The cameras are equipped with rising and sliding front--a great
convenience in architectural and many forms of landscape photography,
and an automatic focusing lock is provided so that either can quickly be
brought to focus at any-distance.
While these models, of course, are designed for the use of our roll
films, either can be loaded with plates at any time by the addition of a
simple plate adapter or combination back (supplied extra). This is
interchangeable with the regular back, is provided with ground glass for
focusing and takes double plate holders. (See similar back illustrated
on page 20.)
Both cameras are handsomely finished throughout. Back and bed are of
aluminum, metal parts are highly nickeled, and covering is of fine
quality grain leather.

No. 3A Folding Pocket Kodak
The best thought of our manufacturing organization has been put into
presenting in this model a moderate priced camera for general amateur
photography that is the embodiment of skill and painstaking care.
[Illustration]
It has in fact come to be recognized as the standard in hand cameras,
and every suitable improvement made, or new idea evolved in the years in
which it has been on the market, has been incorporated in its
construction.
The 3A Folding Pocket Kodak was the first camera made for 3-1/4 x 5-1/2
pictures--a size which has become the most popular of all amateur sizes.
Its proportions are just right for post cards, it is unusually effective
for landscapes and street scenes when used horizontally; while
vertically, it is ideal for portraiture, whether full length or head and
shoulders, when the camera is fitted with Kodak Portrait Attachment.
The camera is fitted with tested R. R. lens, the Kodak Ball Bearing
shutter, and rising and sliding front. And it is so simple that a
beginner can make good pictures with it from the start.
[Illustration: Showing Combination Back with Focusing Screen]
Like the No. 3, this model will accommodate plates as well as films by
the simple addition of a combination back, which is interchangeable with
the regular back. This may be secured from any dealer, it is fitted with
ground glass and takes double plate holders.
This camera is covered with best quality of fine grain leather, and has
nickeled fittings.

No. 4A Folding Kodak
For very large size pictures, we offer the No. 4A Folding Kodak--a
camera which combines all the simple and convenient Kodak features in a
very light and compact camera, considering the size of the pictures it
makes. It is fully equipped for out-of-the-ordinary work, as well as for
snap-shot and general amateur photography.
[Illustration]
One of its special features is its adaptability to home portraiture.
Fitted with the Kodak Portrait Attachment, it will make bust portraits
up to the full size of the film, as it may be operated as close as 3-1/2
feet to the subject. A plate adapter (extra) with focusing screen,
interchangeable with the regular back, will permit the use of dry plates
if desired.
The shutter supplied with this model is a double valve automatic, which
works not only for time and bulb exposures, but is also graduated in
fractional parts of a second from 1/100 to 1. The lens is a Rapid
Rectilinear of the same high quality as those supplied with the
preceding Kodaks.
The camera is equipped with rising and sliding front, rack and pinion
for easy focusing, two tripod sockets and a very positive automatic
standard clamp. The regular finder is a brilliant reversible, but when
desired, a direct view finder can be furnished for specially quick
snap-shot work with the camera held on a level with the eyes.
Constructed with the same care and attention to detail as the preceding
model, the No. 4A is just as simple to operate, and is finished in the
same style, with seal grain covering and nickeled fittings.

Panoram Kodaks
The Panoram Kodak does a special kind of work--a very desirable kind of
work which cannot be done with a camera of any other type.
As its name implies, it is constructed so as to take panoramic pictures
of outdoor groups, landscapes, mountain views, and the like.
For instance, in making a picture of an outdoor group of twelve or
fifteen people, with an ordinary camera, they would have to be arranged
in two or three rows to get good sized images, but with a Panoram they
can be arranged in a semi-circle, at a given distance from the camera,
and all appear in the picture in one row and of the proper relative
size. Again, in making a landscape, the sweep of the Panoram lens will
take in the complete view, while the scope of the ordinary camera could
only permit a portion of it to be taken at one exposure.
In addition to its use for making horizontal pictures, the camera may be
as easily used in the vertical position, and decidedly unique pictures
of high waterfalls, mountain peaks and such subjects can be secured.
The lens is mounted on a pivot and when the exposure is to be made, by
pressing a lever the lens automatically swings on this pivot from one
side of the camera to the other, embracing an angle of over 100 degrees.
At the same time, the shutter operates automatically with great
precision, insuring even illumination throughout the exposure.
There is no complication whatever in operation, the whole process is
automatic; it's just as easy to make pictures with the Panoram as with
any other Kodak.
Those who already have other Kodaks or contemplate purchasing such, will
find this a valuable addition to their photographic equipment for the
making of out-of-the-ordinary pictures.
Panoram Kodaks use the regular daylight loading N. C. Kodak film, they
are carefully made, have genuine leather coverings and nickeled
fittings.
The No. 1 has a scope of 112 degrees, while the No. 4 embraces an angle
of 142 degrees. Panoram Kodaks cannot be used successfully indoors.

Nos. 1A and 3 Special Kodaks
The Special Kodaks are made upon the idea of providing the very best
possible in hand cameras. A fine anastigmat lens, made expressly for
hand camera work, a high speed, accurate shutter, a complete operating
equipment, and the best materials procurable, richly finished--these,
moulded together by the most expert camera workmen in the world, leave
nothing to be desired by the user, whether he be beginner or expert.
[Illustration]
Aside from the requirements of the focal plane specialist, there is no
condition under which amateur pictures can be made, in which these
cameras will not produce the best possible results.
The Nos. 1A and 3 Specials are alike in every respect excepting in
size--the No. 1A making 2-1/2 x 4-1/4 pictures and the No. 3 the larger
3-1/4 x 4-1/4 size.
Each is fitted with the Zeiss Kodak Anastigmat lens working at a maximum
opening of _f._ 6.3, and with the Compound shutter attaining a speed of
1/250 second. The fast lenses give the Specials a great advantage over
the ordinary camera in dull lights, and in combination with the Compound
shutter, make them second only to cameras having focal plane shutters
for photographing rapidly moving objects.
They have rising and sliding fronts, reversible finders, rack and pinion
for focusing, spirit levels, in fact every useful convenience that can
be put into a hand camera. The No. 3 size will take plates by addition
of a combination back (supplied extra).
Made as the last word in photographic perfection, these cameras are
beautifully finished. Covered with genuine Persian Morocco, with rich
black leather bellows and nickeled fittings, they bear the impress of
the quality that is in them.

No. 3A Special Kodak
To combine in one instrument every feature that could add to practical
efficiency and yet retain the pocket Kodak convenience and simplicity
was the work that we set for ourselves in designing the 3A Special
Kodak. In no respect did we fall short of that work. In this camera no
essential to good picture making is omitted, yet it has no unnecessary
"contraptions" to annoy and befog the beginner. It is recognized as the
highest type of hand camera for the amateur--skilled or unskilled.
[Illustration]
The 3A Special Kodak is equipped with the Zeiss Kodak Anastigmat lens,
_f._ 6.3, the anastigmat made especially for hand camera work and
combining speed, depth and definition in an unusual degree. The shutter
is the Compound, operated by either cable or finger release and having a
maximum speed of 1/200 second.
With this equipment it is possible to get well-timed pictures, under
light conditions that would be fatal to good results with the ordinary
camera and in bright light to make successful exposures as short as
1/200 second.
The 3A Special has a most complete equipment in keeping with the high
grade of work for which it is designed. It has both rising and sliding
front, reversible finder, rack and pinion for focusing, spirit level,
double focusing scale--one for films and the other for plates.
The camera body is made of aluminum, producing a very light, yet strong
and durable, instrument. The finish and appointments are of the richest.
The covering is genuine Persian Morocco, the bellows is of black
selected leather, and these in connection with the highly nickeled
fittings and dull black enameled shutter add that look of quality that
is in harmony with its genuine efficiency and worth.

_Six-Three_ Kodaks
[Illustration]
From the time that the Kodak catalogue appeared last year, containing
the first announcement of the _Six-Three_ Kodaks, it was evident that
these cameras were to score a great success. The demand for them grew,
as it were, over night, and has steadily kept up ever since.
This is a natural enough condition, when it is considered that
_Six-Three_ Kodaks provide those who want the anastigmat advantages of
definition, flatness of field, and speed, at the minimum of expense,
with suitably equipped and fully reliable cameras.
To produce such cameras we have taken the regular Folding Pocket Kodak
models and replaced the R. R. lens and Ball Bearing shutter equipments
with the Compound shutter with cable release and the Cooke Kodak
anastigmat lens. This lens is an anastigmat of first quality, fully
corrected and working at a maximum speed of _f._ 6.3.
For other details on any _Six-Three_ Kodak, merely refer to the detailed
specifications of the corresponding regular model.

No. 1 Brownie
[Illustration]
This, the first of the Brownies, is really responsible for the entire
line of these popular cameras. Originally produced as a camera
particularly for the children, the No. 1 Brownie made such good pictures
in their hands as to excite the interest of grown-up people, and the
success obtained by its use created a demand for similar inexpensive
cameras for pictures of larger size. The No. 1 Brownie is exceedingly
simple to operate and each camera has to undergo the regular Kodak
inspection, before being sent out.
The scope of view is ordinarily located by V-shaped lines at the top,
but if preferred the Brownie finder (detachable) illustrated below, can
be fitted at an extra charge of 25 cents.
Has automatic shutter for time or snap-shot exposures, and will make
good portraits when fitted with Kodak Portrait Attachment.

No. 3 Brownie
[Illustration]
For those who want larger pictures, the No. 3 Brownie offers the same
simplicity, the same reliability and the same proportionately low cost,
in a camera for 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 pictures, as do the smaller Brownies.
This camera is capable of producing excellent pictures in the hands of
the young or the old, and its negatives are of such quality as to yield
very good enlargements by use of the inexpensive Brownie Enlarging
Camera. In fact, this is a feature of all Brownies.
By the addition of a Kodak Portrait Attachment this instrument can be
used with excellent success in home portraiture.
The No. 3 Brownie is well made in every respect. It has durable
imitation leather covering, metal parts are nickeled and it offers the
daylight-all-the-way feature of the Kodaks.

No. 2 Folding Pocket Brownie
[Illustration]
The folding Brownies are made upon the same idea of simplicity and low
cost as the box forms. They are so closely related to the
Kodaks--offering, as they do, the daylight-all-the-way feature and made
in the Kodak factories, by Kodak workmen--that they well deserve the
name "little cousins of the Kodaks."
The No. 2 is a very dainty little camera which will slip readily into an
ordinary pocket, and make excellent pictures the all-by-daylight-way. It
is fitted with our Pocket Automatic shutter working for time, bulb and
snap-shot exposures, in which is mounted an excellent meniscus lens.
Fitted with Kodak Portrait Attachment, this becomes a good camera for
home portraiture, and the negatives which it makes will yield excellent
5 x 7 enlargements by use of the Brownie Enlarging Camera.
The camera is carefully finished throughout, it has imitation leather
covering and nickeled fittings.
In Detail
