    DIRECTIONS FOR USING
 YOUR NEW ANSCO CAMERA
Your new Ansco carnera is easy to operate, but read the follow-
ing instructions carefully before taking your first picture. The
camera needs no adjustment for distance; it is set to take sharp,
clear pictures from a distance of 5 feet to infinity. There is a
special device built into the camera to prevent double exPosures;
after taking a picture, film must be wound before you can take
another.

                                                                                                                      .      Select one of Ansco's fne flms  . .
