    We recommend the purchase of one
of the small books on photography which
contains all the necessary information  in a
concise and easily understandable manner.
Photographic  dealers  everywhere  have
such books on  sale. The  small expense
involved quickly pays for  itself as  it pre-
vents many  initial  mistakes.

         "Latger"   Contact   Prints
     Most photo finishefs throughout the
country are equipped with contact enlarge-
ment printers that produce approximately
3 x 4  prints from  the negatives you get
with  this Falcon Candid Camera.
      Retail  prices  for  these enlarged
prints  vary  in  different  sections of  the
United  States. However,   in most cases
they cost only slightly more than ordinary
quality prints. See your dealer for further          q
