In this list the prices of many Cameras, Lenses, Tripods, etc., are
given separately,for those who desire to make up an equipment differing
from those presented herein.
When the price is given for camera, holder and carrying case,it includcs
neither lens nor tripod. Our list has been prepared with great care, and
we have endeavored to be explicit enough to enable any one to select
such articles as will make a harmonious equipment. The sizes given
are the largest that each camera will admit of, but smaller plates can be
used in each by means of our inside kits, for each of which we give the
outside dimensions with size of plate that can be used in same.
As our equipments are sold at a less price than the several parts
could be bought for separately and combined, we suggest the purchase
of such complete,wherever possible, as a matter of economy. Where
lenses different from those accompanying the equipments are required,
the price for making up such special outfit can readily be reached, as
prices are given for the different parts that can be supplied separately.
When prices for such parts are not given, it designates that such
outfit is sold in one way only, viz., complete.
As will be seen, a complete outfit for making pictures measuring 4 x5
inches can be purchased for $r9.oo as follows :
No. r Equipment, described on Page 2, $g oo
4 x 5 Developing Outfit, described on page 95, S 25
4 x 5 Printing Outfit, described on page 95, 4 75
This will include everything necessary for making and developing
one dozen negatives, and making and mounting two dozen prints from
these negatives.
The cost of making subsequent pictures would be triflingr €rsthe de-
veloping and printing outfits include trays, graduates, funnels, etc., that
will last for years, and sufficient chemicals for making several dozen
additional negatives and prints.
A corresponding outfit for making 5 x 8 pictures would cost $zz.5o, as

EFThe prices given in this catalogue are liable to fluctuation. \f,Ihen any
article is reduced, the buyer will get the benefit without reference to the printed
list.
Read Carefully these Few Facts.
Presumably the reader of the following pages knows something of
the interesting art for which the articles enumerated in this catalogue
are provided. If not, he can acquire a general idea of it from what
follows, and we shall be pleased, on receipt of fifty cents, to mail to any
addressa book, in which all the details are given, entitled How to Make
Photographs ; A Manual forAmateurs, by T. C. Roche, recently published
by our house. It has been penned and edited by eminent theoretical and
practical photographers, and with the purpose of stating in the most
simple and concise language, everything necessary for any one to know
who may be disposed to engage in photography as an amateur. It will
be found equally serviceableto those who desire to practice the art as
an aid in their businessor profession, and all its statements may be im-
plicitly relied on for accuracy and practicability.
The introduction of the gelatino-bromide dry plate has so revolution-
ized photography that but little preliminary knowledge of it is now
essential; in fact, it is astonishing what can be agcomplished by totally
inexperienced amateurs rvho may exercise a little taste and judgment.
It is scarcely to be supposed that success should always attend one's
first efforts, but rapid progress can generally be made by old or young,
lady or gentleman, who may manifest the slightest disposition to excel.
Unlike the old " wet " plate, the gelatino-bromide process has the ad-
vantage of admitting a much wider latitude of exposure-that is to say,
the actual time which the sensitive plate may now be subjected to light,
though still important, is far less so than by the old collodion process,
and the subsequent operations are free from the former objections of
complexity, uncertainty and stains. The apparatus and chemicals
required are also few and inexpensive, and there is nothing which the
veriest tyro in chemistry cannot readily master.
Another obvious improvement is recognized in the exceeding lightness
and portability of the equipments, and their greater adaptability to the
requirements of the public.
Llnfortunately the increasing demand has led many personsto engage
in the manufacture and sale of apparatus and materials that are quite
inadequate for the attainment of satisfactory results. We therefore point
with pride to the intrinsic excellenceof every item in the following list-
the outcome of ,nore l/tan forly-eight ltears' diligent effort and experience
in the preparation of photographic supplies.View original page 5Page 6 · Read text

In selecting an outfit from those described in the following pages
there are two axioms it will be well to bear in mind. They are :
First.-The larger the camera, the greater the bulk and weight.
Second.-while a small picture can be made with a large camera, a
large picture cannotbe made with a small camera.
Remember, we do not make a single toy ; all our cameras are practical
working instruments such as are in constant use by professional photog-
raphers. A11are fitted with our Patent Double Dry Plate Holders, which
are by far the lightest, tightest and handiest holders made, and have
done as much as any other one thing toward giving popularity to our
equipments. The equipments are fitted with fine single achromatic
lenses, which (with the exception of the 4 x 5) are provided with changea-
ble diaphragms, so that the time of exposure may be varied to suit the
subject.
They are adapted for landscapes and out-of-door groups and in a
good light require but a second's time (or even less) to make a picture.
Amateurs who aim to excel, and with whom the cost is a secondary con-
sideration, are invited to examine the more expensive double achromatic
lenses described in the following pages.
Those made by Der,r,MEyERespecially can be depended on as being
absolutelythe bestin marhet. With these the very finest results are possible.
In buying do not forget that you are not going to make an experi-
ment. Your success is assured if you follow the printed directions.
Thousands have succeeded before you with only the ordinary amount
of brains, and some with less than is allowed to mankind generally. So
when you buy, buy as good an outfit as you can afford. With a cheap
instrument you can do good work, but with the better grades you can
do better work more easily. First decide what size you want, then gct
th.ebestyou can aford o1fthat size.
With these few hints and explanations we take pleasure in opening
to your view and for your consideration the pages of this little book,
with the further assurance that everything therein mentioned is guaran-
teed to be exactly as described.View original page 6Page 7 · Read text

The Patent Bijou Camera.
HIS LITTLE CAMERA is one of the neatest of its kind
ever made. When folded., it measures 5 x 5 x 3% inches, and can
readily be put in an ordinary hand-grip or may even be carried in the
overcoat pocket. It weighs only 14% ounces' and the holders are
correspondingly light and compact.
It has a sliding front, hinged ground
glass, and folding bed, which is provided
with a novel arrangement for fixing it in
position, enabling the operator to adjust
it in a few seconds. It is made of highly
polished mahogany, with flexible bellows
and brass mountings, making a remark-
ably elegant little instrument.
As the plate is the same size as those irsed with magic lanterns, slides
may be made from them by contact printing in an ordinary printing
frame. By using bromide paper in connection with a Cooper enlarging
lantern, the pictures may be made as large as desired. For tourists, to
whorsr weight and bulk are objections, this camera is of especial value,

The Leather Covered Detective Camera.
-f HIS CAMERA is focused for objects at various measured distances,
I and the points are marked upon the index shown in the cut at
the side of the box, the pointer of the index serving to act upon gear
work to bring the camera in adjustment for any given distance.
After this the ground glass may be entirely dispensed with, as it is
then only necessaryto estimate the distance of the object to be photo-
graphed and move the focusing lever to the mark corresponding to that
distance, when the camera will obviously be in focus.
The small lens in the upper left hand corner serves to throw the
picture on a piece of ground glass on the top of the camera, thus show-
ing the position of the image on the plate. \Mhen the picture appears
in proper position on this ground glass, it is only necessary to touch the
button on the right of the camera and the exposure of the plate is
instantly made, its development being afterward acccmplished in the
ordinary manner.
The slide is then replaced in the plate holder, which, being reversed,
the shutter reset, and the other slide drawn out, everything is ready for
the next shot.

the box, and is so constructed that the shutter may be set, released, and
its speed regulated, from the outside, without having to open the box at
all.
Lenses of varying focal length may be used and the diaphragms
changed without removing the shutter. A removable rear compartment
is also made for use with the camera, which is fitted to contain five
double holders and which is adapted to take the place of the focusing
cloth when the plate holders and rear partitions have been removed, an
advantage not possessed by any other style of detective camera. This
Camera may be carried and operated in our patent satchel, thus giving
it the appearance of an ordinary hand bag.
