THE HOME SIDE
t N old, old friend drops in for the evening.
/l Talk turns to other days and presently
lA the ancient family album and the basket of
I I loose photographs appear from somewhere.
Full they are of pleasant memories and in reminiscent
mood each of you recalls a tale of the past that
through all the years has remained as clear within the
mind as a happening of yesterday. And, though,you
- hardly even to yourself-) do not admit if to anyone
there is one picture that makes your heart beat jus! a
) trifle quicker, and for the moment you fgrge!. thg
' ' t chatter of the friends present, in a dream of a friend
L - ' , ' of the days of long ago.
r \ And then you go to the drawer in the old seeretaire ft " i and fetch out a little package of Daguerreotypes.
't -t Quaint they are, with their ornamental casesand red
plush and gilt. And as you look at the_ pieture ofI grandfathei on his fifteenth birthday you declare that ttJohn looks just-of as his great grandfather_did.'2 And
there is one grand.mother and Aunt Elizabeth in
the full glory of puff sleevesand hoopskirbs. Their " hair is parted in the middle, with a net-bound water- " fall at the back, and at the throat each wears a
painted- miniature.
To you those pictures are beyond priee. But what
a delight if they were only supplementg{ by_ some-
thingless formal-Kodaks of those childhood _duy!,
Kodaks of the days of young man and womanhood,
Kodaks of the things that they were interested in, and
then Kodaks of their sunset days.
But the Kodak had not come then. Photography
was but creeping. It was the mysterious dark &ft,
not the intimate part of home life that it is to-day.View original page 4Page 6 · Read text

THE SIMPLE WAY TO BETTER
PICTTJRES
WO things we have always had in mind in
the manufacture of Kodaks and photo-
graphic material : simplifying the processes
of picture making and ilqproving the pic-
tures. Along these lines we are still progressing-

pr6tected is transferred in daylight to a metal e{P,
ivhete development is allowed to go on until comple-
tion. Simple to the last degree.
The matter of printing has engaged our attention.
Years ago-Weevery photographer coatedhis own printing
paper. perfected gelatile prinrting-out papers

eould only be printed by sunlight. Then came the
gaslight papers, of which Velox is the standard.

Besideithe non-curling feature, Kodak Dry Mount-t has other decided advantages. The Tissue l ins"dryTissue I; . ! is ; not sticky to handle ; mounting is done more

F there is any one lineOLTR of business in which
experience is more im-TWENTY .T portant than in anyYEARS other, that line is the man-
ufacture of highly sensitive
1OF photographic goods. And
( of all photographic pro-FILM
cesses,film making is the t -EXPE RI- most difficult. It has taken
us more than twenty yearsENCE to learn what we know
about making film.
And in that twenty years we have also learned how
to make the perfect raw materials which are abso-
lutely essentialto the manufacture of film-materials
which cannot be obtained in the market with a cer-
tainty that they will be what they should be. We
nitrate our own cotton for the film base ; we nitrate
our own silver for the emulsion. We go further, we
even make the acid with which the cotton and silver
are nitrated. Wherever it is possible to improve the
completed product by manufacturing the raw mate-
rial, we erect a factory and make that raw material.
Five years ago we felt that we were approaching
film perfection, but no concern, even if it could make
film as good as that upas,could compete in quality
with the Kodak N. C. Film of to-day. But experi-
enee is not the only advantage that our ehemists and
film makers enjoy. They have accessto the formulre

combined knowledge of the most expert film makers
and the most expert plate makers.
The wise amateur will be sure that he gets the film
with experience behind it. There are dealers, fortu-
nately not many, who try to substitute inferior filmsView original page 9Page 11 · Read text
NEW KODAKS AND NEW KODAK
GOODS HE efforts of our experimental department I
through the past year, now with this article # and now with that, have been fruitful. We , have brought to perfection a Kodak with en- t t ' tirely new features of equipment, the No. SB Quick-
Focus Kodak, and offer it this season as an effective box form camera of a most desirable size. u
The great successof the Folding Pocket Kodaks in
the larger sizes has inducdd us to go a step further and
in the new No. 4.{. Folding Kodak we have produced
a superb instrument of this type which takes a picture
a%x6%, an entirely new size in a film camera.
This new Kodak is fully described on page 24.
In our Kodak Tank Developers we have made a . il,t,II4* decided improvement this year. The Solution C.rp t1
(in the larger sizes)is now furnished with a eover, and
instead of turning the film in the eup end for end
during development, as heretofore, the entire cup
containing the film is now inverted. Covers are nol
furnished, however, for the Brownie Tanks, as in such
a small size there is no difficulty in taking out and
inverting the transferring reel. A new size Kodak " Tank Developer is also offered, the Z-inch." This
size takes No. 5 Cartridge Kodak Film
In papers and sundries we have also made improve-
ments and added to our lists : Velvet Bromide paper,
a new surfaee in Bromide paper like Velvet Velox,
will be welcomed by every amateur who does enlarg-
itg ; also Royal Re-Developer, a preparation for giv-
ing Sepia tones to Eastman's Bromide papers by "
simple process; a splendid line of new Albums at a
moderate price will interest every amateur. Kodak

HIS instrument is b"jlt upon the Cartridge -is
syst^em,daylight loading principle, but
distinct from all other Kodaks in that it per-
mits focusing on the screen or ground g[ass
without removing the roll of film from"the "urfr.ru.
This is accomplished by simply swinging the roll
holder containing. tle film o,rt- of tnd fJcal planer
whenever it is desired to use the Eround Elass.

A convenient feature in the conJtruction of this
camera is the,recgfs ploylded for carrying the ground
glass within the filnr- holder part of tie "i,-."r]where
it,is complet_elyout of the way, but instantly available
when desired for use. The d-ark slide, which protects
the film when raised out of the focal prane] is also

No. 4 SCREEN FOCUS KODAK
CONTINUED
This KodakJilffi" tH:o'lbrot,rtelynew in
camera construction. It will be especially appreciated
by that class of careful photographers who wish to use
film on account of its convenience, yet who want to be
able to perfect the composition of their picture by see-
it on the ground glass before exposure. The endlng
is gained in the new cameras,while at the same time
all the old Kodak simplicity is conserved.
In operating, the film cartridge is loaded into the
eamera in daylight in the usual way. To focus on
the ground glass, first pull a dark slide from its posi-
tion in the roll-holding part of the Kodak and insert
it in front of the film. This renders the film chamber
light-proof. The whole back of the Kodak containing
film is then swung up out of the focal plane and the
ground glass is placed in position. The meehanism
is such that the film cannot be swung up until the
dark slide is in position.

AS A PLATE CAMERA SIIO]MING EXTENSION FRONT
The roll holder being raised, it catches automat-
ically and remains in position. (Puge 27.) The
screen or ground glass frame is then removed
from its recess in roll holder, described on preceding
page, and snapped into position at the back of Kodak,
an operation requiring but an instant. The raised roll
holder projecting beyond the back of the Kodak will
act as a focusing shade, or a focusing cloth may be
used. After focusing, the ground glass is removed
and returned to its place.
Pressure on a spring releasescatch which holds roll
holder in position shown in cut. The film is then let
down into the focal plane, the dark slide removed, and
exposure made.
If desired, the usual focusing scale may be used
instead of the ground glass.

As a plate camera, it is light-, strong, and conveni-

constructed for use with plates only.
A feature which will commend the No. 4 Screen

with which the camera is equipped. This allows the
operator to work to within 22 inches of the sybject

valuabl"e in copying work, and in taking pic-
