Colored Cameras
TO rrr."t the mode, many Eastman camerasmay now be obtained in
color, but in order that fashion's dictates may be observed to the
minute, no specific color program can be announced in a book of this
kind. It may be accepted as fact, howel'er, that various Eastman
eameras, as announced in national advertising, u'ill take full adva,n-
tage of fashion's trend, both as to color and design.
A flexible program of this kind enables the Kodak Company not
only to follow the color vogue, but, as far as available merchandise is
concerned,to be a little ahead. In other words, here's one more exam-
ple of Eastman enterprise.
As a result of this policy, you ean be sure that the line of Eastman
eolored eameras on view at your Kodak dealer's is in striet conform-
ance with the latest decree of Paris and other color style centers. And
you can be sure, as well, that while bright, tasteful hues may be much
in evidence, there has been no interference rvith the time-honored
picture-making ability of the cameras themselves. First and foremost,
they are effieient photographic instruments. Style and color effects
follow with no sacrifice whatever to optical or mechanical efficiency.
Whether you v'ant the camera for yourself or as a gift that you
know will be welcomed, the Eastrnan line of colored models is some-
thing you ought to see.
