it is to take pictures with the Model I Conley Box Camera,
and you will be equally surprised to see what good pictures
it will take. Cameras of this size and style of construction are by
far the most popular cameras made for amateur use, and the
enormous number of these cameras that we sell every year has
enabled us to reduce the manufacturing cost so that we can sell
this camera at less than one-half the price ordinarily charged for
cameras of this style and quality.
WHILE WE SELL THIS CAMERA AT THE LOW-
EST PRICE EVER KNOWN for camerasof this style,we
do not sacrifice the quality in any of those details which would
afTect its effrciency as a picture taking machine. It is fitted with
an extra good singfe achromatic lens of universal or fixed focus,
ground from the finest imported Mantois glass, and a very simple
but mechanically perfect shutter. The wood used in the con-
struction of this camera is carefully
selected, thoroughly air seasoned and
kiln dried; the box is handsomely cov-
