The Expo Watch Camera is the most rtonderful and ingenious Camera mad.e.
It is but a little larger t,han a man's watch, which it closely resembies in shape
and appearance. You can carry the Expo about in your pocket and take
pictures without anyone being the wiser. It weighs only 3 ounces. ,It is loaded
in daylight with a roll fllm of either 10 or 20 exposures costing 20 cents and
30 cents respectively, and thus the picture taking part of a whole day's outing
may be had for a very nominal sum-z cents or less a picture. The size of
the photo is about the size of a posta€ie stamp, Ve x 7/einch, equal in clearness
to any camera regardless of price. The pictures can be enlarged. to any size.
This may seem incredible until you stop to consider that the moving pictures
you see on the screen are merely enlarg;ements of film no bigger than that used
by this marvelous Wa-tch Camera. The film is the same as that used by any
other camera, the only difference being in the size. The fllm is developetl,
printed and. treated the same as any other film. You can do the developing
and printing yourself if you wish, or have it done at your drug or
photographic supply store, the same as your other fllms.
Surprise your friends. Take their picture in the act of doing
some funny stunt. Next time you see them, produce the print. You
will have a lot of fun over their bewilderment and. catching people
in queer and awkward. positions. Carry the EXpO about in your
pocket-easily concealed. in the palm of the n*tt6-pictures can be
taken unobserved. Produces clear, sharp negatives, ind.oors or outdoors, equat
to any camera on the market.
The EXPO takes pictures through the stem, where the rapid flre lens is
located. Equipped with a time and instantaneous shutter. Thoroughly prac-
fisal-nef a toy. In daily use by the police, newspaper reporters, detectives,
and the public generally. Irnportant beats have been secured with the Expo'Watch
Camera. An enterprising and r-esourceful reporter on one of the larg€
New York daily newspapers secured some excellent pictures of the execution
of Mrs. snyder, who was electrocuted in sing Sing prison, N. y., for the murtler
of her husband. All prices are postpaid.

lf price were always an indication of value,
we could not recommend this camera as
nighly as we do. In this particular instance,
the unprecedented popularity which has
greeted the FOTH-DERBY abroad, has
enabled the maker to speed production to
the point where it is possible to offer this
precision camera at this price.
This instant and immediate response is due
to its extreme compactness, irreducible
weigi'lt, easy manipulation, fine optical
equipment, superb mechanical adjustments
and economy in operation.
Its equipment consists of a High Speed
f :3.5 lens with short {2") focal length,
permitting considerable latitude in setting
focusing scale; a focal plane shutter of
extraordinarily' simple operation which may
be set to any variety of speeds up to
l/5O0tn part of a second; and a magnifying
tube-sight view-finder of latest type which
shows the image in clear enlarged form.
Due to the clarity and "detail" of the fine
Foth Anastigmat Lens, enlargements bear
all the actual distinguishing characteristics
of good negative prints.
