      PALKO
        NEW AND DIFFERENT
     The Palko is a modern camera, rvith a new
    name and combination of essential features
     never before assembled in any photographic
     apparatus. In spite of its many rare and de-
      sirable qualities it is light, strong, compact
     and distinguished in appearance.

     In amateur photography the great advantageme      of seeing the image in perfect focus, as well
m    as correct proportion and size, can hardly be
ff;    over-estimated. There are no dark slides or
      separate parts necessary to accomplish this
       result.
          AUTOMATIC WINDING
    You insist on having a self-starter on your
      automobileo a self-filling fountain pen and
      stem-winding watch. Why not be as particu-
      lar in selecting a camera? The Palko offers
      the same advanced service in photggraphy.
    With dependable automatic film winding
     mechanism, exposures can be made very rap-

         idly and without the common danger of
         double exposing. Few amateurs have escaped
           this unhappy ending of a perfect photographic
          duy.
          DIFFERENT SIZE NEGATIVES
        The Palko uses standard roll film that can be
         purchased anywhere in the world from deal-
         ers in photo supplies. One of the great ad-
         vantages of the Palko is the ingenious mechan-
         ism permitting the operator to take three sizes
        of negatives in the same camera. (All size
         exposures are central with lens. ) A ten ex-
         posure film may be used in making ten large
         pictures 37/+" x 5t/2" , fifteen of two-thirds
          size37/+" x33/+", thirty of one-third size 3Y+"
         x l3/+" , or any combination of these sizes, and
         the six exposure film in the same proportion.
       Each size can be focused accurately on the
        ground glass. The size of the pictures can be
        changed instantly by turning a knurled disc.

            EXPOSURES COUNTED
        Exposures are automatically counted by a
        novel, reliable device which registers the
       amount of film exposed, so that the length
        of unexposed film can be easily calculated.
       When all the film is exposed, simply opening
       the loading door automatically returns the
         recording dial to 0, ready for a new count.
