No. 3 Brownie
For those who want larger pictures, the No. 3 Brownie offers the same simplicity, the same reliability and the same proportionately low cost, in a camera for 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 pictures, as do the smaller Brownies.
This camera is capable of producing excellent pictures in the hands of the young or the old, and its negatives are of such quality as to yield very good enlargements by use of the inexpensive Brownie Enlarging Camera. In fact, this is a feature of all Brownies.
By the addition of a Kodak Portrait Attachment this instrument can be used with excellent success in home portraiture.
The No. 3 Brownie is well made in every respect. It has durable imitation leather covering, metal parts are nickeled and it offers the daylight-all-the-way feature of the Kodaks.

No. 2 Folding Pocket Brownie
The folding Brownies are made upon the same idea of simplicity and low cost as the box forms. They are so closely related to the Kodaks--offering, as they do, the daylight-all-the-way feature and made in the Kodak factories, by Kodak workmen--that they well deserve the name "little cousins of the Kodaks."
The No. 2 is a very dainty little camera which will slip readily into an ordinary pocket, and make excellent pictures the all-by-daylight-way. It is fitted with our Pocket Automatic shutter working for time, bulb and snap-shot exposures, in which is mounted an excellent meniscus lens. Fitted with Kodak Portrait Attachment, this becomes a good camera for home portraiture, and the negatives which it makes will yield excellent 5 x 7 enlargements by use of the Brownie Enlarging Camera.
The camera is carefully finished throughout, it has imitation leather covering and nickeled fittings.

No. 2A Folding Pocket Brownie
The pleasing proportions of the pictures taken by this little Brownie, combined with its simple operation and reliability, have made it one of the most popular cameras of the whole Brownie line.
For effective landscape composition and full and three-quarter length portraits, the shape of its pictures is ideal. And when fitted with Kodak Portrait Attachment, it may be operated close up to the subject for bust portraits.
Identical in construction and general design with the No. 2, this model can as easily be carried in the pocket, works for time, bulb and instantaneous exposures, and is well finished throughout. Attractively covered with best imitation leather, and metal parts are highly nickeled.

No. 3 Folding Brownie
Always an efficient camera, the capabilities of the No. 3 Folding Brownie have been still further increased by the addition of the Brownie Ball Bearing shutter. This shutter, made upon the same principle as the Kodak Ball Bearing, with its star-shaped opening and smooth, accurate action, makes the camera especially effective for snap-shot work.
No. 3 Folding Brownies are well made, dependable cameras in every respect, they have the simplicity and daylight-all-the-way feature of their big cousins, the Kodaks, and offer the choice of either double or single lens equipment. Illustration shows camera with single lens.

No. 3A Folding Brownie
Like the No. 3, the efficiency of this model has been greatly augmented by addition of the Brownie Ball Bearing shutter.
It offers the choice of either single or double lens, and working with the usual Brownie simplicity, it makes a highly effective camera, for the popular 3-1/4 x 5-1/2 pictures, at low cost.
This camera will produce extremely good results in general amateur photography, under ordinarily favorable conditions, and when fitted with Kodak Portrait Attachment, becomes a most dependable outfit for home portraiture. It is covered with durable imitation leather, has nickeled fittings and a neat, attractive appearance. Illustration shows camera with double lens.

Brownie Enlarging Camera
The average amateur usually thinks of enlarging as an intricate, expensive process, requiring considerable skill and experience. But such is not the fact. Even a youngster can make first-rate enlargements with a Brownie Enlarging Camera. It's just as easy as printing on Velox paper. In fact the two processes are very much the same, excepting that in printing, the negative and paper are in close contact, while in enlarging, the paper is at some distance from the negative, with a lens in between.
As shown in the illustration, the Brownie Enlarging Camera is simplicity itself. It's just a light-tight cone with an attachment at the small end to hold the negative, and another at the large end for the paper. Provision is made inside for holding the lens.
To make an enlargement, one merely places the negative and paper in place, holds the negative end up to the light for a specified time and then develops the paper as usual.
One of these inexpensive outfits will enable you to make enlargements at any time from your favorite negatives.
The cameras are collapsible, so that they fold flat and may be conveniently carried in a suit case.
The Price
No. 2. Brownie Enlarging Camera, for 5 x 7 enlargements from 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 negatives $2.00 No. 3. Ditto, for 6-1/2 x 8-1/2 enlargements from 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 negatives 3.00 No. 4. Ditto, for 8 x 10 enlargements from 4 x 5 negatives (will also take 3-1/4 x 5-1/2 negatives) 4.00
V. P. Kodak Enlarging Camera
This is made upon exactly the same principle as the Brownie Enlarging Camera, excepting that being small in itself, it is not made collapsible.
It offers the simplest means for making 3-1/4 x 5-1/2 enlargements from 1-5/8 x 2-1/2 negatives.
The Price
Vest Pocket Kodak Enlarging Camera $1.75
Brownie Enlarging Camera Illuminator
In enlarging with the Brownie or Vest Pocket Kodak Enlarging Camera, the exposure may be made by daylight, but to accommodate those who wish to do their enlarging at night or who prefer to use artificial light at all times we have devised the Brownie Enlarging Camera Illuminator, which assures the user a uniformly strong, even light, day or night. It is simply constructed, and moderate in price.
The illuminator is collapsible, but when set up, has the form of a half-round, light-proof box with socket through which is inserted an electric light bulb.
The inner walls of this box are white and act as a reflector when the light is turned on. At the end is a ground glass, which diffuses the light, so that by placing negative end of the enlarging camera in contact with this glass and turning on the electricity, an excellent steady printing light is obtained.
The glass is provided with a hinged protector of ruby cloth, which may be closed as soon as the exposure is completed, and the illuminator then becomes a perfect lamp for the developing and subsequent operations with the enlargement. Complete instructions for use are included with each outfit, and anyone who has electric light in the house will find it invaluable for enlarging purposes.
Brownie Enlarging Camera Illuminator, $3.50.
The Kodiopticon
The Kodiopticon opens a new use--a new pleasure in his negatives, for the amateur photographer. For it enables anyone who has electricity in his house, to show sharp, well-illuminated lantern slide projections without difficulty and at small expense.
The Kodiopticon is substantially made, and operated with an ordinary Mazda electric lamp, at a distance of 10 feet from the sheet, will project images of about 36 inches. A larger image may be secured by setting the Kodiopticon a greater distance away, but the greater the distance the less the illumination. Can also be furnished with an electric arc lamp, when it can be used at 12 feet, with the maximum illumination, projecting an image of about 42 inches.
The Kodiopticon has a water jacket for protection of the slides from heat, and the price includes a strong wooden case, which, by reversing the top, serves as a permanent stand for the outfit.
The Price
Kodiopticon, complete with Mazda Lamp $25.00 Ditto, with Hand-feed Arc Lamp and 4 ampere Rheostat, accommodating 110 volts 40.00 Ditto, accommodating 220 volts 42.00 100 Watt Mazda (Tungsten) Lamp, Concentrated Filament 3.50 Eastman Portable Background Carrier 3.00 Eastman Portable Background, plain, 4 x 5 feet 1.50 Lantern Slide Plates, 3-1/4 x 4, per dozen .45 Lantern Slide Cover Glass, per dozen .20 Lantern Slide Binders, per package 50 strips .10 Velox Lantern Slide Films, 2-3/4 x 3-1/4, per dozen .30 Velox Lantern Slide Frames, per dozen .25 Velox Lantern Slide Mats, 2-7/8 x 3-5/16, per 2 dozen .05 Nepera Solution, for developing Velox L. S. Films, 4-ounce bottle .20 Lantern Slide Film Varnish, 4-ounce bottle .25
Velox Transparent Water Color Stamps
An interesting and highly enjoyable diversion for the amateur photographer is the coloring of prints. And those who use the Kodiopticon will find that many slides are greatly improved by the addition of color. While actual color photography is by no means practical for general amateur use, anyone can make beautifully colored prints by the use of Velox Transparent Water Color Stamps.
No special artistic skill, no knowledge of painting whatever is necessary. Just a brush or two and the book of stamps, which includes simple directions for coloring both prints and lantern slides.
Each book includes twelve sheets of colors and each sheet is divided by perforations into twenty-two stamps. To use any color merely tear off a stamp, place in a small saucer or palette supplied with the outfit, and cover with about a teaspoonful of water.
The Velox Transparent Water Color Stamp Outfit offers the greatest convenience in coloring prints, as it includes the book of stamps, three brushes and a white enameled mixing palette, put up in a neat cardboard case.
Velox Transparent Water Color Stamps, complete booklet, 12 colors $0.25 Separate Color Leaves, two sheets .05 Set of 3 Special Brushes, per set .50 Mixing Palette .25 Velox Transparent Water Color Stamp Outfit, including book, three brushes and palette .75
Kodak Film Tank
Development, that former bugbear of the amateur photographer and especially of the beginner, is made a simple proposition by the Kodak Film Tank--fully as simple as any part of the photographic process.
The Kodak Film Tank automatically develops every roll of film put into it, just as well as that roll of film could be developed by the most experienced photographer. If directions are followed, if the chemicals are mixed and the temperature regulated according to instructions, a boy or girl can get just as good results from the Kodak Film Tank as an expert by any method.
In other words, every roll of film put into the film tank, where the simple directions are implicitly followed, will come out developed as well, or better, than that roll of film could be developed in the dark room by the most experienced photographer. And it is very simple, it eliminates the dark room entirely, developing the film in broad daylight, and is so compact as to be easily carried and used anywhere.
The Kodak Film Tank consists of a winding box, a light-proof apron, and a heavily nickeled brass solution cup with cover. In the Brownie Film Tank, however, no cover is necessary as the film roll itself is turned. All articles can be packed in the box, making the entire outfit self-contained.
The film to be developed is placed upon a reel in the winding box, the cover is placed on the box and the film is wound around an axis in combination with the apron, in such fashion that, when completely wound, the apron protects the film effectually from light, and may be removed from the winding box safely at any time. It is then lowered into the cup of developer, the cover attached and the film left to develop for twenty minutes. After development the film is removed for fixing.
Every step is performed in daylight and the exact time necessary for development, in combination with the chemical formula, has been scientifically worked out, so that all differences of exposure within reasonable bounds are taken care of. Especial attention is called to the new 2-1/2-inch size, for the development of 1A or 2A films.
Those who wish to develop more than one roll at a time can do so without purchasing extra tanks complete, by securing duplicating outfits as listed below.

No. 2 Brownie Developing Box
Offering the same assurance of perfectly developed film as the Kodak Film Tank, the Brownie Developing Box is a modified form of the same, so simple to use that any boy or girl can readily understand and operate it.
It consists of a metal box with cover, just long enough to accommodate a roll of No. 1 or No. 2 Brownie Film in one loop.
To develop, the roll of film is inserted in the spool carrier, and by means of a cord and winding shaft the film is unrolled and carried around a roller bearing, thus exposing the film to the action of the developer.
Before unrolling the film the developer is poured in the box and the cover put in place; all these operations being performed in daylight. The film is then unrolled by turning the crank, when the box is rocked on its standard for six minutes. The developer is then poured off and box filled with water to wash out developer, after which film is removed and fixed in daylight.
This is an excellent means, for those who have No. 1 or No. 2 Brownie Cameras, of developing their films without the need of skill or experience.

No. 2 Brownie Developing Box $1.00 Brownie Developing Box Powders, per package of 6 .15 Kodak Acid Fixing Powders, 1/2-pound package .15 Ditto, 1/4-pound package .10
Eastman Plate Tank
What the film tank has done for films, the plate tank does for plates. The idea of the two tanks is based upon the same time and temperature system of development, with, of course, such differences in actual construction of the tanks as are required by the physical differences between films and plates. And as plates must be unloaded in a dark room, the plate tank cannot offer the advantage of daylight quite all the way, but it takes only a few moments in the dark room to load this tank, after which it may be brought out into any light for development.
The device consists of a metal solution cup with cover, a cage for holding 12 or less plates, and a loading fixture for loading the plates in the cage.
The exposed plates are loaded into the cage and placed in the tank, which has been filled with developer, in the dark room and the tank cover fastened in place. On the front of the tank is a dial for registering time. Development is allowed to continue for fifteen minutes, the tank being reversed several times. After development the developer is washed out of the plates, and the fixing bath poured into the tank, after which the plates are ready for washing in the usual manner.
