Trade Notes

[Manufacturers and dealers in photographic goods and supplies are urged to send us descriptive circulars of their new products for presentation in this department.-THE EDITORS.]

The Tourist Magazine, of New York City, writes as follows in regard to Photographing in Old England: "This is a book brimful of illustrations from photographs taken from all parts of England, Scotland, and Wales. It is a descriptive volume of the very highest class of all points of interest, and contains many most unusual illustrations from photographs. In fact it is the most unique work of its kind which has ever been published, a great credit to the author, and is well worth a place in the library of a connoisseur."

"No praise is too high for the reproduction of these photographs, which show the artist in every line," says the San Francisco Chronicle, of the same handsome book.

Gives practical advice as to outfit, developing facilities, and choice of view. Excellent is the counsel that prints should be ruthlessly trimmed until they come into some sort of compositional unity.

-The N. Y. Evening Post.

A delightful record of the charm of Old England, accompanied by photographs remarkable for their beauty, and for the exquisite reproductions here given.

-Publishers Weekly.

For simplicity, ease and excellent results the superiority of the developing tank cannot be questioned.

The Prize Reversible Developing Tank, a new model of unique construction, develops twelve or less plates with equal facility and requires a minimum quantity of solution. The lid which is furnished with a rubber pad, clamps down securely

over the top of the tank by means of catches at the side which have considerable leverage power, this permits of reversing the tank or placing it in any position with no fear of leakage. Its handsome appearance and sound construction of solid brass polished, then nickel plated, are gaining for it a well deserved popularity.

This tank is of special interest to both professional and amateurs as the plate rack, in all its sizes, has an adjustable set of grooves which make it possible to use any size for different sizes of plates.

Any one contemplating purchasing a tank should send to G. Gennert, 24-26 East 13th street, New York, or 16-20 State street, Chicago, for their booklet "On Developing Tanks," it contains a full description of all the models made by them.

Don't forget, when printing from your vacation or summer negatives the possibilities of the redevelopment of Velox prints in a Sepia tone. Velox Redeveloper is ready made in convenient form and sold by all dealers. The grade especially suited for Sepia tones is Royal Velox, which is coated in a delicate buff colored stock and produces either blacks or sepia. A brilliance is added to the prints if rubbed over with the waxing solution (prepared) and a piece of Canton flannel.

The C. P. Goerz American Optical Co. announce the removal of their offices and factory to 317-323 East 34th Street. We have no doubt but that this centrally located position will be a benefit and permit them to better serve their ever increasing customers.

REDEVELOPED VELOX.

When printing up your summer negatives on Velox don't forget the possibilities of making Velox sepia prints. Many of the pictures will be improved by making them sepia and the process of making sepia prints by redevelopment is simple, quick and interesting.

Velox Redeveloper is put up in convenient form ready for use and is sold by all dealers. Full directions accompany each package.

There is one grade of Velox especially suited to Sepia tones. This grade, Royal Velox, is coated on a delicate buff colored stock and produces pleasing effects in either black or sepia tone.

A well made redeveloped print on Royal Velox cannot be surpassed for tone and quality, especially when added brilliance is given the print by waxing it after it is finished. We prepare a waxing solution which is ready to apply-just rub it over the surface of the print with a piece of canton flannel.

If you have never made sepia prints by redevelopment, the simplicity of the process will appeal to you.

Stop at the Kodak Dealer's and get some Velox Redeveloper. A thirty cent package will convert two hundred 4 x 5 Velox prints to a sepia tone. Also get some Nepera Waxing Solution, and note the increased brilliance of the waxed prints.

THE NO. 1A SPEED

focal plane shutter used in this speed Kodak and sharp negatives of rapidly moving objects, such as the fastest trains, birds on the wing, running horses, athletes in action etc. are easily secured.

The No. 1A Speed Kodak is

also excellent for slow speed, dark day snap shots not possible with ordinary shutters and for time exposures.

FLASHLIGHT.

During the winter evenings the Kodak and flash illumination offer many opportunities to record the pleasures of those evenings.

The family gathers about the table mingling in games, reading and possibly father steals a nap over the evening paper or mother dozes at her mending or knitting-all good photographic subjects.

At Christmas time if there is to be a tree for the little ones, a flash light picture of it, Chrismas eve when it is loaded with the presents and goodies for the little ones, must surely be made. Of course it may be photographed Christmas morning by daylight, but if morning is awaited there is danger of the tree having been raided before a picture can be obtained.

Good portraits are also possible by flashlight and in many cases flash illumination is superior to day light, especially if the subject is to be photographed in a favorite nook or corner, possibly at the piano or playing checkers or chess with grandfather on the reading room tableall of which are too far removed from a window to be properly lighted by daylight.

Subjects without end which will perpetuate the family associations are yours by flashlight and very little experience is required to secure excellent results by the flashlight method.

Flashlights do not necessarily need to be made in a darkened room, as the illumination of the lamps ordinarily used will not interfere, provided the light from them does not shine into the camera through the lens.

Whenever you see something you would like to picture, just set the Kodak upon a

2

tripod in a position that will shield the lens from the light and when ready to make the flash open the shutter, closing it again as soon as the flash has been made. In this way the ordinary illumination will not have had time to cause any noticeable effect on the sensitive film.

We publish a booklet on the making of flashlights in the home and this booklet may be obtained at the dealers or from us by mail. It is free for the asking and contains illustrations made by flashlight with diagrams showing the position of the Kodak, the sitter and the flash. The booklet is entitled "By Flashlight" and is interesting and instructive throughout.

To those familar with flashlight, we need only mention the two most convenient flashlight mediums-the Eastman Flash Sheet and the Eastman Spreader Flash Cartridge-both ready for use.

The Cartridge makes an instantaneous flash and is used for securing pictures of the children at play or for pictures in which a pose cannot be held.

The Flash Sheet produces a softer light and burns for a second or two and is preferable for those pictures where an instantaneous exposure is not necessary- preferable as the light is milder than the quick, bright flash of the Cartridge.

The Eastman Spreader Flash Cartridge may be used with a fuse or with the Eastman Spreader Flash Cartridge pistol.

The Eastman Flash Sheet may be pinned to white card board and ignited or used with the new Eastman Flash Sheet Holder which is ideal for the purpose. Directions for use accompany all Eastman flash materials.

Step into your Kodak dealer's, ask for a copy of "By Flashlight" or let us mail it to you. It will explain and illustrate the proper use of flash illumination for the making of pictures in the home which cannot be obtained in any other way.

On the following page we show illustrations of the new flash sheet holder, also illustrations showing the appearance of the flash sheet packages, spreader flash cartridges and cartridge pistol.
