Has improved rotary shutter and set of three stops for lens. The slides for changing stops and for time exposures are alongside of the exposure lever and always show by their position what stop is before the lens and whether the shutter is set for time or instantaneous exposures, thus acting as a warning. In the _quality_ of the work they will do, Pocket Kodaks equal the best cameras on the market. They make negatives of such perfect quality that enlargements of any size can be made from them. The Pocket Kodaks are covered with fine leather, and the trimmings are handsomely finished and lacquered. They are elegant, artistic, and durable. =For one more subscription we will send with this camera a bicycle carrying-case= * * * * * TO ANY ONE SENDING US 9 NEW SUBSCRIBERS [Illustration: An Improved =No. 4= Bulls-Eye For pictures 4x5 inches; delivered ready for 12 exposures without reloading.
