that Shaw pay $500 and that this settle

PHOTOGRAPHY
REvOlUT|ONIzEO
BY new INVENTION
Films, Plates and
Dark Room Made
Unnecessary
New Camera Takes
Finished Pictures
in Two Minutes

Mr.. Edmond f. Stratton, of New
York city, has invented a camera
that takes and completes pictures
ready to see in two minutes. 1t
does away with the expense of
buying films or plates and the
trouble, expense and delay of hav-
ing them developed and pictures
printed by photographer. The
camera has fixed focus lens and
there is no delicate focusing me-
chanism to get out of order or
for you to learn to operate.
This camera, which is called
the Gordon Camera, is being man
ufactured by the Gordon Camera
Company, 1866 Stuyvesant build
ing, New York, N. Y. AS they are
DESTROYS of making it known in
every locality, they are making a
special offer to the public. For
limited time they will sell mod
els A. B. and G at half price. The
regular price of Model A, which
takes pictures 2ax31 Y inches, is
So, but 1t will cost only $3.50.
Model B Irregular price 800,
which takes pictures 8 Ax5 " in
ches, will cost only IS, while
Model G Irregular price $50
which takes both sizes, will cost
only $3.50. Whichever one you
order, enclose 80 cents additional
to cover parcel post, extra sensi-
tized cards and extra developing
powders.
The sensitized cards are wrap
ped for daylight loading, and the
powders make the developing So
luton to be put into the develop
ing tank, which is inside the
camera. Model A is 5xS IKE
inches in size, and weighs 2 lbs.
ozs. Model B--6x9x10 inches,
weight 2 lbs. IA ozs. Model c.
9x9x10 inches, weight, 8 lbs. 7
oZs.
The cost of taking pictures with
the Gordon camera is almost
nothing in comparison to all 9TH
er cameras. Extra sensitized
cards t2kx31s) can be bought
for / 1-2 cents each (3Hx512 for
cents) and 10 cents worth of
developer will develop 40 pictures.
The Gordon Company sells flash
light lamps for 80 cents, which
will enable you to take pictures at
night in your own parlor.
The operation of this new cam
era is SO simple that any little
boy or girl can easily take pic
lures with it after reading the di-
rections sent with each one. When
ordering a camera under this spe-
cial offer be sure to mention
that you are a reader of The Ia
coma Times.
