BEGAN With BORROWED $50
NOW have TWO BIC PLANTS

That America is still just as full
OF wonderful possibilities for the
young man OF ideas and pluck is once
again demonstrated in the lives Of
Louis and Manuel Mandel, inventors
of Chicago. Their story is a story
of achievement, of help and inspir-
alton to every young man who feels
that he hasn't had a chance"
Nine years ago, these young men
were working at odd jobs of day
labor on the great west side OF Chi
cago. They were like thousands Of
other workers with whom they were
associated, except that they had
ideas.
Their big idea came while watching
a street "hawker" take pictures of
passersby with the aid of the old
fashioned tintype camera The
thought came to them that If a
camera could be developed that
would take q picture and return the
finished photo instantly, what won
derful field it would have.
And so with this vague idea and with
no money aside from their meager day
wage, which was as uncertain as 1t was
small these bows began their work,
They made a camera that would take a
picture and return the finished photo
instantly Again the thought was sug-
gested. "Why not manufacture the CAM
era 2" But they had no money. Finally
however. they found a friend who would
venture $50 on the project. With this
start thev began business.
That was nine years ago. Today the
Mandels have two large plants which
are marvels of efficiency. They employ
over 500 people and their camera is in
use in all parts of the world Their
model plant Mt Latin and Congress
streets on Chicago's great west side, is
n second Melrose Park.
Day after day the Mandels are at
work improving and working out
ideas. About two years ago they sue
ceeded in perfecting a Photographic
paper. which takes the picture and
returns the finished photo in one min.
ute and the work equals the finest
nortrait work. This idea has revolu-
tionize dhome photography The pub
lie has received this camera with
omen arms and the factory today can
not begin to Ill the demands.
. Some time ago the Mandels decided
that the phonograph could be i'm
proved. They set TO work and per
fected phonograph that is one oi
the finest made.
one of the many distinct improve
ments is that it plays all makes o
records without any attachment. Bu
perhaps the most important OF all il
ihst their phonograph can be made
and sold for one half the price o
other makers.
