Description
Black and white 9″ x 12 1/2″ ad for their Home Movie Cameras, Magazine Cine-Kodak and Cine-Kodak “K”. The ad has a picture of a baby in diapers stealthily approaching a wary cat from behind and the headline asks “Could anything but a movie camera do him justice?”. I have a feeling that the “Bad Hair Day” this child is having will be nothing compared with the wrong turn his or her day will take once contact is made with the cat. The text describes how a dynamo of energy that a young child is will never be captured with a set of still pictures. The ad has a picture that shows both of the movie cameras mentioned in the ad and gives information about their capabilities and mentions prices of $112.50 for the Cine-Kodak “K” and $137.50 for the Magazine Cine-Kodak. The ad talks about how the magazine will load in 3 seconds and mentions that both of these cameras were 16 mm.
