It then says that the “Now Kodak brings you a Brownie Camera that’s not only easy – it’s automatic!. It takes both beautiful snapshots and sparkling color slides. All that you do is aim and shoot! Shoot in the sun, shoot in the shade – even indoors by a window! The electric eye measures the light, and sets the lens for picture-perfect results every time! And the lens is always in focus – even as close-up as 4 feet – so you get 12 sharp pictures on every roll of film. See this great new camera demonstrated at your Kodak dealer’s now. It’s yours for as little as $3.50 down”. It shows a full price of $34.50 for this camera.
