Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for the fact that giving a Cine-Kodak Eight Movie Camera would make a great Christmas gift this year. There is a picture of a Model 20 camera with a light-colored ribbon wrapped around it and tied into a bow with the headline urging you to “Make it the BIG gift this Christmas”. The text gives some relative costs for using this item talking about getting a “complete movie scene for a dime or less” and explaining that “a scene runs as long on your screen as the average newsreel shot”. It mentions the general price of a roll of black and white film and reminds you that this film does NOT have to be developed before you show it back. It also mentions that beside the Model 20 shown in this ad Kodak also made a Magazine Cine-Kodak Eight for $97.50.
