It Is Vacation
And Kodak Time
Vacation time is here—the time when all men and women desire to forget the dull cares of
business and social life and disappear in the forests, along the mountain streams; or else
spend a few days at the beach where the cool sea breezes add health and vigor to those
who are seeking rest and recuperation.
Take a Kodak With You
There is nothing like it for fun and the results will be a number of life-like pictures of your
trip that will be enjoyed during the coming years. We have a fine line priced at from

Don’t forget to take plenty of films. If you get into the smaller coast, or mountain towns
most likely you will be unable to get them.
Suit Cases, Hand and Traveling Bags
Vacation time always demands a suit case, traveling bags and hand bags. Don’t forget
this fact when you arrange for your pleasure trip. We have an exceptionally well selected
