They are an utterly new version of the Kodak. They have, too, that sublime virtue of being in the latest mode and at the same time being distinctly individual.
Notice particularly the fascinating cases of the Vanity Kodak’s. The design was created by one of America’s leading artists, who has contrived to give the case an intrinsic beauty of its own.
Even before one snaps a picture, one carries a new and intriguing detail of custom-accessory exquisitely in key with the current trend toward color and novelty.
As a gift, the Vanity Kodak possesses a delightful freshness of appeal. The smart girl graduate of cosmopolitan taste welcomes it as a rare combination of utility and sophistication.
The super-chic bride earns the undying gratitude of her bridesmaids with such a token as this, and if she herself finds one of them among her gifts she will yield at once to the alluring thought of carrying it on the honeymoon.
But who could blame any up-to-date woman for succumbing to the charm of these superlative creations...who could blame her for a hint or two just before her birthday ?
Visit your dealer at once and see these new Kodak’s of transcendent smartness. On sale June 1st, in five colors ...Redbreast ...Bluebird ...Cockatoo ...Sea Gull ...Jenny Wren.
