WHAT'S THIS
ABOUT “SPEED"
IN FILMS?
"Speed" in a ilm means that you can take very short exposures and still got good plucky pictures. This is important when you wish to take moving objects. "Speed" also means that you can use your camera on dull daya as well as runny once- and this is important nearly all the year round. Kodak Film is "Speedy." But you must be warned that some-
times a film excellent for "speedi- ness is apt to be exacting, doesn't take kindly to being over-exposed turns black and nasty. There is none of this churlishness about Kodak Film. Kodak Film is fast but not fussy. It really isn't worth while taking any chances. Everybody sells Kodak Film, so why
not have it?
