KODAKS SIMPLICITY is the keynote of Kodak photography—that explains why nearly everyone who uses a camera prefers to use a Kodak: indeed you must have a Kodak if you wish to be independent of the darkroom from start to finish, because no other system adds to daylight loading and unloading the certainty, simplicity and comfort of Kodak daylight development. The simplicity of the Kodak method is set forth in the beautifully illustrated KODAK BOOK, which will be sent free to anybody naming this magazine. Kodak, Ltd. 57/61, Cheltenwell Road, London, E.C.

KODAKS CAN BE OBTAINED OF ALL THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHIC DEALERS. --- The ROYAL COPENHAGEN PORCELAIN BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY QUEEN ALEXANDRA. The specialty of the works is painting under glaze on the “bisque.” The painted porcelain is fired at a very high temperature, which limits the number of colours applicable to a very small one, this however being considered rather an advantage as to the artistic value of the ware. Many pieces are “unique,” only one piece being made and signed by the artists, and such decorations never duplicated. 2 OLD BOND STREET, LONDON, W. AD. V

The strength of a fleet lies in the efficiency of the vessels ready for action. Battles are won by the ships in the fighting line, not by units in the dry-dock. As in fighting, so in writing; the ability to cope with the exacting claims of correspondence depends not on the numerous pens you may have at the repairers, but on the efficiency of the pen you have in your hand. Waterman's Ideal is the simplest and most efficient fountain pen made, and it is always in the fighting line, ready for instant and effective service in the interests of its owner.
