PREMOETTE JR. SPECIAL
So compact, so generally desirable is the Premoette Jr. that there are many amateurs among the more serious, particular workers, who have wished for a camera of the same type with the very maximum of photographic efficiency.
For the average amateur the regular Premoette Junior will be found eminently satisfactory, but for those who insist upon the best to be had, who demand a camera capable of making good pictures under all conditions where pictures could possibly be made, the Premoette Jr. Special is a revelation.
Here is a camera with the light weight and compactness, the ease of loading and operating of the original Premoette Jr., but with an equipment which places it on a par in capabilities, with the largest, most expensive amateur cameras made.
It is fitted with the Compound shutter with cable release, attaining a maximum speed of 1/300 of a second in the No. 1 and 1/250 in the No. 1A size and the Zeiss Kodak Anastigmat lens f.6.3. This lens was made expressly for hand camera work and combines depth, definition and speed to a remarkable degree. This equipment enables one to work under adverse conditions that the ordinarily equipped camera could not meet as, for instance snap shot work in dull lights, fast indoor portraiture, and the like. And the remarkable sharpness and depth of the negatives make them suitable for enlarging up to any size desired.
Either size can be carried in any pocket or in a lady's hand-bag. Thus, however cramped for room, one may be certain he can take along a Premoette Jr., and make as good pictures of anything he cares about, as can be made with any camera.
Aside from the difference in size, the two models are practically identical. Focusing is provided for by a series of three focusing slots in which the standard is inserted as occasion requires. The focusing block on the No. 1 folds over to permit closing the camera; in the No. 1A this is not necessary.
In keeping with its high grade equipment, we have finished this camera in the best possible manner. It is covered with genuine Persian Morocco, and the bellows is of the finest quality black leather, giving it a rich, attractive appearance.
In a word, this is the finest, most capable, handsomest small camera you ever saw—a marvel of compactness and efficiency.

FILM PREMO No. 1
The Film Premos are designed for those who want reliable, simply operated cameras for all-around amateur photographic work.
They are designed to be as convenient and easy of manipulation as possible, and without reference to the requirements of the specialists, are fitted only with the simple adjustments sufficient to enable the average photographer, whether experienced or not, to secure good pictures under all ordinary conditions.
Working with this idea in mind, we are able to offer these cameras not only at moderate prices, but for compactness and light weight, for ease of loading and unloading, the Film Premos have a considerable margin over any other type of cameras. This fact may be easily verified by comparative weights and dimensions and investigation of the Premo Film Pack system used in this camera. (See page 4).
As convenient and low priced as these cameras are however, the very first consideration in their construction has been the quality of results which must be produced. And the lens and shutter equipment and the film used in this camera offer the assurance that the Film Premos will produce as good pictures as any camera that can be purchased, aside from those fitted with anastigmat lenses.
The shutter of the Film Premo No. 1 is the Kodak Ball Bearing with bulb release—the finest type of the single valve shutter, and the regular lens is our celebrated Planatograph, each one thoroughly tested. This equipment is the best to be had outside of the anastigmats and is amply efficient for the general run of amateur photography. The film used in the Premo Film Pack is from the same stock as the Eastman N. C.—the best in the world.
In addition to the double lens fittings these cameras are also offered with single meniscus achromatic lenses for those who prefer compact folding cameras requiring but little adjustment of focus for objects at different distances.
Film Premos No. 1 are very attractive in appearance; they are made of seasoned wood, with bed and back panel of aluminum, covered with seal grain leather, and metal parts are beautifully nickeled.
