  in leather. To take a picture all you had to do
  was hold at waist height, aim and turn a switch.
  Even though it was so simple to use, an
  instruction booklet was included that was 44
  pages long. This camera was only 1.00 each and
  film was only 15 cents. To develop, all a person
  had to do was send the camera to the company an
  they would develop, fill your camera with film,
  and send your camera and your pictures back to
  you. With the invention of this simple, hand-held
  camera anyone, anywhere, at any time could take a
