PAGE 316 HOME MOVIES FOR AUGUST A Camera Fan is MADE... not born! Most beautiful picture ever made? Bob's mother insists it is. Bob himself thinks differently, but Mom's prejudiced because it's the first snapshot he ever made — and he chose to make it of her! It was taken with a Universal . . . one that Bob bought out of his allowance. J Mother tried to throw this One OUt . . . it embarrassed her so. Bob already had the "candid" idea . . . thanks to Universal. For even then Universal was ahead of the field, with a candid-type camera at a price so low that thousands of youngsters could afford it! Bob Says this one is the most beautiful picture ever made. It's the last one he took of his mother just before entering the Navy. Also made with a Universal . . . the Mercury he got when he graduated from college. Bob carries this picture with him everywhere. Bob's using Universal Navy binoculars now — for Universal's at war too, making military optical instruments instead of cameras. But Bob took his Mercury with him, because it stops action up to 1/1500 of a second. He's made some great shots in his spare time. The war Will end... and when Bob comes back, a home and family of his own will redouble his interest in photography . And what a camera his postwar Universal will be! Universal will be ready with a great new series of precision cameras and photographic equipment. He'll find fast action a "snap" to stop. Yet his camera will be simple, inexpensive, easy to handle . . . thanks to Universal's pioneering of new methods in mass-producing precision military optical instruments. Expect YOUR next camera to be a Universal! Re:::cn;ber: One photograph from home is north a thousand words to a Serviceman
