M. and L. Mandel, of Chicago. Ill., has caused to be opened a new money-making Industry. The ‘Mandel’ Post Card Machine is designed for making photo graphs directly on the post cards without using plates, films, printing or dark-room. This wonderful machine is a ‘portable post card gallery,’ and embodies every principle that is needed to produce perfect post card photugraphs almost instantaneously.’’ As stated at the beginning of this article, we, ourselves, have had occasion to give edi torial comment to the achievements of these tw: ploneers of the new industry, Sut of late, sewer discoveries and inventions in rapid pho tography have been brought forcibly to our attention because of the world-wide interest that these discoverera have created, A clever writer on the editorial staff of the Opportunity Magazine a publication that ts clreulated throughout this country, made the L. MANDEL et of One Minute Post Card Photography e Dasis for an interesting article which appears in the March, 1913, edition of the Op portunity Magazine, To quote extracts from “Tb Robert K. Hackett’s interesting article: — on time I had the possibilities of the Sater © Minute Photography actually shoved _s u y hose was last June.

A few years ago, in an obscure room of a large Chicago office building, these two inventors were spending their time in the first stages of their business career, by manufac turing photo button cameras, The tremendous success which they achieved with the Wonder Automatic and Wonder Cannon Photo Button macSines laid the foundation for their ultimate success in perfecting their process of instant ancous post card photography. Their busines« has grown with rapid strides until now a large factory building is devoted exclusively to the wanufaeturing of the photo machines that bear their name. In addition, they have a large plant covering an area of eleven thousand Square feet of floor space, and in this factors is manufactured the ‘‘Mandel’’ Positive Process lost Cards, the cards that are used in the ““Mandel’’ Post Card Machines. With the ‘‘Mandel’’ Post Card Machine and the ‘‘Mandel’’ Positive Post Cards, any person of average ability is enabled to make photo graphs without the necessity of using plates films, printing or dark-room. The advantage of making photographs by so simple a process can be greatly appreciated by thuse who have ever used cameras. Although the Post Card Machine and the positiv process of photography may be used a* a source of great enjoyment for those who desire to make photographs the new way this apparatus is intended primarily for those men who desire to engage in a business for themselves, one that requires no knowledge of photography or experience, and a business that euyone can go into on a small capital, where his success will be almost immediate and absolutely certain. To this class of men _ this pest card machine will appeal. The machine itself measures 9'4x14% inches by 7% inches, and the weight is about seven pounds, Its capacity is,one hundred large mest cards, one hundred small post cards and fifty photo buttons—the triple combination holder allowing the use of either of the thre« sizes of pictures at one’s pleasure. The post cards and buttons can be loaded into the machine in broad daylight, and this makes it possible for the operator to reload his machine in the fraction of a second and without using a dark-room. The post card ma chine has been aptly termed a complete, porta ble post card gallery, because the entire out fit can be carried in one hand, and when it is filled with supplies, it weighs no more than a half-filled suitcase. The machine is free from all Intricate and cumbersome mechanism. and the simplicity of its operation is pointed to with great pride by the inventors An interesting story of just what can be done with one of these machines comes from Mr. A. L. Wood. of Haver, Montana A short time ago, Wood, who is an engineer by trade was making a salary of $125 a month i was attracted by an advertisement of the ‘“‘Mandel'’ Post Card Machine. and, become imprest with the large in thig new industry. he ordered a machine yut in his shift from 1! to 7 In the power house where he worked at night. aml he went out during the day with the post card ma chine, After he had demonstrated to his own satifaction that he conld make three times the amount of money as a post card photographer as could be made as an envineer, he gave up his position, and is new devoting his entire time to the work as a one-minute photographer Huncreds of similar examples could be cited, showing the enermous possibilities that this new process of one-minute photography holds out for ambitious men and women. In one minute photograpny we have «a new industry that has eprung up over night. as it were, ready-made business that places opportunity fer money-inaking into the hands of those who possibly never had oppertunity before. It gives to ambitions aml energetic men and women with limited means and who have had absolutely no experience in any particular profession or calling the means of making more money than they «ver thought they were capable of earning It is an interesting sight to see how the crowds fairly swarm around the eperator of the ‘‘Mandel’’ Post Card Machine. In this crowd ose always hears the expres sions of satisfaction and of wonder as the subjects being photographed look at their fin isht pictures which the operator hands t© them almost as anickly as he presses the bulb. The greatest advantage that the ‘*Mandel” Photo Post Card Machine gives to the vperatérs of these machines is that the expense of maintaining a business extablishment is entirely done away with. There are no profits to di vide with a landlerd, no light bills to pay, nor any of the other Incidental expenses that go towards the maintenance of a photo studio. His machine ts hie workshop. bis dark-room. his “complete, portable post card gallery,” and every dollar that he earns belongs to him alone—he pockets bis profits In full No place is closed to the Mandel Portable Post Card Gallery man. Wis money-making field is everywhere, whether it is on the street corner or at the plenic. at fairs. or carnivals, street perades or conventions—he finds everywhere a ready market for his one-minute post cards.
