History- (from Wikipedia) Eastman Kodak was best known for its wide range of photographic film products. During most of the 20th century Kodak held a dominant position in photographic film, and in 1976 had a 90% market share of photographic film sales in the United States. The company's reach was so powerful that "Kodak moment" entered common language as an event that demanded to be recorded for posterity. Despite its dominance of the film market Eastman Kodak keep the ads coming in the post-war era.
Condition- This ad is in excellent condition with a small tear in the right edge.
I live in Porters Lake but go into Halifax/Dartmouth once a week to meet buyers. See the link to my other ads in the upper right corner for more great ads, magazines, and books. I have several other ads that are not yet listed. Let me know if you’re looking for a specific subject or company.
