The PHOTOSTAT-An Investment

(Trade Mark Registered)

Equitable Life Assurance Society of the U. S., New York City, says:

"For years we have used four Photostats for copying important documents, signatures, and original papers where exact reproduction with speed was essential. The result has been a saving of an immense amount of labor and incalculable time.

"An average of 500 Applications a day are copied, as required by law, practically while the policies are being written. No possibility of error exists, and the cost per application is about 3 cents.

"Two of the Photostats make 900 photographs a day of the History Cards, which contain a history and description of our policy contracts and must likewise be error proof, as large payments are based upon this data.'

[ocr errors]

The Photostat, which is manufactured by the Eastman Kodak Co., is a combined camera and copying machine. The copy is made directly onto a roll of paper. No intermediate glass plate or film or other negative has to be made. By copying thus directly onto the paper, the copy is made very quickly and at a low cost. Also the copy is a facsimile of the original, so that there can be no mistake in it. The print is developed and fixed right in the apparatus itself: this part of the process, as well as the focusing and exposing, all being mechanical. The print is then removed to a tank of running water in which it is washed free from chemicals. Finally the print is taken from the water

and dried and is then ready for use. The whole process is a rapid one, the average speed per print being from one to five minutes.

The PHOTOSTAT is used to copy at actual size, in reduction, or in enlargement;

In Banks and Offices: Reports, Cost Sheets, Vouchers, Accountings, Wills, Contracts, Testimonial Letters, Pages from Books;

In Factories and Machine Shops: Blue Prints, Shop Orders, Sketches, Pencil Drawings, Tracings, Illustrations for Salesmen, Cuts and Drawings for Patent Work;

By Public Service Corporations: Reports for Directors, Insurance Papers, Tariffs, Way Bills, Claims, Traffic Reports, Conductors' Sheets, and Certified Copies of Records.

SARATOGA MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER

S

Since the springs were acquired by the State the scenic and other attractions
have undergone a wonderful transformation

ARATOGA SPRINGS, one of the
far-famed watering places of the
world, is attracting more pleasure
seekers than ever before owing to the
fact that the European spas are closed to
Americans and other
travelers during the
war. The springs,
having been the prop-
erty of the State since
1909, are being care-
fully conserved and
made more accessible
to the public.

The area controlled by the State contains about 450 acres of land

and upon this property are 122 natural springs and wells. These waters are naturally mineralized and carbonated, qualities which have made Saratoga celebrated throughout the world for its healing properties.

Visitors are increasing

other watering place. Old springs, well known in their day, which had ceased to flow, have been revived under the scientific management of the State conservation commission which is in direct control. Old Congress spring, known for more than a century, is one of these which for a time was supposed to be extinct.

It has been brought back to life by the State government and is one of the most efficacious in the reservation.

Not merely do the healing waters attract people from all over the continent and the old world, but the constantly increasing beauty of the scenery serves as a magnet during the summer months. Saratoga is wonderfully located as a center from which tours may be taken into the adjoining Adirondack mountains of New York and the Green mountains of Vermont, through the center of which runs historic Lake Champlain. All through the Lake George and Lake Champlain regions, magnificent in

Long before the white man knew of the healing
springs, the Indians benefited from them

Every year since the State acquired the springs, Saratoga has grown more beautiful and people throughout this country and the world are beginning to know that it offers more to health and pleasure seekers than any
