Fun Facts:
Some Kodak cameras, like the Brownie Bullet, were described as "premium". These are cameras that were not normal retail items, but used for promotional purposes often by third-party companies to encourage customers to take advantage of their goods or services. This illustrates marketing genius on Kodak's part. A third-party company benefits by selling their own product,
the customer gets a free camera, and Kodak gains a new customer that will buy their film and process it!
