Abstract:

In 1930, Kodak celebrated it's Centennial. Because it was the depression, the company decided to include the children of Rochester, New York, in the celebration. Any child could go to his or her local dealer and receive a box camera and a roll of film free of charge. It also proved a solid business venture as camera owners continued to be in need of fresh film.
