Graflex ad in June 1944 issue of Popular Photogaphy
Toronto. WW2 was winding down the summer of 1944 and would end in Allied victory the following spring/summer.
Graflex gave a novel twist to the war effort and the American fighting men suggesting the average American was Part-Owner of cameras his government purchased for use in the war.
Further, that the average American could become a sole owner of a Graflex after the end of the war, buying it with the proceeds of no longer needed war bonds!
Once again, please give a big thank you to my friend and fellow photography historian for sharing this find with us.
Note: the title of this post is a riff on a 1970s book I enjoyed many years ago called, “Summer of ’42“
