CRISSMAN DRUG STORE GIVES AWAY KODAKS

The Crissman Drug Store gave away 12 Eastman Kodaks to boys and girls whose twelfth birthday occurred this year. The first twelve children at the store on a certain date accompanied by one of their parents received the prizes.

The Eastman Kodak company distributed 500,000 kodaks to their dealers throughout the United States to be given away as gifts in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the company. The rules were that these kodaks were to be given to the boys and girls who were 12 years of age in 1930 and each child was to be accompanied to the store by one of his or her parents.

Alden Berner was the first one at the drug store, arriving at 5:55 a. m. The others receiving kodaks were: Betty Moritz, Grace Hawkins, Bobby Childers, Lee Bell, Stanley Aldridge, Alice Engler, Maire Archer, Rose Rahrick, Loren Caborn, Parke Woodworth and Helen Sinkler.
