1,500 CAMERAS A DAY
TARIFF BENEFITS BRITISH WORKERS ‘ Some Idea of the way a tariff can operate to benefit British industry and British work-people was revealed on Thursday to visitors to the annual Kodak international salon of photography at Harrow,” states the Burton “Evening Gazette.” “A duty of 33 1-3 per cent. is imposed on all cameras imported into England, a fact which has meant that instead of England being flooded with cameras from America and the Continent, the Kodak Company lias built at Marrow a factory keeping 2,000 British men and women in regular employment. “The factory has a daily output of 1,500 cameras, 400,000 a year being sold in Great Britain alone. Besides the instruments themselves, over 200 different varieties of photographic papers are made in the factory, which is equipped with a developing and printing building, and which is also the largest of its kind in Europe.*’
