Give Your Boy Scout a Brownie, 1924

Screenshot 2024-02-12 12.56.33 PMIf you were in the market for a gift for your Boy Scout a hundred years ago to celebrate the anniversary of the BSA, you couldn’t go wrong by getting him a Brownie camera from the Eastman Kodak Company. And if you were in Omaha, the place to get it would be the Kodak counter of the Robert Dempster Co., 1813 Farnam Street, as seen in this ad from the February 13, 1924, issue of the Omaha Bee.
