From the Mariposa Gazette, May 24, 1924

"Down on the college campus at Palo Alto in the middle nineties an inter-class rush was held.
On the side
lines stood a youth, a member of the class of ’97, with a small
vest pocket Kodak.
It had cost him $5 and it took a picture 1 ½ by
3 inches in dimensions. The young amateur had a pretty busy time of
it taking snapshots and changing film rolls. When the rush was over
and bruises were being counted the student began developing his
films. He found that he had secured a set of sixty-four snapshots of
all sorts, every one of them good. There was a big demand for those
pictures among the other students and the enterprising Kodak sharp
sold over $100 worth of the snapshots all printed by his own hand."
