m%. a% Are now ready 



Ray Cameras asa? 



They are the simplest Cameras on the market to 

 manipulate and one can learn to make photographs 

 quicker with the Ray and at less expense than with 

 any other Camera ever offered to the amateur. 



Seeing is believing. Ask your nearest dealer in 

 photographic supplies to show you the Ray and a 

 glance will convince you. 



Remember, there is no Key to be used to turn your 

 plates into position, neither do you have to put your 

 hand in a " Coat " Sleeve or other trappy appliance to 

 get your plate in position before making an exposure. 



Every movement that is necessary in making an ex- 

 posure with the Ray is in full view of the operator. 



Rays are the only Cameras in the World that use our 

 New Patent Plate Holders which are the lightest, most 

 compact, and cheapest on the market. 



Every Camera is thoroughly tested before leaving 

 the factory. Satisfaction guaranteed. We manu- 

 facture everything in the amateur line.

GHOST PICTURES. 



There are men who always make large 

 bags, and who catch veritable whales, while 

 away from home; but who, when they re- 

 turn from their outings have nothing to 

 show for it. 



Not so with the ghost picture. You can 

 " see ghosts," to your heart's content, and 

 can prove them by your camera. It is done 

 in this way: 



Take some person (a stranger is best, if 

 you intend to see ghosts) ; put a sheet 

 around him, place him in a room where 

 the light is fair, and, having put him in a 

 suitable attitude near the wall, make an in- 

 terior exposure of about Y /i correct time. 

 Then cap your lens and let your man step 

 to one side while you take a picture of the 

 room without the ghost. The second ex- 

 posure should be, like the first, ^4 correct 

 time. 



The resulting negative will be interesting. 

 You see your man, and yet see right 

 through him, to the wall beyond. 



Of course care must be taken that the 

 camera is not moved between the 2 ex- 

 posures. E. C. Brown,
