Canada

Eastman saw that if the cost could be reduced, more people, and in particular children, might take up photography. Frank Brownell designed the Brownie camera which was launched in 1900. It was named after the little characters created by the popular Canadian children's author and illustrator Palmer Cox. By adopting the name and using the characters in advertising, Eastman gained a major marketing advantage. Kodak Canada was founded by Eastman Kodak in 1899 in a Toronto shop where employees cut sheet film and fitted lenses on cameras to support the growing potential for a photographic market in Canada. As Canadian interest in photography grew, the company expanded across the country throughout the 20th century to produce in all aspects of photography including still and movie cameras, film, x-ray film, photocopy paper, and photographic chemicals under many popular names including Brownie, Kodacolor, Carousel, and Supermatic.
