George Eastman, founder of The Kodak, suffered in the late 1800s rejection of professional photographers, but knew reinventing marketing taking a turn for the unexpected and providential. Eastman was able to see the need for an easy to use camera and developed a really simple camera that also came preloaded with a roll of 100 exposures. Once taken 100 photographs should send the camera to Rochester, where employees of Eastman opened the camera, revealing the roll, printed features images round and carried back the camera with a roll of 100 new exhibits, sending him back to the client for only $ 10 at the time. The camera was hyped for this reason with the slogan"" You press the button, we do the rest"" . George Eastman called this Kodak camera, thanks to the success of this product in 1892 the company name changed to Eastman Kodak Company.
