istory was developing fast at the Pan-America Exposition in Buffalo, NY, in 1901. That year, just one year after it sold 150,000 of its new $1 Brownie cameras, Eastman Kodak of Rochester, NY, merged with its exhibiting partner General Aristo Co. (which made photographic paper and supplies) and other firms to form Eastman Kodak Co. of New Jersey. Disdained by the photographic elite (Kodak was “a fad,” said Alfred Stieglitz, “well nigh on its last legs”), Eastman Kodak soon hogged the picture of the photography market, owning a Microsoft Corp.-like 80 percent of it by 1915.
