Canada

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. The Brownie camera was designed by Frank Brownell in 1898 as an inexpensive yet reliable camera. The name was adopted from popular characters created by Canadian born illustrator and author Palmer Cox in the 1890s, making the Brownie camera a marketing success until the last one was made in 1980. [Ref. 1]
