...hardest fighting trim, had been flattened by some tank-town lightweight. Berkey Photo, a financially rickety New York-based photo-products manufacturer and retailer of cameras, film and chemicals, with sales of about $200 million a year, won a favorable jury verdict in a marathon antitrust action against Eastman Kodak (1976 sales: $5.4 billion). During the trial, which lasted six months, Berkey claimed that it had been grievously damaged by Kodak's alleged monopoly power; Berkey lost $24.2 million in the first nine months of 1977. To the astonishment of many legal experts, the jury agreed, finding that Kodak...

...Actually, business was starting to rebound even before July. In June sales were 16% above year-ago levels, and July's heat drove even more buyers into appliance stores. "It's an impulse item," explains Nicholas F. Tralongo, an appliance-industry analyst at Manhattan's Blyth Eastman Dillon & Co. "You have a bad week, and you rush...
Shareholders had more than the new Polavision system to cheer about. The company's instant still-picture cameras, including the Pronto line (the cheapest sells at discount for less than $50) introduced about a year ago, are doing very well. They have prevented archrival Eastman Kodak, the giant of U.S. photography with sales of $5.4 billion, from grabbing as much of the market as expected in its first year in the instant-camera field.* Polaroid's 1976 sales of $950 million missed the magic billion-dollar mark by a shutter click, and its first-quarter 1977 profits jumped...
