Large camera on tripod on display

Caption on reverse: "This is a view of the latest camera I made. It has 3 different backs, one for full 5 x 7 pictures, one for 2 on a plate or 3 x 5 pictures and another sliding back for 4 on a plate. I've been shooting with it for about 2 weeks, and so far haven't missed on but one negative. This tripod is an old one, but I still like the vise idea for clamping the camera on, instead of fooling with a bolt. Notice the fancy handle on top. It may look goofy, but it's the handiest handle you ever saw!" Stamped in ink: "Jul 3 1941" Presumably written by Galen Biery. See also photo GB2316.
