The Brownie was a low-cost marque of Kodak for a period of time. Therefore, Kodak was comparing the Brownie to it's higher-cost brethren.

It was only later that the Brownie, and indeed all remaining EK-made cameras, were folded under the 'Kodak' imprimatur.

Relative to the rest of the Kodak line, then.
