"Please accept my cordial good wishes for the Mew Year. Your splendid spirit of cooperation will inspire its own tribute from the industry in perfected home movies, and by the perpetuation of ties through that modern family album, the amateur movie film." THE DeVry Corporation extended its good wishes through Mr. A. P. Hollis, Advertising Manager, who wrote : "Amateur Movie Makers seems to have arrived full-orbed, like Minerva from the head of Jupiter. There were no painful appeals and years of slow grinding. "The DeVry Corporation was among the first of the larger advertisers to see its possibilities and use its service and from the beginning the returns have been satisfactory. "As for the amateur, he accepted it at once as an unquestioned gift of the gods, and has been using it amazingly ever since." THE A. C. Hayden Company, through Mr. Hayden, President, wrote: "My conception of advertising used to be that if it created an initial interest in a product it had done its duty and that the actual sale would have to be completed by personal contact, but Amateur Movie Makers has educated me in that regard. It has built up my business. It is the only advertising medium I have ever used that creates the demand and sells the product. In fact, the A. C. Hayden Company has not yet had to employ a single salesman, and we therefore credit our large cinematic business entirely to our messages to the amateurs through Amateur Movie Makers. "Your magazine has brought us business from all over the world, and in this connection, a recent order from the Far East leads me to the belief that the product in question is destined for the Palace of the Mikados. "Really, my interests are so tied up with those of this young publication that in sending a greeting to it, I am simply wishing myself good luck. Notwithstanding that, my congratulations in the fullest measure possible." OUR first birthday occasioned this prophecy for the future from H. Neuwirth of the Testrite Instrument Company: "We feel secure in our belief that the New Year, more than ever before, will bring happiness to all amateur movie makers because of the greater knowledge and additional mechanical aids which help the amateur operator. "We wish for you all, happiness and health in 1928." NIGHT MOVIES So many events happen at night that we would love to film — next day we have the light but the party is over. METEOR FLARES will provide the light — 30 seconds and up. The leading professional flare now available to the amateur. John G. Marshall 1752 ATLANTIC AVENUE BROOKLYN, N. Y.
