However, thirty-seven changes were necessary in order to correct a mailing list directed to this class of business. A 1923 list not corrected meant 30 per cent mailing waste and 30 per cent failure to cover. "Any advertiser who has had experience with mailing lists ranging over a period of years knows how vigilant the advertiser must be who wishes to keep his mailings up to a decent degree of efficiency.

World, as an expert in the matter of theater exploitation. This was in line with Bruce Bromley's intent to controvert Al Lichtman's claim that when Preferred pictures played Southern Enterprise houses on a percentage basis, they were inadequately exploited. Through Sargent, Bromley hoped to show that the pictures received the exploitation accorded all pictures of that caliber. The examiner's refusal to recognize the witness' qualifications in such matters, obviated the opportunity for proving the point. Offer to prove that the witness had knowledge which qualified him to render opinions as authentic as those given in previous testimony by Lichtman, was denied.
