February. 1921 MOVING PICTURE AGE 23 "It Was MY Life Story You Told!" "The Making of an American" has already made hundreds of Americans. It hits the right spot. Try it. Write for illustrated circular to Worcester Film Corporation, llto West 1,5th Street, N. Y. City How New York Gets Its Breakfast THE completion of a moving picture showing how New York City gets its food supply, was announced by Dr. Eugene H. Porter, State Commissioner. The picture was produced by Community Productions, Incorporated, under the direction of the State Division of Foods and Markets and is intended to give both farmers and city people an idea of the channels of transportation and distribution through which fresh fruits and vegetables pass before they reach the consumer. It is purely an educational film without any propaganda for any particular scheme of improving present conditions, but Dr. Porter considers that it will be of great help in bringing about a better understanding of the marketing problems of the city and state. Those who see the film are saved the discomforts of being out all night to observe the night life of the New York wholesale markets. Many will realize for the first time what volume of produce is moved through the congested market section of lower Manhattan in a few hours after midnight in order that the vast population of the city and environs may be fed each day. A breakfast table appears all through the picture for the story is in the form of a description to a family at breakfast of the places through which the fruits and vegetables purchased that morning at the corner store before breakfast, have passed in the course of the night. Prints of it will be loaned without cost to moving picture theaters, schools, and civic organizations. Groups interested in market problems may secure the film through application to the State Division of Foods and Markets, 90 West Broadway, New York City. Educational Films Exchanges, Inc., announces the company will open two new branches. One will be in Albany and the other in Salt Lake City, Utah. A $5605 Value at $3750 BASS SAYS ORDER AT ONCE !
