REELandSLIDE 47 Don^t figure on getting back to the normal business you had. Figure on getting the BIG BUSINESS ahead. Many old methods must be scrapped — because they are not big enough for present opportunity. American Industry must make use of every available constructive force. Business men must be willing to welcome the new, and investigate with open minds. For four years we have watched vivid, living, authentic motion pictures of history in the making. We are no longer satisfied with printed stories. They are tame by comparison with the actual event — with really seeing the thing as it happened. In our search for the Truth we have become a nation of picture-worshippers, for "Seeing Is Believing." The Industrial Motion Picture convinces without argument. It entertains while it sells. A sale is a mental, not a physical transaction. The camera and the screen have perfected the power that lies in pictorial impression. Hence, the Industrial Motion Picture is a great constructive sales force — 100% efficient. A Universal Industrial Motion Picture Has a GUARANTEED CIRCULATION of 20,000,000.
