Few realise the amount of care required in producing the hare film stock, the many operations which enter into its manufacture, and the fact that upon each and every one of these operations being conducted just right the final results on the screen depends more than on anything else. The first vital consideration in the manufacture of the film is the quality of the base ; its purity, cleanliness, evenness and freedom from spots, joins and other imperfections. The base of the Lumiere & Blair Film is of the most expensive material and finest quality used in the making of photographic film, while our facilities and processes are such that proper seasoning and freedom from shrinkage, &c, may be relied on. Of quite equal importance is the preparation of the photographic emulsions, negative and positive, upon this depending (with proper exposure and development) the clearness, brilliancy, contrast, detail and natural appearance of the pictures proiected on the screen. The Lumiere & Blair Emulsions are products resulting from years of study and experiment, and the most expert and experienced chemists are employed in their preparation. To this is due its remarkable keeping qualities and immunity from deterioration in hot climates. Also of the utmost importance is the proper coating of the base with the emulsion, for which the makers of Lumiere & Blair Film possess the finest equipment and best facilities. Devised by the pioneers in coating and sensitising reliable materials for photographic purposes, constantly improved and brought to meet all up-to-date requirements, the film coating, winding, drying and cutting machinery at our works is doubtless the most perfect in existence for producing the best quality of film. This film stock is used by the leading cinematographcrs in England and on the Continent. The makers have followed a conservative policy as regards placing their products anywhere and everywhere, preferring to build up the quality and reputation of their Film through their regular customers and exhibitors while the various types of apparatus were also being perfected, thus insuring proper treatment and manipulation of the film. The results of the past year's manufacturing and trading have been so highly satisfactory, with such immunity from complaint, that we now solicit the patronage of all users of film for exposure or projection in any sort of apparatus for animated photography, feeling assured that in its present high state of perfection no failure can be traced to the film itself. Furthermore, we are desirous of getting in touch with consumers and operators who, having distinctive ideas and methods, require film of different speed, size or consistency, or other modification, and are prepared to make special emulsions and coatings to meet such demands.
