PASSES TO OTHER HANDS F. C. AIKEN. On Saturday, June 25, the Theater Film Service Co. of Chicago was sold to the General Film Co. by F. C. Aik¬ en, its president. The business will be conducted at the same address, without material change, the position of manager having been offered to Mr. Aiken and accepted by him. The business of the Chicago rental office of the Kleine Optical Co. will be transferred to the offices of the General Film Co. under the manage¬ ment of Mr. Aiken, the two being con¬ solidated into one exchange. The working forces of the two exchanges will be retained under the new man¬ agement. The General Film Company is the “steam roller” which is absorbing li¬ censed renters. It is said that the trust first secured a hold on this lat¬ est acquisition when Wi N. Selig pur¬ chased the interest of A. C. Roebuck, Mr. Aiken’s partner, last year. SALES CO.
