Description:
BOXOFFICE was the leading American exhibitor trade paper of the post-World War II era. But the publication had modest beginnings. In 1920, Ben Shlyen founded the paper, orginally titled THE REEL JOURNAL, in an office located in Kansas City's Film Row district. Like other regional exhibitor publications, THE REEL JOURNAL focused its attention on the local -- in this case, KC and the nearby territories that the city's distribution exchanges served. By the end of the 1920s, however, Shlyen had acquired or founded several more small exhibitor papers serving other US markets. In 1932, their titles all changed to BOXOFFICE, though they continued to be published in regional editions for decades to follow. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

(DCB) OUR constant research and testing of theatre chairs and materials have always resulted in the very highest standards of construction. This fact is amply demonstrated by the way American Seating Company chairs are withstanding hard, prolonged wartime use. Many of the research and testing methods developed especially for our war production will apply to our forthcoming peacetime products. They will result in new improvements that will pay even further dividends to theatre owners. When final Victory comes American Seating Company will be your source for the best in theatre seating — as it has for over half a century. (yfmeZKmSeatinffGffnfianff GRAND RAPIDS 2, MICHIGAN'.
