46 CJ)e CJjeatte ents company had a contract with Eastman whereby the Eastman Company would supply no one but the amalgamated manufacturers with the raw material, which made it necessary for the Independent manufacturers to depend upon Europe for their raw material. While some of it was up to the standard, at least fifty per cent, was of an inferior grade, so that the losses were tremendous. The Independent manufacturers then sought Murdock's aid to secure for them the Eastman stock. This he succeeded in doing after a time, with the aid of two of his very close friends, E. F. Albee and Colonel T. C. Marceau. The fact remains, had it not been for Murdock in the very beginning, it is doubtful whether there would have been any Independent moving-picture concerns aside from the Bison output in America to-day. Since the birth of the Independents, hundreds of new concerns have sprung up, and it is a question whether any of them ever stopped to think of the man who claims he made it possible for them to do business in the moving-picture field.
