0 f ^ c i e n c e lei CHAPTER VIII On May 21st, 1909, the Bison Company released their first picture, "A Disinterested Son's Loyalty." How they came to take this name of Bison was when Mr. Adam Kessel, Jr., was paying a restaurant check and sav7 the Buffalo head on a $10 bill. He decided then and there to call this new company the Bison. The New York Motion Picture Corporation then consisted of Adam Kessel, Jr., President; Chas. O. Baumann, Secretary and Treasurer. Adam Kessel also at that time owned the Empire Film Company, and Chas. O. Baumann branched out with the International Film Exchange, which exchanges handled the output of the General Film Company. Kessel refused to sign a licensed agreement, so they cut off his film supply. He had to get film elsewhere. Kessel & Baumann got in touch with a a camera man who was making film in a small way at that time, and bought out the interest of his concern and started to make pictures for their own exchanges. They sold 18 copies of their first picture, "A Disinherited Son's Loyalty," and were really the first manufacturers to supply exchanges with posters.
