• A1 is THE EXHIBITOR touring field representative. He is especially delegated by us to contact you, to make certain you are taking advantage of the various services offered you by Jay Emanuel Publications, Inc.
• Long ago, we realized that a successful motion picture trade journal must be more than a publication which is mailed to its readers regularly. It must keep in touch with its many readers and the territory it serves by PERSONAL CONTACT.
• With the best local coverage in its territory, with its many correspondents, THE EXHIBITOR is keeping faith with its readers.
• But to make this contact even more intimate, we have designated A1 Katz as its field representative, to meet you, to pick up news stories and pictures, to discuss your problems with you, to see how else we can be of service.
• One of these days he will be dropping in to see you. Give him a moment or so. His one purpose is to serve you.
• WATCH FOR HIM.

The distributors were asked to put in writing what they believed the understanding to be. They have done it and if it now needs further clarification, let this clarification be forthcoming. Let us go into 1 939 believing in the sincerity and the honesty of purpose of every man who had a part in those negotiations.
Continue Negotiations
IF more negotiations are necessary on some phases, let us have them. Let the same men negotiate. They have done a fine job so far. Let’s believe in them, all of them, and let’s express to them now our thanks for what they have done and let the entire industry wish for them all that happy and prosperous 1939, which by their sincere efforts to help everybody they have so well earned.
