YEAR BOOK READERS
PROOF that the FILM DAILY YEAR BOOK has come to be recognized as the undisputed reference work of the film industry is the fact that it is recognized to be THE authority not alone by the trade but in government departments and civic organizations. It has long since become the all-year-round desk companion of producers, executives, studio officials, exchangemen, theater owners, exporters. Also financial men, technicians, directors— in fact everyone who does things in this business.
It is an especial source of pride that this reference work is to be found in consular offices throughout the world. It is employed by the Department of State. It is to be found in public libraries, schools and churches. Civic organizations have it on file. The test of a trade manual is the extent of its reader radius. The FILM DAILY YEAR BOOK meets this test beyond all dispute.
