SCIENCES ARTISTRY fox tne PERFECT RELEASE PRINTS Our New York and Hollywood plants are especially equipped to develop negatives — to render a COMPLETE film laboratory service. IT TAKES ARTISTRY to make a picture — to present a story humanly and convincingly. But it takes science to project that story onto the screen. Without perfect release prints many of the effects that artistic directors strive for would be lost. "CERTIFIED PRINTS" unfailingly reproduce these effects. They are painstakingly made of the finest raw stock and chemicals by the most skilled operators. Their quality is controlled. They're SCIENTIFICALLY correct. We maintain a costly research laboratory where a full corps of skilled chemical and technical engineers constantly seek additional ways of advancing the science of film printing. Science has given us modern devices to protect your negatives and prints every inch of the way against all possible dangers. And science has helped us develop Consolidated's unusual plants and machinery to a yearly capacity of over a billion feet of film printing. They can run twenty-four hours a day when overnight delivery is required. By reason of its ample working capital, this large, specialized organization — scientifically planned and operated — is prepared, not only to take care of the largest release print contract, but to grant loans to its customers and to finance independent production on a large scale. For twenty years Consolidated has been giving scientific expression to the art of the producer. The quality of "CERTIFIED PRINTS" and the dependability of Consolidated's service reflect this wide experience. CONSOLIDATED FILM INDUSTRIES. INC NEW YORK HOLLYWOOD
