Its membership more firmly united than ever by the ties of mutual interest — Its financial and business standing an established factor in the industry — Its future one of optimism, based upon accomplishment— Its business policy tempered and guided by experience, an experience of five hard years of endeavor in the hitherto untried field of exhibitor cooperation, an experience which has brought its disappointments but an experience which, because of sound principles and unrelenting effort, has ever discarded the impractical and clung to and progressed in the direction of better business ethics and greater accomplishment.
