A. at Hollywood, California 80-^rggtr^ SERVICE ENGRAVING CO Another Mile Stone This is the end of Volume 8, of the INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, and it is with the keenest appreciation that the staff extends thanks to all those subscribers, advertisers, contributors, artists and well wishers who have lent their talents and goodwill in co-operation for the success of our magazine. It is no picnic to build an international magazine like INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, yet it may be done by dint of constant labor, by close application to business affairs and by a never failing courtesy which is the hall-mark of ultimate success. During the year 1937 INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER will open new channels of service and interest and particularly that one which will have to do with the discovery and development of new equipment and better ways to do things. Motion Picture Arts and Crafts has been an important part of the plans of the INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER since the first copy of the first volume came off the press and this idea will be more greatly developed with each issue of the magazine. There is much to write about but perhaps it is sufficient to set forth that all the members of our brilliant staff, who have in past years contributed so largely to our publication's interest and use value, will remain to add lustre to their past achievements. As Dickens' Tiny Tim would say: "God bless us everyone," and that takes in the reader and everyone who is, or shall be, the friend of INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER.
