EDITOR'S COMMENT While every effort has been made by repeated mailings and even by long distance telephone to achieve a high degree of accuracy and uniformity in the domestic, Canadian, and foreign theatre supply dealer entries which follow, it has been impossible to secure the 100 per cent cooperation of the dealers themselves in confirming, revis¬ ing, or amplifying the information in these FREE listings. With the assistance of most of the large concerns with branch offices in the U. S. and affiliates overseas, we have been able to supply up-to-the-minute in¬ formation on such outlets. Other dealers who have not confirmed, revised, or amplified their listings as requested are indicated by an asterisk (*). WESTERN SERVICE AND SUPPLY. INC 2071 Broadway, Denver 5.
