The Exhibitor (1966)

would have personally welcomed each man into the fold. N.T.S., was now an ally. Major problems affect all dealers — each is plagued by the fly-by-nighter who sells inferior or copied goods, friend to no dealer or manufac¬ turer or exhibitor. Competitors, the dealers are, but friends now, as well.

Pie will gradually become, through TEDA, a medium in which to bring the space age into the theatre, able to open the proscenium to all the delights and wonderments of new processes and equip¬ ments so far undreamed of new. He will attain a kind of niche, this super dealer, which would have delighted the founders who could not have possibly imagined what the organization that they founded so long ago, could become in a few decades.” No, the Theatre Equipment Dealer can never again, be the ‘forgotten man.’ SPECIALIZE IN ALL FORMS OF PROFESSIONAL AND AUDIO VISUAL AIDS.
