Hundreds of this country's best exhibitors and buyers have written evincing the liveliest interest in our announced intention to offer a steady supply of OPEN-MARKET specials. They tell us, in plain and unmistakable terms, that there is a dearth of read pictures which can be obtained by the exhibitor AS HE WANTS THEM WHEN HE WANTS THEM AND AT A MODERATE PRICE To those who have not understood exactly the function of the OPEN-MARKET as we intended to convey it, let us say that it is humanly impossible to maintain an output of "uniform" excellence and strength, hence the injustice of being compelled to buy an obviously weak attraction at a price properly chargeable only for the best. Therefore, we shall grade our pictures and price them according to their true value.
