The Sammies are coming! "Good-by, New York — till we meet again!" "The object of this war is to deliver the free peoples of the world from the menace and the actual power of a vast military establishment controlled by an irresponsible government, which, having secretly planned to dominate the world, proceeded to carry the plan without regard either to the sacred obligations of treaty or the long established practices and long cherished principles of international action and honor; which chose its own time for the war; delivered its blow fiercely and suddenly stopped at no barrier of law or mercy; swept a whole continent within the tide of blood of not the soldiers only, but the blood of innocent women and children also, and of the helpless, of the poor — and now stands balked but not defeated, the enemy of four-fifths of the world." From President Wilson's reply to the Pope. What could you show your people that will appeal to them stronger than pictures of actual events that are daily happening? Fans are just as keen to see each release as they are to get the latest issue of their daily newspaper. Cash in on The Demand Why don't you book the most popular weekly, UNIVERSAL ANIMATED WEEKLY?
