Moving Picture World (Jan-Mar 1912)

i6 THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD ^^^^ TRADE MARK Terry McGovern had most of his fights practically won in the first round because he always got away to a good start. And the start is half the scrap — just the same in the motion picture business as in the prize ring. A bad start and you're up against a handicap all the way — a good start and everything favors your success ! The difference between a good start and a bad start in the motion picture business depends chiefly on the machine you buy. It is poor economy to buy a cheap machine. Get THE Edison Kinetoscope the best motion picture machine made. i^on^ If you buy a cheap machine you will have to buy a good machine sooner or later anyway — doubling up your outlay. . Get the best machine first — the Edison. A cheap machine will ruin your patronage, to say nothing of wasting your earnings on repairs. The Edison, projecting the clearest, steadiest pictures, will build up your patronage, and maintain it and increase it — and at the lowest operating expense. The Edison will outlast any other motion picture machine made, all parts are readily accessible and it is by far the simplest to operate. Write us to-day for complete particulars and copy of the Edison Kinetogram. KINDLY LIGHT" Edison Films TUESDAY.
