Your Future with This Company qe The swift moving pace of modern life has no better example of intelligent, progressive effort than is visibly present in the amusement industry today. Nor does the industry afford a better example of this than your own company, Paramount Publix, undisputed leader of the amusement industry. Knowledge of your company’s history, therefore, is most essential to you if you would have your personal career keep step with the progress of your company. Such knowledge is the basis for many of the conclusions upon which rest the mileposts of what doubtless will be an even more swiftly moving industrial future. To provide a lively and interesting, as well as informative record of that step-by-step progress of Publix, the theatreoperating division of Paramount Publix, is the function of PUBLIX OPINION.
