Never have I bought as many reels. Never has Inde pendent service been as uniformly good. Is there anything on the licensed side one iota better than Imp, Reliance, Thanhouser, Rex, Nestor, Powers, Bison, Great Northern, etc., ete.? Bet your life there isn’t! Are you really stuck on paying that $2.00 per indefinitely? Can't you see, Man, that bye and bye General Flimeo will hatch out some scheme to get hold of your theatre just as he managed to get the licensed exchanges? Will you do with your theatre as a certain exchangeman did—travel all the way to New York and beg the General “Please do take my exchange?’’ I don’t want to frighten you—but why should you take any chance at all? Become Independent—be your own boss, take the bull by the horns and do it right now. And to be absolutely on the safe side, hook up with the Biggest and Best Film Renter in the world. That’s me.
