ADVERTISE, IF YOU WANT RESULTS! THE day of the Exhibitor who doesn't advertise is passing. The moving picture business is progressing so fast that the man who doesn't advertise will soon be left in the rear with the failures. WE must advertise and YOU must advertise. It's the life blood of this business, the same as it is in ANY LIVE profitable business. It's absurd to think that you can sit back with hands folded and say to yourself: "Oh, I've got a fine house; the people are hound to come to me". That kind of an Exhibitor will wake up some fine morning and find his business GONE. The Universal spends hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to educate the public to SEE Universal pictures in Universal theatres all over America — in Canada, England and many other countries. We would be tickled to death to put this advertising into our own pockets if we could do so, but we can't, don't intend to and WON'T. Don't matter how you advertise your house and Universal pictures so long as you ADVERTISE and keep at it. Now, make up a list of what you need from the supplies shown below, and BEGIN ADVERTISING NOW AND KEEP EVERLASTINGLY AT IT.
