Mar. 16, 1935: --Carl Laemmle Anniversary Jubilee1 NOT BEEN SOLD In fact it is an amazing thing that in spite of all the circumstantial lies which have been published oyer a long period of time, the trade has maintained its confidence in Universal without the flicker of an eyelid ! Stories which have been printed about Universal would ruin more than one company, but they have never ruined Universal. Even the Universal staff, which you might think would be disturbed by stories of sales and mergers, has remained on the job day in and day out. I have always been mushy enough to believe that sentiment cuts a lot of ice in this business or any other. I have always believed that the Universal staff and the Universal customers have had the same sentimental attachment for Universal that Universal has had for them. Time and experience have justified my belief. So Universal is still here. It is still in the same hands. It has had its good years and its bad, but its average has been pretty good. It has never harmed anyone. It has helped thousands. It has not made me rich in dollars but it has made me rich in friendships and in confidence and in all the things which endure.
