Views and Film Index (1908)

vv i\i\uorv/n L/i^TTtrr 1 T MAUL JK XT New York, June 27th, 1908. To the Editor of The Views and Films Index. Several song slide makers of this city have advised us that they have been in¬ formed that the Novelty people were copying slides and selling them at cut prices, and asking us for an explana¬ tion. Although somewhat surprised to hear of this, it is not to be wondered at, con¬ sidering the fact that our rapidly in¬ creasing song slide rental business has made for us a few jealous, competitive enemies. However, realizing the harm that a report like this could work if not offset immediately, we desire to place before your readers the following facts : It is true that we are manufacturing song slides; we are now illustrating songs for some of the big publishers, but we want to go down on record as stating that WE HAVE NEVER COPIED A SINGLE SLIDE of other manufacturers since we have been in business, and don’t intend to. We are not “Fakers” or “Dopers;” every slide we turn out is ORIGINAL; — posed, photographed, developed, printed and colored by ourselves. The fact that our work has met with popular approval is best evidenced by the large number of standing orders that are coming in from all over the country. If we were copying, we certainly could not court 'the publicity that we do by our advertising, circularizing, etc. Furthermore, every slide we send out bears a mat, with imprint therein of our name and address as the manu¬ facturers; — copyists (from what we have heard about them) usually use plain mats without printing, to protect themselves from detection. Any fool can start a rumor, but it takes a man to prove the truth or un¬ truth of it. To the fool, we make the following offer : Bring us a set of copied slides of our manufacture and we will reward you with $500 in cash for your troubles. To the man: If you have still he slightest doubt as to the truth of our above remarks, we want you to be convinced ; we hand you the key of our entire establishment and ask you to come and investigate for yourself.
