Congratulations to William fox Upon His Tremendous Growth
Associated Producers, Inc., view with pleasure the announcement of William Fox and his Fox Film Corporation for the amusement year now about to open.
We wish him well with his great volume of product distributed in virtually every part of the world through his own organization.
William Fox is the first great independent producer and distributor of this industry. He alone broke the monopoly of the Motion Picture Patents Company and through this courageous step made this a “free industry” in which strong and able men could establish themselves and in which, rightly, weak men could fail as weak men fail in other industries and professions.
No men agree on all points at issue and there may be, and are, doubtless many points over which we would differ with him over the multitude of phases of this industry and its problems.
But we admire his daring and insistence upon independence and we hail his gigantic imagination that has built a powerful, sound, world-wide independent organization to establish his name.
It 1s fair to point out that Associated Producers, Inc., places the same emphasis upon its. freedom and independence that William Fox places upon his own. Like his own organization, ours is being kept free of entangling alliances and intrigues.
Competing fairly and cleanly with him at a thousand points or more, it may be a pleasing surprise to William Fox to know that Associated Producers, Inc., sales organization of a hundred men carries our liking and respect for this first great independent out across the broad map of America to the exhibitors we mutually serve, as well as to those we expect to serve.
