We have placed out in the twenty odd exchange centres of the industry the kind of men you encounter in banks and the greater industrial organizations of the coun try. We haven’t an average or common garden variety of “film man” in our entire ; organization and we don’t expect to have any. ~ SOY SAW WWAAh WWW EEA". It is worth a thousand times the money we spend to advertise the character of the men selected by us as our face-to-face representatives with the exhibitors of the country. We have sent our men, without introduction or explanation, in to meet the bankers with whom we do business in our exchange centres and in every instance careful and observing bankers have written: “Your manager is a fine type of man.” MAAN Eugene Roth telegraphs from San Francisco, saying: “Your manager is very popular in this territory and a hundred per cent. square shooter.” Hundreds of exhibitors writing or telegraphing “Good luck” have wound up by saying: “you'll have it here because of the man you have chosen in this territory.” Pictures are important and we will have good ones and big ones. But, even ahead of everything else, this organization is built and founded on men—strong, honest, powerful men who are proud and not ashamed of the business they are in; proud of the firm they work for; proud of the directors and producers whose pictures they sell; proud of the customers to whom they sell and proud of their own standing, as men, in the various territories.
