One OF the great contributory caus-

| OF the New England Universal Film
Exchange
"one of the great business roman

Few people realize how important

has grown to be the fifth largest in

Last year $4,000 miles OF film
were exported from the United
States. Nearly S10,000,00O worth Of
film was sent to foreign countries
and United States colonies. This was
the history Of this branch OF nterna-
tonal trade, a remarkable record
considering war conditions.
While 1t is Impossible to get exact
figures as to the quantity of film pro-
