derful future for the motion picture
industry, with it's thousands of beau
tiful theatres, some of greater archi-
tectural beauty than was ever at
tempted for grand opera, or the drama.
l began then to lay the foundation of
Hunts Theatres, Inc. Most of my
friends recall my earlier struggles
with a small theatre of only so seats.
Today we have a chain of Is theatres
with a combined seating capacity of
nearly 10000, doing a highly profitable
business.
Before asking the public to invest
their money with us and share in the
profits of this growing enterprise, we
first demonstrated with our own
money that we have a safe, sound and
profitable business. Therefore we
can pay substantial dividends to our
stockholders, sharing our profits with
those who have placed their conf
dence in US.
81 now have the honor of having
some of Wildwood's most successful
business men associated with me on
our board of directors. These men
of vision will shape the future destiny
of Hunts Theatres, Inc. We want
at least 1000 co-partners (stockhold-
ers) to invest and share in the profits
of this great cooperative enterprise.
We could not build our company upon
a more solid foundation. This financ-
ing program has been placed in charge
of Mr.. w. L.. Porter, assisted by Mr..
Chas. Kinsell, Mr.. Frank and Mr.. Paul
Albus, sales representatives. A limited
amount of stock will be offered. Divi-
dends are paid to stockholders quar-
terly, from earnings of theatres now in
operation. Additional theatres will be
erected and purchased as additional
capital becomes available, consistent
with good business judgment"
