NEW, EQUIPMENT, X
In 1913, seeing a,,need for new
types of theatre advertising, and
after consulting his many friends
in the movie industry, Benton came
out with an entirely new line con-
sisting of small theatre programs,
heralds and mailing pieces. He in
stalled offset printing equipment.
This type of printing has. been de-
veloped only in. last few years and
is highly technical. To get, the de-
sired results the plant had to be
airconditioneds and in the offset
room the humidity had to be con-
trolled closely. After. overcoming
many difficulties. this new depart
ment is rolling along smoothly and
promises to equal or surpass the
poster volume.
A chunky, pleasant business man,
Benton has put most of his energy
into production and service. and
little, into selling. In all of his ex-
pansion he has never, put a sales
man on the road nor has he solic-
tied customers, However, !at the
bottom of all his cards are the
words Benton Card Co., Benson,
N. c." and observant theatremen
all over eastern America have seen
it and hundreds of them have
written to him about doing their
work. Today, he ships his stuff as
Tar away as Arkansas, Texas, Mary

GIVES SERVICE
Since he deals, with Smalltown
'Moviedom, Benton often must give
indulgent and homeIy service. Copy
for the posters arrive in every con-
ceivable form-on the back of en-
velopes, on postcards. z by wire
Some of 1t would be hard for a
novice to translate, but Benton is
familiar not only with the current
movie titles, but with. titles of pic
lures made decades ago, and still
going the rounds in the small towns.
Benton is proud Of the fact that
he developed rainbow tinting" for

Jebb Cautions Against Split
Between u. S. and Britain

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10 (P)
Sir Gladwyn Jebb, Great Brit
aims delegate to the United Ma
tions, cautioned last night thai
alleged differences" must not be
allowed to split the United States
and Britain.
Alleged differences between
England and America in the Fal
East have been grossly exaggerat.
ed and played up during recent
months" Sir Gladwyn said in q
talk prepared for the American
Association for the United Nations
His subject was "The United Ma.
tions and Far Eastern Problems.
THE fact is." he said, that
both my country and yours are
engaged, and I think on the whole
successfully engaged, in a struggle
to make 1t clear that aggression
does not pay.
The United Nations action
against the North Koreans aggres.
sion was highly successful" he
said, but the Chinese Reds inter-
vention changed the whole situa-
tion very materially"
