HEADS HOLD CONFERENCE
■ ■ 1 1
Mr. Oscar Micheaux, president of
the Micheaux Film Corporation, Chi

for a conference with Mr. Geo. P.
Johnson, manager Lincoln Motion Pic
ture Corporation, Los Angeles, Cal.,
remaining throughout the day, leav
ing on the evening train for a board
of directors meeting at Sioux City, la.
It is rumored from authentic sources
that these two successful race film
producing corporations are planning
some form of a gigantic merger,
headed by eastern capitalists, in which
the production and distribution end
of their business will be consolidated
under one management.
The production and distribution of
first class photo-plays catering to
colored patronage has passed the ex
perimental stage and arrived at a
point that with executive manage
ment and sufficient capital, its future
international success is assured.
The Lincoln Motion Picture Co.
(Inc.) has successfully catered to the
national trade since 1916; being the
only race firm in the country to pro
duce steadily for a period longer than
three years.
The Micheaux Film Co., organized
in 1918, has successfully produced
and marketed one feature production,
and has just completed its second now
being released in Chicago and to be
hown in Omaha in the near future.

Going Backward
Just suppose we had to go back to harvesting by hand.
. Think of the number of men it would take, the time it would
' require, and the great loss that would result. j
Then suppose you had to go back to the old days before the
! * coming of the telephone. You would have to reorganize your
whole business, change all your methods of buying and selling,
i You would have to reorganize your home, too.
Today the telephone is a part of the daily life of more than
half the people of this country. It influences the ways of living
l of every worker and every employer, because it influences their
work.
You know what the telephone means to you, in your business
| and in your home. Do you realize the telephone company needs
money to give you this service?
Wages and telephone material have all gone up. The
Company must meet these increased costs. Its only income, like
any other business, comes from the goods it sells. Telephone
service costs money to produce and a fair price must be
charged for it.
