This Company was organized for the purpose of producing historical motion pictures and other screen productions and as in the articles of incorporation provided; the Company at great expense produced a number of historical motion pictures, principally battle scenes in the wars between the United States and the American Indians, some of these pictures being authorized by the War Department and participated in by the United States troops and different Indian tribes with the approval of the Secretary of the Department of the Interior. The business of the Compnay was interfered with by the coming on of the World's War, in so far as exhibiting such pictures in foreign countries or even successfully in the United States, and for these reasons the business has not been pressed until recently.

In Witness Whereof, The President of the said corporation has hereunto set his hand and caused the corporate seal to be affixed this 25th day of September, A. D. 1922
