Dear Friends:<br />
Last July the Motion Picture .<br />
Kansas City decided uj^ :<br />
a plan to honor Arthur H. Cole in recognition and appreciation ol the fine work<br />
he has for so long done on behalf of the industry, both locally and nationally.<br />
That plan is now ready to be launched and we believe you will feel if a privilege<br />
to participate in it.<br />

Throughout his more than 40 years in the industry, Arthur Cole has constantly<br />
served as its "diplomat without portfolio," always at the beck and call of exhibitors<br />
and distributors alike, wherever and whenever the need arose. This took in many<br />
things, not the least of which was a constant effort to improve the industry's public<br />
relations; to deal with censorship, legislation and taxation.<br />
Arthur has been a key factor in the development of goodwill with the many and<br />
varied public groups, some of which, at times, have been hostile to the industry<br />
Always he has won them over, enhancing the industry's status in the eyes of civic<br />
leaders and the general public and strengthening its position.<br />
Directly or indirectly his work for the industry has benefited each and every<br />
person in it; particularly exhibitors and distributors, who have been helped to save<br />
and to make money.<br />
Because of his humanitarian interests and activities, the Committee has thought<br />
it would be most fitting to do something on behalf of Arthur Cole's favorite charity<br />
—the YMCA Boys Camp for underprivileged youngsters on the outskirts of Kansas<br />
City. The funds raised will be used to provide additional housing facilities at the camp.<br />
We believe that all who know Arthur Cole will want to have a part in this<br />
project. And that all others, with a sense of pride in their industry and gratitude for<br />
the good that is done for it, will welcome this opportunity to do honor to a fine man<br />
and, at the same time, aid a worthy cause. By so doing Arthur Cole and a lot of people<br />
will be made very happy.<br />
Gifts are tax deductible.<br />
Sincerely<br />
yours,<br />
