Thanhouser Corporation Following Hite's Death
The Thanhouser Company continued for another three years following Hite's death. Edwin Thanhouser again took over as head of the corporation following Hite's death, but did not see success as he had in his earlier years. The film industry was more competitive by this time, and although films featuring Florence La Badie were still successful, other ventures were not. La Badie left Thanhouser Corporation in 1917, only weeks before her own death on October 13, 1917 as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident in late August 1917. In 1918, Thanhouser Corporation was liquidated.

Famous quotes containing the words corporation and/or death:
“It is truly enough said that a corporation has no conscience; but a corporation of conscientious men is a corporation with a conscience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Or I shall live your epitaph to make,
Or you survive when I in earth am rotten;
From hence your memory death cannot take,
Although in me each part will be forgotten.
Your name from hence immortal life shall have,
Though I, once gone, to all the world must die:”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
