Poster Company of The Stars
Ted Trikilis would call agents to get permission to use Hollywood stars likenesses by guarantying a $6,000 return on every signed contract. Sales had to be big to meet the high $6000 guarantee but then a poster of the Fonz sold more than a quarter-million copies which bumped Pro Arts in the big leagues.

Famous quotes containing the words company and/or stars:
“We noticed several other sandy tracts in our voyage; and the course of the Merrimack can be traced from the nearest mountain by its yellow sand-banks, though the river itself is for the most part invisible. Lawsuits, as we hear, have in some cases grown out of these causes. Railroads have been made through certain irritable districts, breaking their sod, and so have set the sand to blowing, till it has converted fertile farms into deserts, and the company has had to pay the damages.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars—on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
