Did you know? From the 1940s the National Screen Service was responsible for printing and distributing most film posters. As an economy measure, the NSS regularly recycled posters that were returned to them, by sending them back out to be used again at another theater. During this time, a film could stay in circulation for several years, and so many old film posters were badly worn before being retired into storage at an NSS warehouse (most often, they were thrown away when they were no longer needed or had become too worn to be used again). Those posters which were not returned were often thrown away by the theater owner, but some found their way into the hands of collectors.
