Variety, June 15, 1917, carried this item: “Julius E. Timer, formerly general manager for the Combitone Pictures Corp., and the Ideal studios and laboratories, and now laboratory representative for the Thanhouser Co., has arranged with Thanhouser to cater to independent market producers who have no laboratories, and Timer has been delegated to spend much of his time in New York signing up contracts. This is a new departure for Thanhouser, who has confined everything about the Thanhouser studios to their own manufacture.” In the summer of 1917, business was slow at the Thanhouser studio, and an effort was made to keep the laboratory working by doing outside contract work. However, the idea was short lived, and a few months later the studio was silent.
