EDISON MANUFACTURING CO.

“Formed to market products invented by Thomas Edison, it handled his motion picture and closely related phonograph business. In 1896, as the Kinetoscope business faltered, Edison appointed William Gilmore to manage the company. Gilmore took distribution out of the hands of independents like Raff & Gammon and Maguire & Baucus. Then Edison began a series of lawsuits to repress competitors. Patent suits dominated the American film market prior to W.W.I and kept Edison the predominant American film company during much of this period. Until recently aesthetic advancements made by Edison’s filmmakers have been overshadowed by accounts of the legal wrangling.” - Paul Spehr/Bruce Posner
