The Motion Picture Distributing and Sales Company was a motion picture distribution company that operated in the United States between 1910 and 1912. The company distributed almost 2,200 silent era motion pictures over its three year existence.
Created to challenge the attempted monopoly of the General Film Company, which was produced by the Motion Picture Patents Company, both Universal Pictures and the Mutual Film Corporation grew out of the Motion Picture Distributing and Sales Company.[1]
