The Motion Picture Distributing and Sales Company was a major national American motion picture distribution company that operated between May 1910 and mid-1912, distributing almost 2,200 silent era motion pictures during its two year existence. Its product came from the majority of independent American film producers, who had previously distributed through states' rights franchisees, and from a handful of small independent national distributors, all of whom opposed the attempted distribution monopoly of the General Film Company, a subsidiary of Edison's Motion Picture Patents Company. Both Universal Pictures and the Mutual Film Corporation grew out of the Motion Picture Distributing and Sales Company.
