Tepees & Chateaux. One photographer waited an entire week to shoot a burrowing owl going into a hole and coming out again. Another cameraman was speared by a savage while working along the Amazon. In making a film called Indian Family of Long Ago, E.B.F. experts had to teach the actors, some Sioux from South Dakota, how to put up tepees, pack a travois (a primitive sledge), and shoot bows and arrows.

In 1940 he broke into the mail-order field, encouraged by a new U.S. patent law that allowed the patenting and collection of royalties on new rose varieties.
