I purchased studio short ends of 35mm Plus X in odd length rolls for a cent and a half a foot. It was frozen out of date film and worked very well. They carried 400 foot photographic paper 9.5 inches wide for a very cheap price. With the help of a paper cutter, I printed 8X9.5 inch prints. I would go to Drewry Photocolor in Glendale and obtain reloadable Ansco and Ektachrome cassettes by the bucket load from their scrap pile. I was in College in Eagle Rock, Occidental College, and did not have much money to support my hobby. I did sell pictures to the school newspaper and the annual. which helped. Do you know what ever happened to Hollywood Camera? It was a most interesting store.
