Even while something was valuable in and of itself, the true profit was concealed in the backdrop picture. An original poster from the Oscar-winning 1930s film All Quiet on the Western Front was shown behind the background. At a projected worth of $20,000, the poster was a veritable gold mine for Stouffer.
