		They were major suppliers of westerns, a highly inexpensive but popular genre at the time, and they had their own exchange systems around the country and their own studio facilities, which other PR companies seldom, if ever, did.
		The term Poverty Row actually comes from the fact that these companies tended to rent office space in close proximity in LA; Gower Gulch is, I believe, an interchangeable term, referring to a stretch of Gower Blvd. in LA which hosted, or at least bounded, the Poverty Row storefronts.
		Columbia also began as essentially a Poverty Row outfit, but Harry Cohn also moved it beyond its humble origins by the early 30s.

	The Edgar G Ulmer Collection
		“Ingenuity triumphed over expense, as Ulmer’s “Poverty Row” aesthetic, using his talent for design and for visual experimentation both subtle and bold, immortalized disenfranchised drifters, born losers and misguided adventurers who, like Ulmer himself, wander from the paths of glory to find comfort in the shadowy fringes.”
		But to a free spirit like Ulmer, poverty could also be a blessing: he learned how to turn out highly personal films in any genre and on minuscule budgets.
		The most one can hope for are films that make the most of the modest resources and transcend their limitations of capital; films whose obvious budgetary shortcomings reveal the difficult conditions under which the filmmaker struggled to realize his/her vision, the financial obstacles that were cleared by ingenuity and clever craftsmanship.
