The Lubin Manufacturing Company was a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based motion picture production company.
In November 1912 a production team from Lubin was dispatched to the Birmingham area to make cowboy pictures at a rate of about six per month. Their first proposal, to shoot at the Ensley Works, was rejected by TCI. They took lodgings at the Bluff Park Hotel and constructed an outdoor stage there. Their local office needs were to accommodated by F. E. Butler of the Messer Real Estate & Insurance Co.. By the end of December the Lubin Co. had abandoned their plans and J. P. McGowan of the Kalem Company of New York, known for its location shoots, was ready to pick up where they left off.
