Vintage Bible Teaching Tools: Canon Bible Programs/Double Sixteen Company
Double-Sixteen or "DOSIX" was an educational A/V company based in Wheaton, IL that was founded as early as 1957 and incorporated in 1960 by brothers James Canon and Thomas W. Canon. They developed Bible story films strips known as the "Canon Bible Programs" around 1966. Available as classroom 35mm filmstrips and for the General Electric Show N’ Tell Phono-Viewers, the Canon Bible kit reportedly sold over 2 million copies from 1966 to 1981. The company was later renamed Canon Publishing LTD. I have been fortunate to acquire 6 of the Canon Instructional Modules that include filmstrips, booklets, with audio-cassettes.
