Enterprise first appears in the trades in 1946
Daily Variety 17July 1946 page 5
Billboard Aug 3, 1946 p. 35
Billboard is online via Google books, you'll probably get better results searching for the names associated with the company. It went bankrupt in late 1947.

Hmm... it seems Enterprise was affiliated with United Artist (the indy producer/distributor, not United Artists). Enterprise shows up in Galen Gart's ARLD, p. 77. I can type out the particulars if anyone needs them. Reply offlist.Mal*******On 6/24/2012 7:37 AM, Daniel Langan wrote:> I would appreciate any info available on the L.A.
