Page Six P E P-O-G RAMS FASS NOW ASSISTANT TRAFFIC MANAGER General Traffic Manager Stilson has announced the appointment of William Fass, Jr. to the post of Assistant Traffic Manager. Fass entered the service of Paramount on August 16, 1920 and has shown by diligent application his ability to handle a heavy portion of the detail incident to the Traffic Department of the Corporation. He is responsible for the booking of space and the routing of export shipments; the follow-up of deliveries due on film orders ; forwarding of commercial invoices and advice of shipments. He is direct assistant to Mr. Stilson and cooperates fully with the Domestic Department in relation to its traffic problems. About a year ago Fass was chief actor in a serious automobile accident and his many friends had grave cause for alarm. Mr. E. E. Shatter ordered him away on a leave of absence to recuperate and this undoubtedly saved his life. He has fully recovered and his associates are happy to note that he is now better equipped than ever before to carry on his end of the Paramount service. TELEPHONE SMILES There’s money in smiles sent by telephone. In all intercourse over the telephone no armor is so becoming, no influence so great, as a courteous and affable manner. It fosters good will in business. The manner in which you use the telephone indicates largely what you are. Customers naturally judge the service of the business you are connected with by the service they receive from you over the telephone; that is natural for you are a direct representative. The memory of our actions, kind or otherwise, may last forever. Smile over the telephone; the party at the other end of the line will notice it. Remember, when you answer your Company’s telephone, you are your Company. The impression you leave has a lot to do with the opinion the caller forms about your Company.— Book and Wrap. I am a successful man to the extent that I have a home; I am a burden to no one; I can borrow money at the bank on my note, and get credit at the stores; I have sufficient laid by to support me as long as I shall probably live and pay my funeral expenses. — Ed Howe. EIO. HUM! Our good friend Wit-Snapper, writing in the columns of the Florida Times-Union, has the following observation to pass: Woman, lovely woman — Isn’t she fair and sweet ? She wears more clothes -when she goes to bed Than she docs upon the street. STRAIGHT FROM THE HIRING LINE By Samuel S. Board, Director of the \ ale Graduate Placement Bureau (Reprinted from the Brooklyn Central Y. M. C. A. Magazine) There is a story which Cameron Beck, Personnel Director of the New York Stock Exchange, told me three years ago or so, which has so much meat in it, that it will bear repeating. He said that just a few weeks before our talk, one of the executives of a New York bank had taken a clerk who had been with the bank the past four years as his personal assistant. There happened to be another man in the same department who had been there ten years and wanted the position. The executive noticed his disappointment and called him into the office. The conversation which followed was something like this : “Jim, what’s the matter? You seem to be upset lately.” “Well, to tell the truth, Mr. Tones, I am upset. Tom has been here only four years and you’ve taken him in as your personal assistant. I’ve been here ten years and it seemed to me as if I should have had the chance.” “Is that so? That’s too bad. By the way, if you want to know anything about income tax procedure, to whom do you go?” “Why, to Tom. He knows that game pretty thoroughly.” “Yes, and if you want to know something about foreign exchange, to whom do you go?” , “Why, T guess I go to Tom.” “How about banking laws?” “Yes, I go to Tom about that, too.” “Well, Jim, I guess that’s the answer. I found myself going to Tom for all sorts of information so I decided to have him where it would be more convenient.” There is no need, of course, to point a moral to the story which was a true one, Mr. Beck assured me, but I would like to call attention to the fact that Tom made his information available to both his fellow employees and to his boss. So often we do one or the other instead of both. “Bredren,” said the colored preacher, “you have come to pray for rain. Bredren de foundation of religion am faith. Whar is yo’ faith? You comes to pray foh rain and not one of ! you brings his umbrella.”
