34 HERBERT LLOYD'S VAUDEVILLE GUIDE >.. 1 ri£j*.. Herbert Lloyd ACT REPORT^^ CARD INDEX FILE. Sold by THE HERBERT LLOYD CO. Greenwood Lake, N. Y. Of particular value to agents and easy to carry when calling on a "Booker" to prove act's value as only the card is carried and not the file box which remains in the office. With several unfiled cards in their pocket a booker, manager or agent is always in a position to fill out quickly a personal report and opinion on acts seen by them in any theatre that they may happen to visit and file for future reference. Also used by local managers as a report card to the home office. This is an information card as well as a report, showing style of act, number of people, etc., invaluable in arranging a bill and avoiding confiiction. These cards are filed behind the proper index letter in the file box (supplied with each outfit) and nothing but "live" information appears as all "dead" or old report cards are placed in the extreme rear of the file box and a new up-to-date record card substituted in the regular index. NOTE—Herbert Lloyd is a card index and commercial System expert as previous to enteriing vaudeville he was Philadelphia manager for the Yawman & Erbe Mfg. Co. of Rochester, N. Y., one of the largest business system firms in the "vv^orld. This outfit is sold close to cost more as an advertising than a profit making proposition. Below is what a few prominent bookers think of this system: "* * * Useful to the representatives of the Booking Office in making reports on new acts."—Harry T. Jordan, Mgr. Keiths, Philadelphia. "Index is of great value. * * * You have covered the matter in a very thorough and comprehensive manner."—Wm. Delaney, U. B. O., N. Y. "A very useful article."—Chas. J. Freeman, Western Vaudeville Managers' Association. "It is the most complete of the kind I have ever seen."—John J. Nash, Asst. Gen'l. Mgr. W. V. M. A. "A very good idea."—P. Alonzo, Representative for the Poll Theatres. "A big help to me in putting shows together. My only regret is that I did not have such a complete report file years ago. It lessens the guess work that we all have to contend with."—Edw. Shayne, W. V. M. A., Chicago. "I have not found anything to equal your new system."—Ray H. Leason, Booking Manager Gus Sun.
