Bell and Howell to Establish Branch in London, England J. H. McNabb, president of the Bell and Howell Company, accompanied by Mrs. McNabb, has left for New Yourk enroute to London ion an extended business trip. McNabb, who is considered an authority in the manufacture and use of motion picture producing and processing equipment, will spend a day or two in New York at the branch office of his company, visiting with the professional film producers using Bell and Howell equipment located in that city, after which he and Mrs. McNabb will embark for London, England, where a new branch office is to be established.

Personal service is the foundation on which our business has been built and we feel that only by the establishing of a foreign branch office can we properly serve our increasingly large number of users in England and other countries." Upon leaving London the McNabbs will proceed to Paris. Their itinerary includes Berlin and other points in Europe. They intend to return to Chicago some time in May. Charles Van Enger, A. S.
