Philadelphians Prepared To Capitalize Big Opportunity Field Cheered As Wobber Approves Another Big Batch Of Deals And Sees Immediate Step-Up In Revenue For The Drive For the first time since K-7 selling started last Spring, the volume for a week ran ahead of the corresponding lap of 1938. That happened this week when Mr. Wobber approved what constituted the largest batch of K-7 contracts on which he has passed in three months. And this total was substantially in excess of the volume approved on K-6 during the corresponding week last season. In addition, the Contract Department was working on circuit contracts embracing several hundred other situations. These deals had been previously approved, but have not yet been entered in the K-7 sales register, according to Contract Manager Jack Bloom. Release of “The Rains Came” and trade showings on “Hollywood Cavalcade” have served as the greatest stimulant to date insofar as sales is concerned. Field reaction to Mr. Wobber’s approval of another big batch of propositions was extremely enthusiastic. This was evident from the enthusiasm with which district and branch managers, but mostly salesmen, wrote to this department in the past few days. That there will be an immediate improvement in weekly revenue as the result of the release of big pictures and approval of some 600 contracts in less than 10 days was the belief of the field. They substantiated this claim by directing attention to the substantial jump in their bookings. Outstanding performer continues to be Landis’ Indianapolis. The Hoosiers are gaining consistently in all departments. On K-7 feature sales status they advanced from 22nd to 17th place, but Cohn’s Pittsburghers still showed the way, some six points ahead of Wheeler’s Washington, with Walker’s Salt Lake Citians making rapid strides. The Mormons are now in third place, 1.6 behind Washington and 1.1 stronger than Young’s Memphisans whom they vaulted. Callahan’s Bostonians are due for an even greater advance than they enjoyed this week. North- eastern District Manager Tom H. Bailey was in New York this week and returns to Boston with a healthy batch of deals okayed by Mr. Wobber. This week Boston’s status leaped to No. 15, a gain of four. It is now only one point behind Ballentine’s San Francisco. Mayer’s Des Moines, too, took on added strength and jumped from 24 to 20, within four-tenths of a mark of Kansas City, which dropped three, as did Milwaukee. March’s St. John and Buxbaum’s New York climbed two and one, respectively. Among the divisions and districts there were no changes in sales status. Moss’ Atlantic is still first, leading Ballance’s South this week by 8.5 points. Scott’s Midwest was 6.1 under South and 2.9 above Coast which topped Bailey’sNortheast by 1.6. Levy’s Prairies follow, 1.3 under Northeast and 5.2 ahead of Roberts’ Mideast. Great Lakes trailed the latter by 7.4 and led O’Loghlin’s Canada by 3.9. Kupper’s West is exactly nine points stronger than Sussman’s East and 17.1 above Gehring’s Centrals.
