Still Men
Still men, you are selling a finished print to your employer — nothing more. The quality of the print he receives is his means of measuring your ability. It is of vital importance that you insist that your finishing be done in shops capable of giving the highest quality of service.
These shops are not the cut-rate establishments your employer might be induced to patronize.
The highest quality of commercial finishing in Hollywood today is being done in studios owned and operated by members of Local No. 659. In every instance these men are endeavoring to standardize quality and price. The non-Union, cut-rate men are tearing down both with inferior material, cheap chemicals, cheap help, and high pressure salesmanship to your employer.
Still men, it's up to you. Don't let them get away with it. You are the ones who suffer, because your employer judges your ability by the prints delivered to his desk.
Sell Union-finished stills to your employer. Show him that a few cents more for standardized finishing means dollars to the lobby display. The Union-finishers are with vou on this
move. They will co-operate with you 100 per cent. They are prepared to deliver the highest standard of finishing because they are able to give the greatest care to their work, employ only the highest skilled workmen, and use the very best material obtainable.
Your employer is a business man. If you explain the situation he will realize in a moment that you are right. He patronizes the cut-rate finisher because the 'just as good" sales talk got to him before you did.
Thanks, Mack
Brother Macklyn Stengler recently presented to the organization a fine walnut gavel which henceforth will hold sway on the chairman's desk at all meetings.
