Simplex Distributors Visit the Home Office A RECENT distributor visitor to the Simplex plant was L. H. Francis, general sales manager of the Teco Products Manufacturing Company, Loeb Arcade Building, Minneapolis, which holds the distributing franchise for Simplex in Minnesota, the Dakotas, Northern and Eastern Iowa and Northern and Western Wisconsin. Mr. Francis, who, with George Feinberg, organized the Teco Company, took occasion to bring a batch of Simplex orders in person to the home office and to see that the Simplex orders already at the factory were started moving. Order for 125 Simplexes. At the present time the Teco Company has orders for at least 125 Simplexes at the factory, and so great has been the demands for this popular projector in its territory that Messrs. Feinberg and Francis are planning on a cross-country motor truck delivery service in order that the theatres waiting for installations may not be inconvenienced by the service characterizing the several transportation companies today. Mr. Francis reports that the Teco Company has just taken over the franchise for the National distribution in theatres, schools and churches of the "Safe and Sure" fire extinguisher, early advance orders on which indicate that this will prove a most popular accessory. Boston Simplex Manager Here. Sam Merchant, for years with the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation and known to practically every film man and exhibitor in New England, is now the manager of the Boston Motion Picture Supply Company. This company, of which Harry Asher, also late with the Famous Players Company is the head, has just opened up its new headquarters at 69 Church street, Boston. Mr. Merchant spent several days at the Simplex factory, and reports that the theatres in the cities of Fall River and New Bedford are rapidly following the lead taken by other New England cities in installing Simplex. Among recent installations are those for the Boston Theatre (a Keith house), and the Congress Hall Theatre. Mr. Merchant brings with him to his new position, the best wishes of hundreds of friends throughout New England, while Mr. Asher, since severing his connections with Famous Players Company, will devote a great deal of his personal attention to the affairs of his company. Webster Was Also There. Another visitor was George G. (Electric) Webster, the dynamic head of the Webster Electric Company, Simplex distributor in Washington, D. C, Western Maryland and Northern Virginia. According to Mr. Webster, the number of Simplex Projectors being installed in and around his territory far exceeds his fondest expectations. A recent order of 25 Mazda equipped Simplexes for use in a branch of the War L apartment was particularly pleasing to Mr. Webster, who keeps in close touch with the numerous government departments as is evidenced by the large number of Simplexes now in use in the buildings comprising the seat of Government. Take a Day Off and Read "Argus Ideas"— It's Bully THE June issue of "Argus Ideas" has just reached our desk. It's a bird of a house organ with a cover in blue and gold with a peacock perching at the top. Besides breaking the glad news of the acquisition of the Swanson Equipment Company by the Argus Enterprises, Inc., and the latter's appointment as exclusive West Coast distributors for Fulco products, the contents includes many other interesting items. Among these should be mentioned a glance at the recent Cleveland Convention from the spiritualistic viewpoint and a thrilling narrative of how a compatriot of the late Christopher Columbus was filmed in the act of working which in these days constitutes considerable of a crime if permitted to continue unchecked. The new Argus lamp setter, the Argus G. E. motor generator, a ticket chopper that converts admissions into breakfast food and the Lightning coin changer are served up in a style calculated to make every exhibitor want several and our old friend George Washington Armstrong is cartooned in the act of bringing home the bacon in a very classy looking grip. Please keep us on the mailing list.

Monsoon Draws Big Crowd at the Cleveland Convention ONE of the most interesting and popular exhibitions at the recent Cleveland convention was the demonstration of an eight-foot Monsoon blower in the lobby of the Hotel Winton, personally conducted by "Monsoon" Dailey, president of the Monsoon Cooling System, Inc. This enormous blower was so perfectly balanced that a little ten-inch desk fan propelled the blades at a good rate of speed. The novel demonstration aroused a great amount of interest among the exhibitors at the convention and drew goodsized crowds. Mr. Dailey had many interesting things to say about this system, which is designed especially for theatre cooling and ventilating, and the demonstration led to the signing up of several big orders. "Monsoon" Dailey is going to make an extended trip through the South very soon to get acquainted with the exhibitors in that section of the country.
