6 Paramount Pep Rh* Branch Managers’ Comments “I have requested the salesmen for accessories orders to be written on the face of the contracts covering ‘ADAM’S RIB,' ‘THE COVERED WAGON,’ ‘BELLA DONNA,’ ‘HOLLYWOOD.’ It is better to do this at the time the contract is taken than later. It can be done and we are going to try to do it.” H. G. ROSEBAUM. ‘‘I have taken up with each of my salesmen the absolute necessity of giving accessories sales their most earnest attention. I am going to watch every contract which comes in to the office for an accessories order accompanying it.” MEL S. WILSON. “A snappy line of advertising matter assists us in securing better prices. Our sales force realize that they are under just as much obligation delivering accessories results as they are on film.” R. D. THOMSON. Accessories Managers ‘‘Our assistance will be given to the Accessories Department so that it may deliver over the quota set for it.” C. M. HILL. “We have taken the matter of accessories sales more to heart than ever before. Yesterday afternoon we held a very enthusiastic meeting and the boys, one and all, gave assurance that they would consider no sales complete until accessories matters had been thoroughly considered.” O. V. TRAGGARDH. “We have been kidding ourselves for a long wffiile that accessories are secondary in the selling of film, but it is my firm belief that a picture is not properly sold without a suitable accessories order to go with it, as one is positively helpless without the other.” GEO. P. ENDERT. “I am demanding specific, personal supervision from the salesmen on accessories orders and they are going to sell from the standpoint of the picture being ‘only so good as its advertising possibilities,’ or as good as we make it ourselves.” O. WOG. “I am heartily in accord with the idea in not accepting contracts on the larger productions without representative accessories orders.” A. B. LEAK, Sioux Falls. “Everyone in my two Exchanges is heartily in accord with the thought of selling .more accessories on this Group than ever before. Accessories mean a great deal toward more successful runs.” R. C. LIBEAU. This is Where You Stood for Week Ending February 3rd Based on percentage of accessories quota delivered. 1. Pittsburgh. 2.
