14 PARAMOUNT PEP “The Covered Wagon” Arrives in Cleveland You need only to glance at the above photo to see the hearty reception accorded “The Covered Wagon” when it arrived in Cleveland. It was heartily greeted by every member of our exchange there. Reading from left to right in the photo they are: Miss Ipe, A1 Kotelas, Mr. Sladdin, Ray Morris, Jerry Krupka, John McGreevy, Miss Theis, Miss Jun, Mrs. Friedy, Miss Attwood, Miss Labowitch, Miss Cousins, Mark Cummings, three Paramount Exhibitors. On the wagon, Frank Harwood and Misses Trugman, Shields and Waltz. Boston Brevities By Jad As this goes to press, Gus Schaefer, salesman in Zone 4 (Western Mass.), leads in the 13 weeks' drive ending July 1st. It is a close and exciting race. PERSONAL PRIDE, coupled with PERSONAL EFFORT will surely bring home the bacon. Another knockout! “THE NE’ER-DO-WELL." We have all met Tom Meighan here personally and it’s a pleasure to record our approbation of his genius. For some reason this branch is rarely favored with visits from H. O. executives. Therefore, we are more than pleased to announce a visit just paid us by Mr. Ballance. He tells us it’s like a visit to his old home town as he was at one time District Manager here. Mr. Scates, our Branch Manager, has inaugurated a system that facilitates prompt booking of contracts. A card system indicates date each contract was submitted to booker. This 1 to 31 file constitutes an infallible followup It puts the individual booker on his merit, gauging his efficiency under fire. It’s a good system because it WORKS. Atlanta Arcs By Mabel B. Akins M. L. Stevens, our peppy zone four salesman, was in the Exchange during the past week, having just completed a very successful trip thru his zone. Our picnic on Sunday, April 29th, participated in by all departments of this Exchange, was a great success. The party journeyed out to Jester’s Old Mill where the usual picnic features such as boating, bathing, fishing, etc. were enjoyed. With the coming of Spring comes the desire for the new home. Thus our Branch Manager, Mr. Dave Prince, has just completed the building of his beautiful country heme on the Roswell Road. Quite a few of our young ladies have joined the class that aspires to get fat — and drinking sweet milk seems to produce the result. So it is often heard around the exchange “just think I have gained two pounds” or “next week I am going to start drinking six pints a day.” A Happy Trio You all know who the gentleman on the left is without looking twice, but the other two are Mrs. Theodore Roberts and Mr. Leslie Wilkes, Branch Manager of our Dallas Exchange. When Mr. and Mrs. Roberts were in Dallas they of course couldn’t leave without first visiting our Exchange there. Everyone there welcomed the Grand Old Man with open arms, for they are always glad to see him and he is most popular with everyone.
