4 Paramount Pep “BUT ABOVE ALL THINGS, TRUTH BEARETH AWAY THE VICTORY” This Publication is Distributed Only to Officials and Employees of the FAMOUS PLAYERS-LASKY CORPORATION Its Contents are Strictly Confidential PAUL L. MORGAN Editor , Vol. 7 OCTOBER 2, 1922 No. 13 Are You Building? We heard this one the other day and its applied psychology fits every-day life. The story is this: Three men with a wheel-barrow were working around a rock pile. A traveler passed. “What are you fellows doing?” he asked. “Breaking rock,” said one. “Earning five dollars a day,” said the other. “Helping to build that cathedral over there,” I the third replied. I H ere are three men — yes, three salesmen in their class of work, each holding their ultimate opinion of their daily task. The laborer today ' is a salesman just as you and I and his duty to those by whom he is employed is to DG HIS WORK WELL, at the same time holding an ultimate thought as to just what he is working for. The chap who said he was helping to build the cathedral you can bet will be the “foreman of the gang” before long, for he had passed the stage of constant thought upon his daily earnings in dollars and cents and broken the rock so well that his mind was on what was being built. We are all breaking rock in this big business enterprise but are we interested in its disposition ? The success cathedral of Famous Players lies primarily in the breaking of the rock, but unless we are building with the rest we will ALWAYS be breaking the stones and looking for our five bucks a day — no more. Let’s all be foremen on the job — build with Paramount and Paramount will build for you. Draw up your blue prints — put in the best of material — use real brick and stone — build on a solid foundation — then Paramount will furnish the inside. There are a lot of vacant lots that could stand a good building, and, too, there are a great many buildings that are sorely in need of repair. To these your interest should be centered — then after you have made the necessary improvements, return to the accounts you have in your books and whether you think they need attention or not — be a good Paramount con Men We Know Zip ! Look out hoys here comes our Traffic Manager, Palmer H. Stilson of our Foreign Department under IL E. Shauer. Palmer's hohhy is “motoring” and oftimes while worrying about a certain shipment to South Africa or the South Pole, he blows right on by the traffic c. p w ho manages to get a quick glance at a trail of smoke — no, not from the car but his famous pipe. He’s a Model Now M. S. (Mike) Landow'. Sales Manager at tlie Philadelphia Exchange, now comes in for his share of popularity in being the target for the wellknown artist. Miss Dorothea Fisher. When Miss Fisher chanced a little visit to our Exchange there recently she sketched this charcoal drawing of our friend Mike, better known as Philadelphias Young Rajah. Notice Will the Exchange who forwarded InterBranch Shipping Memorandum No. 624, for two slides on “ONE A MINUTE,” shipped to the STAR THEATRE, New Hartford, Conn., kindly get in touch with Mr. Frawley immediately? tractor and see that the occupants are well satisfied. When an exhibitor sees your display of interest after he has booked and is playing, you can place a safe bet on future business and everlasting goodwill. HI. >>.
