Paramount Pep (1922)

Paramount Pep 7 “Fischer’s Complications” Irving Fischer, Minneapolis Accessories Manager, is “Fanfoto Foolish” and also has Rotoniania, and Window Carditis. Herald trouble and congestion of the gilt frame have been some of the complications from which he has been suffering. 116 gilt frames in one week is not so bad. On heralds for the last five weeks he has averaged about 50,000, Fanfotos about 4,000 and Roto Sections about 5,000. We hope there are no doctors in the Minneapolis territory ! “Stansfield’s Paramount Week” The Dallas Accessories Manager turned in the largest individual accessories week for the Drive, chalking up $3,646.08 net accessories sales for Paramount Week itself. He hit off 366 twenty-fours and 64,000 roto sections and this doesn’t mean that Stansfield has been asleep during any of the other weeks for he has maintained a consistently wonderful average. Among other things, during the last seven weeks he has sold 792 twenty-four sheets and 2,153 six sheets. “Holloway Helps” H. Holloway, Philadelphia Accessories Manager, thru the results obtained in his Department during the last few weeks, has certainly helped to fill the Accessories Bin. In the last six weeks he sold 122 Gilt Frames and as for roto sections, fanfotos, trailers, we can’t count high enough to tell you how many he sold. Philadelphia is not an easy teritory in which to sell accessories. We would like him to give us an article telling of some of his obstacles and how he overcomes them. “More About Davis” Roy Davis, Pittsburgh Accessories Manager, who gave us our accessories slogan, “IF IT'S WORTH SHOWING IT’S WORTH ADVERTISING,” is practicing what he preaches. Temporarily he has developed a sudden desire to eclipse any former window card sales. Two thousand or twenty-five hundred a week are nothing to Roy. He says he would like to furnish exhibitors with tacks, string, or glue to put them up. And incidentally, he hasn’t neglected any of the other items so far as his reports will tell. Keeping ’Em Up Mr. A. L. Proske, recently appointed Accessories Manager at Denver, is keeping his accessories sales at a very handsome level. Proske, too, is receiving great cooperation from the other members of the Exchange and is right on the job all the time to put over the Denver Accessories Department in A-No. 1 shape. They’ll Dress Up Any Window Above is a reproduction of the window card on “To Have an To Hold.” You can see without us pointing out to you it is cue of the most attractive to date and one that will do justice to the most eclusive window in town. The coloring is positively heautiful on this — not overdone and such that will catch the person’s eye if said person were running. Show this to your exhibitor and take his order now. The production backs the accessories and vice versa. “Wilkes-Barre Starts With a Bang” Mr. Welton Waters, Accessories Manager at Wilkes-Barre, our newest E.xchange, has been starting things right off in a hustle. WilkesBarre has already sold 36 gilt frames, 4,000 fanfotos and 205 insert cards. During the three weeks which they have been operating, the accessories business has increased steadily each week. This is exceptionally commendable and we know that it isn’t going to end right then and there.
