Both com E E shauer pany executives were present at the opening of the lavish Paramount Theatre in Paris, and both before and since that time they have covered a tremendous amount of territory. London, Berlin, Rome, Paris, Brussels and other great cities have had visits by them, and in all places they have received superenthusiastic welcomes from the Paramounteers in the offices there. Although Mr. E. E. Shauer has been to Europe a great many times in his capacity of general manager of the entire Foreign Department, this is Melville Shauer’s first visit to Europe in civilian clothes, he having been there on a previous occasion as an officer of the A.E.F. According to present plans, Mr. E. E. Shauer will return within a few weeks, while it is possible that Melville Shauer will remain to study Ad Sales conditions still further, since in addition to his duties as Domestic Ad Sales Manager, he is to take over the duties of Ad Sales Manager for the entire world. funds before fun FROM THE STOREHOUSE PEPSTERS Catherine Hagen has been transferred from the Storehouse to the Home Office Puchasing Department.

Charlotte Schlauch has been named the Sphinx of the Storehouse. Melville A. Shauer A BRIEF RESUME OF THE LAST GENERAL MEETING On November 15th last, an almost record attendance of the Club members, sitting on desks and overturned w.p.b.’s in the eleventh floor well, heard the proposals and discussions which directly led to the pleasant surroundings in which this, the following general meeting, is being held. President Trotta, using somebody or other’s desk as the recipient of his gavel’s buffetings, spoke his pleasure at addressing the meeting, and took the record attendance as an augury for the success of the current year. He called for reports from the various committee chairmen. All reported splendid progress. Louis S. Diamond, protesting against the holding of general meetings under such conditions as the one he was addressing, advanced the proposal which is its own vindication this evening. The Chairman of the Co-operative Buying Committee, Alice Blunt, promised wonders in the bargain line for the Christmas sales, and has been delivering the goods ever since. Chairman of the Rules Committee, Leon M. Saveli, asked the members for proposed suggestions in the changing of certain rules. The best of these suggestions will be broadcast among the members. Briefly, all of the chairmen reported progress and a bright outlook ahead. The Ways and Means Committee, comprising the Chairmen of the various committees, is doing herculean work in consolidating the Club’s finances and in the raising of an adequate sum of money for the super-successful functioning of the Club. funds before fun STRIKE UP THE BAND!
