Paramount Pep-O-Grams (1927)

Page Four P E P-O-G RAMS YOU KNOW WHAT THE DOCTOR IS FOR— AND WHERE HE IS ll c go to the doctor not for common sense at the beginning , but for magic at the end. In those celebrated words of Robert Lynd we find a veritable wealth of truth. The truth about those thoughtless humans who know that they should go to see a doctor about some trifling ill, but who procrastinate up to the point where their ill has developed into something which only a miracle can cure. There isn’t a single individual member of the Paramount Pep Club who has any excuse for needing the second half of the quotation to be applied to him, or her! We are gifted beyond the limits of ordinary good fortune by having right in our midst one of the finest Welfare and Medical Departments in all the field of commerce and industry: a department where the simple ills which later develop into the troublesome maladies unless checked, can be halted and cured. No service stands more readily and willing to heed your call and your necessity than does that of Dr. E. Stern’s department. And if you make the practice of going to him with common sense at the beginning, you will not have the agony of fruitlessly looking for miracles at the end. In other words — the Welfare and Medical Department is yours! It is for your use and The folloiving has been reprinted from a recent issue of The New York Times with an eye and a half on the fact that somewhere between its 1 ines there is a more than casual allusion to the fact that if more organisations had as fine a Medical and Welfare Department as Paramount has, the number set forth as two mil, ion would be very considerably reduced. 2,000,000 Americans Are 111 on Any One Day, Says Doctor ALBANY, May 24. — Dr Thomas P. Farmos of Syracuse told the New York State Medical Society today that about 2,000,000 persons in the United States were ill on any one day in the year. The average worker lost eight days a year through illness, and one in four families was ill once a year, he said. S^atist’cs showed that patients were row discharged from hospitals four days earlier as a rule than were patients in 1924, he added. disposal. It is handy, comforting and above all, cheerful. You owe it to yourself, your folks and your company to make use of its services whenever such services are needed by you. A SPECIAL PICNIC ISSUE OF PEP-O-GRAMS will be distributed on the Steamer. It will carry full sports program and other news. THE FIRST YEAR IS ALWAYS THE TOUGHEST! Statistics have always proven this to be the case. In the first year of commercial business, the first year of the marriage business, and the first year of retirement after a crowded business life, it has proven an infallible rule: and in the first year of conducting a house organ it is truer than in any other case. If a chap can run a house organ for a Club of a thousand members for a year, and so conduct his adjectives, nouns and verbs as not to receive a bomb in his editorial sanctum, or a libel case in his personal estate — then he can turn back to his long-forgotten prayers and say an extra measure of them as a gesture of thanks. All of which is simply a prologue to our observation that our kindred house organ on the other side of the American continent — Paramount Studio News — has with its issue of May 23rd, rounded out one year of most worth while service. We don't have to sell you on the excellent qualities and qualifications of Paramount Studio News. It’s a breezy, readable and sparkling publication which has attained that high and practical art of serving at the one i time the Paramount organization which inspired the Studio Club, and the Studio Club which in turn has inspired the organization. In other words, it blends personal and busi j ness news in a manner which makes its every i word to be read by every reader. In its present status of being under the editorial guidance of A1 Wilkie, Paramount Studio News achieves the highwater mark of excellence of its entire existence.
