TRADE MARK SYMBOLIZES PARAMOUNT-PUBLIX UNITY
By SAM KATZ, President
of Publix Theatres Corporation
‘'Publix is cognizant of Paramount's needs, and everyone must recognize it as part of our ‘one big family ’ wherein we are all working for the common good."
rf''HE above was portion of a message written over my signature and incorporated in a recent issue of “Publix Opinion,” official organ of Publix Theatres Corporation. The article was headed “Paramount Trade Mark Ordered in All Publix Newspaper Ads.”
It seems to my mind eminently fitting that the Paramount Trade Mark should serve as the greatest symbol of unity between these two great organizations of Paramount and Publix. From the days of its very inception more than fifteen years ago it has carried the prestige, power and popularity of Paramount into all parts of the world ; and in the United States, as elsewhere, it has made the word “Paramount” synonymous with the finest in motion pictures.
And if the Paramount Trade Mark symbolizes the organization as a world institution, the Paramount-Pep Club is the symbol of its spirit. Here in a club of a thousand members we find the personnels of Paramount and Publix merged in the happy and successful pursuit of the finest types of ideals. Its very name shows that it is both “paramount” and of Paramount; while its success is measured by the fact that it steps tonight beyond the completion of its eighth year into a finer and even more promising ninth year of service to the spirit of the Company.
It is a very vital service, too. Day by day the scope and importance of Paramount and Publix is increasing. Day by day, new requirements conscript many from the ranks and thrust them into the larger duties and responsibilities that carry them another long step in their careers. All about you are the signs of opportunity in these two organizations.
Opportunity has its component parts of Ability and Fellowship. One must have these both to progress: to have Ability and not Fellowship — and by that I mean the admiration and respect of one’s fellow workers — is simply to go so far and no farther. The same holds true with the man, or the woman, who has Fellowship and not the requisite Ability to forge to the top.
It has been in the merging of these two vital factors that the Paramount-Pep Club has played so important a part. In its associations it has brought out all of the good traits of its members and has fused them into a spirit which in serving the Company has also served the member to just as great a degree.
As members of this Paramount-Pep Club — the Club of Paramount and Publix — you should forever remember this. It serves more than ever to show that the Club is as imperative an ingredient in the organization at the Crossroads of the World as the Paramount Trade Mark is to the organization which encompasses the world itself.
