Good revenue has been brought to the Ad. Sales Departments in Sydney and Melbourne from a tie-up arranged by Bob White, Exploitation Manager, with a dress and hat manufacturing company who are making dresses and hats worn by stars in Paramount pictures. Orders for 820 (8 X 10) Stills for “LOVE ME TO-NIGHT” and “BLONDE VENUS” have already been attended to, while an order of 5,000 Photogravure Star Heads is at present in hand. This illustrates that, apart from the excellent free publicity obtained, there is also plenty of extra revenue to be picked up.
Once again IV. Bignell, Adelaide Ad. Sales Manager, must be congratulated on the splendid sales of 24-sheets that have been made to his first release house. The latest sales were 9 x 24 sheets for "LOVE ME TONIGHT" a n d 7 X 24 sheets for "LIFE COES ON".
