20 Universal Weekly July 6, 1929 THEY’RE COM1NC No. 645 — Straight from the Shoulder Talk by Carl Laemmle, President of the Universal Pictures C orporation. WITH the happiest hearts which ever throbbed in their manly buzzums, the gentlemen of the Universal sales force are all set for you. Their conventions are over. They have seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears some of the pictures from Universal’s master line-up for 1929-1930. Now they want you to see and hear them. They know they have the most salable product any one company ever turned out and if there’s anything which gives a salesman a joyous kick it is the knowledge that you want what he’s got! Universalites are always peppy, but this year we have built a bonfire under them in the form of quality product which has fired their enthusiasm to the highest point. To know that you are going to make fat profits from what l they sell you — to know that you are going to get more joy and more success from your Universal connection than you ever got before — these are the things which this year bring the light of victory to the eyes of the Universal salesmen.
