READ BEFORE YOU SIGN
" i
—* Officials and others who have the habit of signing docu
ments without reading them may take warning from what
recently happened to Comrade Isakhanoy, director of a Sov
iet government shoe factory in Tiflis.
A Russian periodical called The Crocodile was waging
a campaign against inefficient officials, and its editors sus
pected that Isakhanoy was not sufficiently diligent in his job.
By some means it was arranged to have a fake letter present
ed to him for signature, along with routine documents plac
ed on his desk each day. Isakhanoy fell into the trap, and
this is what he signed without reading it.
“Through some misunderstanding I was promoted to the
post of factory director. I seldom go to the workshops. I do
everything I should not do, and do not what I should. I am
a fool. Everybody knows that and I inform you as well. I
am ready to sign any paper without reading it. I am proving
this to you herewith. (Signed) G. Isakhanoy.”
The Crocodile published the letter and razzed the un
lucky shoe factory head so unmercifully that it is said he will
be forced out of his job and kicked out of the Communist
party as well.
Moral: Don’t sign anything before reading it—and sel
dom sign it afterward.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite
Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of Commerce of The Unit
ed States, says:
“The increase in newspaper advertising such as wit
nessed in 1934 may be viewed both as a cause and as ^n effect.
Advertising lineage has long been considered barometric of
business conditions. Certainly 1934 was no exception. The
increased volume of newspaper advertising in the past year
was accompanied by a general rise in business activity. Like
wise, information now available indicates larger press adver
tising appropriations on the part of industrial organizations
for 1935, an indication of growing confidence in business
prospects.
Besides serving as a barometer, the increase in advertis-j
ing in the past year and enlarged advertising budgets for
1935 will continue to stimulate business. It is a well verified
fact that advertising through the public press is a most val
uable means of building business and of directing it along;
economic lines. A well-planned program of this character;

contributes both to the elimination of wasteful buying and
to the greater volume of trading. Such is vital to stable and
lasting recovery.
“Business encouragement is prompted not only by the
quantity of advertising, but also by the quality of the adver
tising displays. There is now a marked and growing appre
ciation of clearer, more revealing and more appealing ad
vertising. This is supported by an appreciation of research
and statistical knowledge as a basis for projecting advertis
ing, bringing a more scientific approach, more economic and
effective methods in presenting the products to the customer
and consumer. ,
“The better quality and larger volume of newspaper
advertising prove to be unfounded fears that the future of
newspaper advertising is threatened. I confidently predict
bright prospects for all good advertising in 1935.”

“Air Hostess” An
Aviation Romance
At Dream Sunday
The romance b^iind commercial
aviation is brought to the screen for
the first time in Columbia’s film,
“Air Hostess.” which opens Sunday
at the Dream Theatre.
War aviation has been glorified in
a series of splendid productions, not
ably “Wings,” “Hell’s Angels” and
“Dirigible,” but never before has a
picture company shown the glm^r
behind one of the few most fascinat:
ing businesses in America today.
“Air Hostess” is the story of one
of those charming, adventurous girls
who fly the huge transcontinental
air lines for a living—in Los Angel
es today, then in Cheyenne, Wyom
ing, then Chicago, then Cleveland,
and within two days in New York
City. Their life is fraught with ex
citement and absorbing interesting
human experience, they meet cel
ebrities, get to know life, and spend
all their working hours in the sky.
Motion pictures often have been
derided in the past because of their
technical faults. That is, aviators
have found fault with the way cer
tain flying incidents have been pic
tured, doctors have said that opera
tions were performed incorrectly,
lawyers have complained that the
correct courtroom procedure was not
followed.
A1 Rogell, is one director who do
esn’t believe in letting these fault
finders discover anything wrong in
his films. He has a system which
prevent this very thing—personal re
search.
Weeks before he began production
of the film, Rogell spent several
days at the United Airport in Holly
wood, the largest in the West, inter-;
viewing executives, fliers and air
hosjesses themselves, so that various
isituations they planned for their
story would not be askew.
Evalyn Knapp. James Murray and
Thelma Todd have principal roles in
the production adapted for the
screen by Keene Thompson and Mil
ton Raison.
