G. W. Spahr Leaves For
Trip to Pacific Coast

G. w. Spahr, salesmanager for the
Elliott-Fisher Company. Is on an ex-
tended business trip to the Pacific
coast. A stop of several days will
be made at Chicago to attend the
annual business show in that city.
From there Mr.. Spahr goes to San
Francisco, then by automobile to
Los Angeles. back to San Francisco,
from there to Portland, Seattle,
Vancouver. B. c.. to Spokane and
return to Chicago, arriving in Har-
risburg about December Is.
This trip is the fulfillment OF a
promise given by Mr.. Spahr to the
men in the Pacific district when
they attended the Elliott-Fisher field
force convention in Harrisburg last
July to the effect that the year would
not close without visit from the
general sales manager into the far
west district OF the Elliott Fisher
organization.
An interesting diversion arranged
for Mr.. Spahr by District Manager
F. F. Wright, of San Francisco, is
five-day big game hunt in the
mountains OF Northern California.
The Elliott-Fisher field force
again broke all former records by
selling 1869 per cent. OF its quota
during October. This is for straight
machine sales and does not include
foreign business. October is the
sixth consecutive month that the
Elliott-Fisher Company's sales have
exceeded the quota set. Since Sep
tember higher quotas have been set
for each of the remaining months
Of this year. The field force has re-
sponded by overselling these quotas.
The sales for November to the pres
ent date indicate that a still higher
mark will be made.
