.. World of

Talent is a many- splendored thing. In the music business, it's the God -given gift of the artist, the inventiveness and imagination of the composer, the perception of the a &r man who brings them together, the polishing touches of the arranger, the administrative skills of the producer, and the market awareness of the promotion and merchandising men who take the final product and sing its praises to the world. Kama -Sutra Productions was founded two short years ago on the premise that these diverse types of talent could develop best in an atmosphere of mutual stimulation. The premise has paid off more than we dared hope. In the last fiscal year, more than 7,000,000 Kama -Sutra records have been providing entertainment for people from Seattle to Singapore. Kama -Sutra artists have been hitting the top of the pop charts with monoto- nous regularity. The fruit of the Kama -Sutra publishing firms has been eagerly sought after by leading record companies. And Kama -Sutra has become a name to be reckoned with in films and television. Key to Kama -Sutra's success is combining artistic freedom with sound business prac- tices. Our business is providing entertainment for the world. It's not merely a question of knowing what the public wants now, but what it will want tomorrow, next month, next year, and anticipating these wants.

INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION

Key link in the Kama -Sutra chain is Kama -Sutra Produc- tions, which has produced hit records for such labels as Columbia, MGM, Mercury, Kapp, Verve, Red Bird, Mala and Kismet, and worked with such artists as The Sand- pipers, The Fugitives, The Duprees, The Corvairs, The Shangri -Las, Chi Chi, The Critters, William Bonny, Monte Rock Ill, Victor & The Spoils, The Tymes and Youngblood Smith. We don't just sell masters to record companies. We build artists, create markets, establish identities. We plan beyond the next single. A hit single is soon for- gotten. An artist with staying power is one of the most valuable assets a record label can have. That's the way we operate our own label, and that's how we operate for labels with which we have contractual relationships. The day of the quick buck is gone. This is a serious business, and we treat it that way.

KAMA -SUTRA RECORDS

The artist roster on Kama -Sutra Records isn't a large one, but it's solid. The Lovin` Spoonful never misses - "Do You Believe in Magic ?" "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice" and "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind ?" for example. And there's The Spoonful's latest "Sum- KAMA - ARTIE RIPP HY AF' mer in the City" - which sold 250,000 copies within a week of its release. But The Spoonfuls aren't the only

Kama -Sutra artists. There's Robert Dobyne, The Good - times, Bobby Mann and The Tradewinds. We expect these artists to be around for a long time. And we don't only think in terms of records - radio, television, films and personal appearances are all components in our total entertainment approach. Sure, we try to sell records. But we believe that the artist is more than a property to be pushed in front of a mike at recording sessions. We sell records because we build artists like Louie Prima and Vince Edwards, who have recently been signed by Frank Mell, Executive Vice-President. 1650 Broadway,

The cover -up operation, despite the modest outlay required, not only made the machines look better than anyone had imagined they would, but was reflected in a noticeable spurt in the take. And if the appearance of the machines is important, the ap- pearance of the men is even more so. Neatness is a watch- word. "We want to make a good im- pression on our customers," says Squitero. "And we want them to feel that we're going to make a good impression on their patrons. When one of our men or servicemen walks into their place of business, he's got to be neat and well -groomed." Shoes are checked for shines and faces are checked for close shaves before the men go out on their morning calls. A shoe- shine kit, blades and razors are kept in the shop, so that if a serviceman feels the need for a shave or shine in the middle of the day, he can take it. PERIODIC REMEASUREMENT of all Hirsh employees is conducted by uniform supply company to insure perfect fit. All details in Look Sharp clothing routemen are handled by the uniform firm. Uniforms consist of a cotton shirt and blue jacket and trous- ers made of Wellington Sears "NM Executone, a worsted -like blend of Dacron Polyester and Arvil Rayon. The Hirsh emblem ap- pears over the right breast pocket, and the wearer's name is embroidered at the left. Each man on a service or col- lection route gets a clean shirt change daily. Trousers are changed three times a week. Be- tween changes, Exec u t o n e's crease -resistant finish helps the men to look sharp. Until last year, Hirsh's men wore cotton uniforms in sum- mer, switching over to heavier garments in cold weather. "But we were never happy with the appearance of the cotton uni- forms," says Squitero. "And the men sometimes complained that the winter -weight uniforms were too warm for riding around in trucks or working heated places. Then our uniform supply serv- ice suggested that we try a year - round uniform of a different type of fabric entirely." The fabric suggested was the worsted -style mentioned above, just recently developed.
