Jimmy Stewart was seen one night in 1933 in New York performing on stage as a female impersonator by an MGM talent scout. He was signed to a contract to come to California to work for the prestigious studio. Studio Head Louis B. Mayer expressed doubt when he first saw him Milan Lucic Oilers Jersey ,"He's so skinny! A beanpole." Efforts were made to put weight on him, the 133 pound actor was constantly sharing butterfingers candy bars with Ann Miller which seemed to fatten her up more than him.

If Mayer was unimpressed by his new star's physique, his behavior was a refreshing change compared to some of the prima donnas at MGM like the usually drunk Spencer Tracy, or the demanding to be alone all the time Greta Garbo. Stewart never complained about his salary or workload. Whatever the task be it screen tests or B-movies, he was always on time and knew his lines Brandon Manning Oilers Jersey , although sometimes his trademark stammering lead to extra takes. If they loaned him to a lesser studio like Columbia, he was just happy to be working. Slowly, in the late thirties with great performances in Frank Capra movies like You Can't Take It With You (1938) and Mr. Smith Goes To Washington(1939), Stewart's star rose as did the respect for his talent. He became known as a swinging lady's man around town. Mayer was surprised and delighted by his Academy Award for the Philadelphia Story (1940) as well as his humble gesture of sending the Oscar statue home to Indiana, Pa. for his father to display in the Stewart family hardware store.

With the War breaking out in Europe moguls like Mayer were pressured by the US government to make films that were pro-British and anti-German. In exchange they were promised that the leading men in Hollywood would not be drafted. But Jimmy Stewart told Mayer that he intended to join the army. The Mogul Darnell Nurse Oilers Jersey , who was quite the actor himself tried to dissuade his growing asset from leaving. "Young Man, you will do so much more for the service men if you stay home and make films. They will need entertainment. James my boy, don't deprive them. And your salary, your contract, your MGM family Adam Larsson Oilers Jersey , don't throw all that away." But despite being five pounds below the required weight Stewart insisted upon and received his induction to the armed forces (Due to the depression a lot of malnourished guys got in).

He would eventually transfer to the air corps and lead a thousand men into battle in the European theater, but the humble star began his military career as a buck private peeling potatoes. To join the service in in 1941, his MGM salary of $1500 was reduced by the army to $21 a week. Upon receiving his first payment Stewart immediately sent a check for two dollars and ten cents to his agent.

This list has been compiled as a result of years of working with business owners who didn't quite lay the right groundwork when they started up Kris Russell Oilers Jersey , and ended up paying for it later. Sometimes, what seems like a means of saving money actually ends up costing more in the long run. Some of these tips work for all different kinds of businesses, while others are more relevant to consultancies.


1. Always get your logo in multiple file formats.


It will probably cost you extra, but it will save you a whole lot of trauma and expense later. Make sure you receive:


- a high-resolution TIFF file


- a web-ready JPEG


- vector version - preferably Illustrator


- a layered version (PSD)


2. Have a copy-less brochure designed - one that can be run through your laser printer.


You can have a letter or legal-sized brochure created in colour with only your company name and logo, address Wayne Gretzky Oilers Jersey , and USP (or tag line) plus a nice watermark done in full colour (uncoated, no folds) that allows you to print the copy as you need it. This way you can create custom brochures as you need them, instead of having a thousand copies (or more) of a single brochure that might get changed.


3. Get business cards for all staff - even part-timers.


People love to hand out business cards. Can you find a cheaper advertising method?


4. Invest in blank business card stock.


The same way you can have your brochures printed without any copy on them, you can have your printer set 8.5 x 11 sheets set up for business cards, which you can use for people who are representing your company on a contract basis.


If you are placing anyone at a client site Connor McDavid Oilers Jersey , they should have a business card with your company information.


5. Have an MSWord document template designed, at the same time as your letterhead and other marketing collateral.


Make sure it has a cover page as well. It will be good for proposals, quotes, white papers, specifications Leon Draisaitl Oilers Jersey , faxes, notices, and so on. You can also use this to generate polished and professional PDFs for your website.


6. If you give presentations, have your own PowerPoint template designed as well.


7. Have your own domain name.


Even when you start with only a one-page placeholder describing your company, make sure it is on your own domain name Authentic Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Jersey , unless you are part of an industry association website that clearly states what you do. When I receive email addressed from businessname@ it really appears as though this person does not understand the Internet, or is too cheap to get his own domain name. A domain name can cost you as li.
