“Get out of the way, boys! Here

And the men have set an all-

It isn’t the percentage we women

W. H. Roberts
In a radio talk some time ago,
W. J. Cameron made some rather
surprising statements concerning
salesmen and salesmanship, among
which was the assertion that about
70 per cent of all sales are made
on the initiative of buyers them-
selves, and only about 30 per cent
through personal selling efforts.
He also said that 70 per cent
may say, but even that will not
bring back the life of an innocent j g]™*
child or another dear relative or
friend.

The food that I share with others,

Mr. Cameron does not believe in
so-called “high pressure” sales-
manship in which the prospective
buyer is harangued by a lot of
bombastic and meaningless sales
talk, which is exceedingly distaste-
ful to any intelligent buyer. The
best salesman is one who studies
the needs of his customer, and
gives him information that will
lead him to buying intelligently,
and such a salesman is usually
welcome on a return visit. Mr.
Cameron significantly adds:
"The salesman who comes in
with a lot of orders dangling like
scalps from his belt is not a good
salesman, for you can scalp a man
only once. Making a customer is
more important than making a
sale.”

which is the fastest liner in the
world, and only slightly less in
tonnage than the French Nor-

The Queen Elizabeth is to have
a registered tonnage of 85,000, as
against the Normandie’s

round numbers. The Queen Eliz-

as against the Normandie’s 981 and
the Queen Mary’s 975. These are
the lengths between stem and rud-

One is that'
the evening services will begin j
from this date on at 7:30 instead
of 8 o’clock as at present. Please
remember to come on time.
The other announcement is, that
the actual work on the new par- ’
sonage began last Monday. The
plan is very attractive, and it will
provide a comfortable place for;
the pastor (new or old) for next)
year. Much of the labor on the
parsonage will be voluntary labor,
so this is to say when you have a
day to spare, kindly call on Mr.
Jenkins and he will put you to
work. Next will be the money
raising. We shall need to raise
several hundred dollars to put over
the parsonage plan. Please bear
this in mind and get ready when
you see the committee coming.
