A good story is told on Wichita mer
chant who had a younger brother not
quite up to the standard as salesman.
After giving him big lecture on how to
sell goods he asked him to pay close atten-
tion while he waited on lady customer
who was just entering the store. The lady
wanted to buy some silk. The knowing
merchant priced it at 50 per yard. The
lady isisted that she could get the same
quality at the other place for 81 50. Then
the merchant got in his fine work. He ex-
planned that recent cable reported that
all the silk worms in China were dead and
that they were forced to raise the price.
He made the sale and his clerk stood an
interested spectator. He had at last learn
ed lesson, aud braced up for the next
customer, determined TO make sale or
die in the attempt. This lady happened to
want few yards of tape which he priced
her at Is cents. She objected The clerk
scratched his head a moment then looking
wise politely informed the astonished Gus
toner that the crop of tape worms was ex-
ceedingly short and that they wers COM
pelled to advance the price. He had proven
an apt scholar.
