Every commercial traveller must deal
justly with his customers If he desires
success. He should make 1t his business
to be just as particular that his trade
gets this value Of their money for goods
ordered through him as he would be to
get the value of his money from people
OF whom he buys. If he can get his
trade to believe he is giving them Just
treatment he will very soon find that
there will be no difficulty in getting them
to purchase their goods Of him.
One of the faults of travelling men.
and q great fault at that, is their prone
ness to push nice new goods to the ex-
clusion of back numbers" which the
house is always anxious to get rid of,
and hence firm should not take into
consideration entirely the amount of
mans sales, but the class of goods he
sells.
National Chairman Of the Legislative
Committee Hon. John O. Harwood of
Richmond, Va, is in Washington, aud
it can be confidently stated that before
a great length of time elapses a new
and separate department, with a secre-
tary's portfolio, will be added to those
now in operation for the transaction of
the public business at the National
commerce. The necessity for such a
department has long been felt in COM
mercin! circles, but the movement to
secure its establishment has been but
recently inaugurated by the Travellers
Protective Association of America.
Chairman HARDWOOD is now on the ground
for the purpose of having the measure
of interest to commercial men generally
introduced into congress. He has in
terviewed thus far some sevcntyfve
congressman, who expressed themselves
as heartily in favor of the creation of
such q cabinet portfolio and are ready
to support the bill when offered The
bill will be presented to the house by
the Hon. Seth w. Cobb of Missouri
who has looked into the matter, md he
MS well as numbers of others, are en-
thusiastic as to its merits. Another bill,
which is to provide for the erection of
building In the City of Mexico for
the use of the American legation, is also
being strongly pushed by the legislative
committee of our organization and is
promised hearty support. The bill sets
forth not only the necessity Of the build
ing, but the great advantage that will
accrue to the business interests of this
country by having an establishment that
will impress the Mexicans with the fact
that the Americans are there to stay
and to promote the commercial interests
between the two countries. This meas
ure will be introduced by Hon. Tazewell
