ESTIMATING BUSINESS. VALUE OF CALLERS

Men who direct affairs, whether theil
own business or department of an.
others. must learn to judge the business
value Of callers. They must learn to en-.
force such judgments, and to end inter.
views that have passed the limits Of
utility. This is the practical opinion OF
o. S. Marden, who discusses this point
in October Success. Chatting on gen.
eral subjects during business hours is
sure means Of spelling ones executive
efficiency, robbing ones employer, OF
even running ones own business, is g
sensible conclusion he reaches.
He'notices that men who are famous
as executives seem to have an instinct
for deciding instantly, when caller
is announced. how much time to give
him. President Roosevelt Is q fine ex-
ample of such man. When man
enters his office, he grasps him by the
hand as if he We're long-expected
friend, but along with the cordial greet
ing is plain expression that business
is business, and that other dear
friends" are waiting. Most of the
presidents visitors, therefore, state
their errands concisely, and retire
quickly without creating further delay.
The president OF a certain large insti-
tuition is known for the cordial welcome
he gives to his callers, but he has re-
markable tact in leading them immedi-
ately to the business in hand. AS soon
as that is concluded, he rises graciously
and shakes the callers hand, assuring
him that he regrets not having more
time to give him, and the caller, tho
really dismissed ut the will of the busy
man, goes away feeling that he has
been handsomely treated, even If he has
not been talking to him for over three
minutes. The, heads of large banks
and Insurance companies, and the high
salaried trust officers, are men with
this faculty well developed. influential
promoters, men of combining powers,
grasp, comprehension, and executive
ability, are always men Of comparative
" few words in business, and are
known for their directness and concise
ness. Every word they speak counts;
they look upon their time as capital,
and will not allow it to be unnecessarily
infringed upon.
These prompt, direct, executive men
make some enemies, OF course, but they
accomplish results-they do things.
They believe in military discipline in
their business, and do not want any
thing to do with people who do not
mean business.
One Of the most valuable assets Of a
business man is the power of compell-
ing those with whom he has transact
tions to be brief. This is an Indication
of the successful man. Only those who
have learned the value, OF time can APP
preciate Its Importance. and SO guard
against its being encroached upon by
thoughtless or over laxative people.
Perhaps no one in the business world
today furnishes such striking example
Of the power of inducing brevity in 9TH
ers as j. Pierpont Morgan. His enc
mics accuse him Of rudeness in this re-
spect: but 1t is merely business prin-
ciple. It is wei Ito keep this in mind
in meeting busy men who seem to be
brusque in manner.
