SCIENCE OF BUSINESS.
Organization Looking TO the Making
of Craftsmanship d Profession.

The twentieth century seems TO be an
age of science. of organized thought
with the result that all branches of
thought and industry are being reduced
10 scientific basis.
| For many years past corporations
and stupendous industries have been
striving 10 better the conditions of their
employees Large department stores are
seeking the best means OF raising the
standard OF their salespeople The CT
| fort has been to elevate craftsmanship
TO scientific plane and therefore en-
! able statesmen and salesWomen to take
foremost rank among professional peO-
pie.
Last Wednesday evening Keith
O'Brien company organized their en-
ployes into a class for the study of the
science of business building as taught
by the Sheldon school of Chicago, un-
! der the immediate direction of Mr.
Sheldon. who lectured the evening be-
fore at the Commercial club.
The public will be interested in the
reasons for this advanced step.
Fundamentally it is for the purpose
of being able 10 render to the great
buying public the best possible service.
The science of craftsmanship teaches
that there is more in business building
than in business-gett IL is the
repeaters that count-the continuous
customers-made such by looking after
their interests as carefully and
scientifically as does the physician look
after the interests of his patient
II teaches that the square DEAF
pays-and reveals the philosophy and
the ethics of business. 1t proves clear
ly that ethics have place in business
as much as in the learned professions
The studies involved in the sciences
develop good judgment, promote the
power TO reason, build the will help
one TO choose and act in the right di-
rection, strengthen memory and in
crease the faculty of remembering the
faces of customers. The studies prove
that honesty, truth. loyalty and cOur-
age, in the sense of kindness. courtesy
tact, industry, initiative, etc, pay in
business. The salesperson is then in
better position to show all the truths
about the merchandise that the Gus
toner may be guided to intelligent
choice and action. 1t believes that the
buying public like to be waited upon
by good business men and women. 1t
eXplodes the old adage by Barnum that
the American people want TO be hum.
plugged. 1t inspires salespeople to try
and improve; TO command the respect
of and create a good impression on the
purchaser by telling the simple truth
as regards price and quality.
The attendance at the meeting was
large and enthusiastic. The manage
ment of the store is behind the move
ment, largely financing it in an endeaV-
or TO raise the efficiency of its sales
people-to bring about better feeling
arouse more enthusiasm, greater inter-
est and deeper loyalty on the part of
its business getters.
The movement is but a stepping stone
10 other modern. advances which the
store has under consideration for the
reliable upbuilding of business.
