MT. Charles w Rice, Supreme Tray cling representative. of the Order of United Commercial Travellers of Amer ica, in a letter to the author, says:
 "The principal advantages offered by commercial travelling as a business:
 "G Travelling broadens a mans ideas and makes him a student of hu- man nature. There is a continual va riety in the life of a travelling sales man that makes the work fascinating.

The travelling salesman has the opportunity of go- ing out after his customers, while the house salesman must wait for the cus- toner to come to him.

MT. Charles F. Abbott, general man ager of the Warner Brothers company of New York city, in letter to the author says:
 "I would not advise anyone to be- come travelling salesman unless ms character was well formed and he had himself well in hand, The tempta- lions on the road are unlimited, and only those of strict integrity and ot strong well-in- hand character can hone to maintain their equilibrium. The travelling salesman is away from home. lives on sleepers and at hotels: and his tendency Is toward dissipation not because he naturally desires to be- come dissipated, but because of lone someness and of nothing else to GO after the days work is over.
 "I would not advise anyone to go upon the road who is not a natural seller. and who is not willing to worfI hard and stand any amount of oppo- sition and disappointment. The young man without ambition. and who has little control of himself, who has not a set and definite character would bet ter go behind the counter and stay there

the fronts are tucked at the shoulders.
Whether the sleeves are in elbow or
