Self-Exarnination of
Merchant and Clerk

Merchant and Clerk
Don't allow idlers to loaf around the
store.
Don't hesitate, if desired, to change
aPurchase for customer.
Don't leave your counter until the
customer leaves the store.
Don't be afraid to thank a customer
who recommends your goods to some
one else.
Don't forget to ask the friend who
comes in to chat to do it in the back
room. -
Don't neglect an opportunity to
make a friend of customer. Conf
dence begets patronage.
Don't expect the clerk to take
more interest in the business than
you do yourself.
Don't deride the clerk before GUS
toners.
Don't expect the clerk to know a
thing because it is simple to you. 1t
may have been different in his last
place.
Don't forget that good clerk
never makes the same mistake twice,
while an Indifferent one does.
Don't forget that there is no need
of your telling of your ability. If you
possess any, those interested will find
it out. This applies only to clerks.
With the proprietor it is the other
way round.
Don't forget that the clerk who &C.
complishes most Is the one who makes
least fuss about it.
Don't forget that the ''forget to
charge" habit is quite prevalent
among many store inhabitants. A
cash register system properly con-
Quoted eliminates it.
Don't forget that the man who sits
down the minute that the boss goes
out is very often seen standing around
waiting for job.
Take as much interest in your EN-
ployer's business as if it were your
own.
Do not try to get all you can, CIV
ing nothing. Do more than is de-
manded.
You can't be half hour late every
morning and make your employer be-
lieve that you have his interests at
heart.
Do your work well today, and you
won't have to do it over again tomor
row.
A sullen coun tenance is not pleas
ant to look upon for ether an en-
ployer or customer. Thrusting
your own disgruntlemeEt on those
around you is poor investment.
Give good value for the money you
receive and you will be sure to sue
coed.
Put yourself in your employer
place.
The road to success is none the less
worth travelling because it is not
short.
Always set good example. Dc
not lie to the clerk or to the custom
err and expect the clerk to tell you
the truth.
Have confidence in your employees
until they prove themselves unwor.
thy; but keep temptation out Of their
way, keep your eyes open, and re.
member when contemplating chastis-
ing, that quick and sudden jolt is
worth hundred taps.
A cheap man is poor investment.
Respect your clerk, and treat him
accordingly, or don't keep him.
Encouragement often does more
good than finding fault. Reprimand
only Justly. When it comes time to
reprimand the same man the second
time for the same mistake-just fire

mont tunnel under the East river at
Forty-second street, New York. which
also is doing a section of the new
Sixth avenue tunnel. says a New York
correspondent of the Pittsburg Dis
patch. At the foot Of Forty-second
street the company has a compressed
air plant. Instead of erecting another
plant for its Sixth avenue contract 1t
ran line OF pipe along Forty second
street to the subway at Park avenue,
where a connection was made with a
line used by the company when 1t was
Aelplng to build the subway. At Sixth
avenue the connection was picked up
again and the pipe carried on the ela-
waited structure down to Thirteenth
street, where the company's men are
working now. Thus the air that drives

MES exchanging places for limited sea-
sons within year after the plan is ins
augurated.
"In months like January, February
and March, when ocean travel is dull,
the plan could not be carried out, but
when travel Is heavy l am sure there
would be a splendid revenue for the
floating performances. As we carry
all of the necessary properties, scenery
and costumes to London when one of
our companies goes there to play, there
would be no handicap on performances
on the ocean In that respect.
whoever has crossed the ocean and
doesn't feel that an opportunity to go
to the theater would be hailed with
joy by almost everybody on the pas
senger list? In the first place, 1t would
be genuine novelty. 1t would give
the women a chance to dress, and 1t
would furnish the men an excuse for
cutting out the smoking room a night
or two. There wouldn't be any free
list, and there wouldn't be any dramat-
&c critic to worry about.

give first performances of plays under
such circumstances. Think of it-a
