ARE MOULDERS OF
PUBLIC OPINION
THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER AS
AFRAMER or PUBLIC THOUGHT
AND AS A DlssEMINAToR OF
NEWS, PROBABLY RANKS NEXT
TO THE PREss-A FACTOR AT
HOME.

The commercial traveller OF this
country is among the greatest mould
ers of public opinion. probably ranking
next after the press. Like the press
he is a medium Of transmitting news,
especially that news relating to COM
mercial and financial conditions, crop
prospects and the like.
In the small towns Of the country,
especially, he plays an important part
in the lives OF the Inhabitants. This
Is very natural. He comes from the
outside, where he is in conct&nt touch
with the vital things Of life and because
he has recently been in many parts of
the state where That town is located.
AS mouIer Of public opinion his
decisions are often taken as a guide.
This is not because he is wiser than
others, but because OF his wide ac-
quaintance he has an opportunity to
pick out the best ideas that have or
iginated primarily from a large num-
Der Of men. He is by trade thinker,
and with few exceptions his thoughts
are Of the best.
In the small villages he is always an
item Of interest. AS soon as he lands
in town he is pumped constantly for
knowledge OF the outside. The mer-'
chant to whom ne is selling goods is
always anxious to find out the news
of supply and demand. This is some
thing that he cannot always get in his
home weekly or even in the city dailies
which hettakes, because they may not
contain the reports of the particular
line he is handling. This merchant.
is anxious to learn of the new things
coming out which mis- customers would
buy. The hotel man wants ideas
which the traveller has secured by
stopping at the best houses in the
country; the grain dealer wants to
know from a reliable source in. Just
what condition the crops are in a GER
tain locality the banker in the small
town wants to know how the prosper
ity or the panic is effecting his con-
temporaries-wants to know from a.
man who has seen with his own eyes
Al home he is great factor in
building up MS city-of making it bet
ter In every respect. He takes an
active part in the affairs Of the COM
munity He has gained ideas in his
wanderings-ideas that are the cream
from every locality. Those that are
best and possible OF Installing he would
incorporate at home.
In these and many other ways he
mas become leader Of men. Not the
KIND OF leader that shouts and whoops
ms IDEAS, but one that quietly tells
what ne knows to those he meets and
VINO are interested. He is trained to
convincing people that he mas the best
line Of goods, and this training FITS
MIN for convincing them on other
things.
he can be force for good or evil,
but fortunately he is with very, very
few exceptions the kind OF man that
applies his powers only ON the good
side. He mas to or he would not be
long on the road az commercial
traveller. m
