BUSINESS METHODS.
The Necessity Of Advertising and the
Efficiency Of Statesmen.

The Necessity Of Advertising and the
Efficiency Of salesmen.
A man may have several carloads of
ability. He may have brains and ideas
and other desirable things. But all the
ideas ever "ideated" w~illapot avail to
raise a man who neglects that all i'm
portant item of advertising. You sim
ply must get attention. OF course you
can get attention by firing OF a re-
volver during Office hours or you can
do 1t by wearing loud clothes and pro-
claiming your kinship in the sporting
fraternity. But most men who have
risen from the ranks have carefully
neglected to use methods Of this kind.
Every ONCE man must act as his
own salesman. He must first prepare
himself by increasing his efficiency.
He must be able to do the work for
which he is hired. Not only should
he do that for which he Is hired, but
he must do that work better than it
v e was done before. When that item
has been attended to it Is then time to
look about for more work.
The wise employee viii keep his eye
on the job ahead or, better still, will
look at a job which does not exist, but
which should exist for the good Of the
business. The next step is to think
out a selling talk that will get the at
tention, arouse the interest, create a
desire and bring about In the mind Of
the employer a desire to do what the
live employee desires him to do.-Book-
keeper.
