Physiognomy Of the Salesman

The nose of travelling salesman generally
bears the appearance of breadth Just above the
wings. This Is the that indicates the ability
to acquire property, make good sales, secure re-
turns through bargains and fine talking. and
Gated that they did not wish to buy or make
bargain. The thickness OF the nose above the
wings is the true facial sign OF acquisitiveness
and travelling salesman and a good business
man have generally this characteristic strongly
developed We find It large In George Peabody
Andrew Carnegie and the Rothschlds all of
whom have made large fortunes
The lips of good salesman are regular and
fit appropriately together
The chin and jaw of a successful salesman are
indicated by their squareness and roundness com
bined. The roundness gives the power of appeal
and the squareness gives the capacity to clinch
the bargain
The voice of a successful salesman is bright
CHEEKY, optimistic. Its infections are hopeful and
airy not heavy and dull The salesman possesses
a sivery toned voice which is oiled to its sub
ject that II knows exactly what to say. and saws
1t without hesitation.
The handwriting of good salesman is neat

the lines that cross the is and ambition Is mani

The eyes of the honest business man who is
