TRAVELLER and
HOUSE in unison
THEY MUST KEEP IN CLOSE
TOUCH OR THE SALESMAN
WILL NOT HAVE THE SUCCESS
HE SHOULD HAVE WHEN HE'S
ON THE ROAD, SAYS A WRITER.

A well known writer on the travelling
salesman is a strong advocate of the
house and the salesman being on the
very best terms and he says: A sales
man starts out on the road with his
sample cases, catalogue and special
price lists In order that he may truly
represent his firm, there must be dem
onstrated an intimate spirit Of CO.
operation between him and the house.
The house must keep constantly in
formed Of his movements and his bus
mess transactions; and he must, of
course, keep in the closest possible
touch with the home office.
The first of these requirements is
fulfilled through the orders that he
sends in and his daily, weekly and
special reports as regards his sales,
his routes Of travel, his expense and
condition of trade in certain localities
or with certain dealers. Every one Of
these reports meets careful disposition
in the house. The orders are booked
for delivery, special contingencies in
trade are met as judgment dictates,
and the personal record of the sales
mans movements is carefully noted in
the salesmanager's office.
Now, in turn, for the salesman's
benefit, the house sends out each day
or week bulletin of information and
Instructions. There is a general state
ment of trade conditions as gathered
from hundreds of reports and viewed
from the perspective standpoint of the
house. There is advance information
OF. styles and fashions and new talking
points that have been developed re-
garding certain goods either in the
house or by other men on the road.
But specifically and most important
of all, these bulletins list those goods
which for any reason have been ex
hausted or called off sale, and those
other goods on which it has been found
necessary or advisable to change the
price quotations.
If the salesman acts upon this infor-
nation with an attentiveness CORE
spending to that which the house ac-
cords his reports, what will he do? He
will Immediately correct his price book
and special price lists and catalogues,
and at the earliest possible opportunity
will check up his samples, discarding
or marking out those withdrawn from
sale.
This, admittedly, is detail work, dis
tasteful to many an easy-going sales.
man, who depends upon the charm of
a strong personality to entice large
orders into the book. But it is an es-
sential-an absolute essentiaI-to the
man who wants to secure the conf
dence of his house and his customers
and score a permanent success in his
work
If he does it promptly each time he
receives a weekly or a special notice
of stock and prices changes, he is al
ways sure OF the accuracy Of his quo
tation, he knows that every order he
takes is a bona fide order and can be
filed at the house.

WOULD SPEND
APPROPRIATION
SENATOR M'cuM5ER TRYING TO
ASSIST THE NORTH DAKOTA
FARMERS.

Bismarck n. D., July 23.-Senatof
McCumber was instrumental recently
IN getting an appropriation passed by
congress OF $175,000 which amount is
to be used in making improvements in
the channel OF the Missouri river from
the South Dakota line to Fort Benton,
Mont.
At present all his efforts are being
concentrated in the endeavor to ger
the government to spend this money
at once. II this is done it will mean
an incalculable benefit to the North
Dakota farmers whose farms adjoin
the river.
II this can be brought to pass. 1t
will mean that the farmers win be
given work during the rest of the year
and thereby earn little money to
help carry them over what promises
at present to be one of the bad years
of the state.
The residents Of the state who have
farms along the river bank will be
able to clear their land of boulders
and rocks and to sell the same to the
government for riprapping purposes.
They will also have 10 cut the willows
along the shores to make the mat
tresses for the same work. This. also
will materially help the clearing of the
land.
The farmers will have a chance to
use their teams and to furnish their
own labor. This viii mean money in
their pockets this fall, and SITS, 900 di-
vded up among the people of this part
of the state will help to feed many a
mouth during the coming winter.

KEEP statesmen
WELL INFORMED
THIS IS THE ADVICE OF A. II.
BARKEDING IN A PUBLISHED
ARTICLE AND HE THINKS 1T
WILL BRING FORTH THE BEST
SF hESOLiSs - fas,.;,

A. H. Barkeding in Geyer's Station
er: It has been my opportunity to fol-
low the career Of our statesmen and to
lend them every bit of aid and CO.
operation to further their success. Our
concern is keeping them well informed
regarding all items of interest pertain
ing to their work, keeping them we'll
informed regarding any new article of
manufacture we are contemplating, any
new methods of manufacture-any in
formation, in fact, representing
talking basis, which is at all times
helpful. Our instructions to them are
careful and ineligible. They are
aware of our own enthusiasm in the
merits of our products, and they have
imbibed 1t, therefore possessing the
necessary confidence, which is such a
factor of success in selling any article;
in fact / may say the greatest factor,
and one that represents the ground
work in craftsmanship. We have i'm
pressed on each the fact that every
order has future. 1t is not the mere
taking Of an order for the present
profit that we value, but it is the per-
petuation of the patronage of every
dealer to whom we are selling to
make his business permanent, and we
leave nothing undone to accomplish
that purpose. In fact, the real sales
man understands such a policy and
leaves nothing undone to assist his
house in furthering perpetuation, and
to do this successfully salesman real
ICES only too well that he must be the
stimulator referred to above-that he
must not allow a single one of his
customers to get into rut, because
with a constant renewal of interest
q dealer will never lag in his enthu-
siasm in selling a line of goods he may
have been handling for many years.
