Gated with the idea that they could
pick UP their education as they went
along Yet that's exactly what YOU
are doing with these statesmen here in
your store How long were you learn
ing the hne points Of saIesmanship2
Years and years, and, although YOU
have all that knowledge stored away
IN your mind, you are not giving
these people the benefit OF il, but are
simply hiring them. giving them g
little book Of store rules and turning
them behind your counters to make or
break your business It is not fair 10
them. to your customers. or TO you.
THE idea that statesmen. ike red
headed people, are born. instead Of
made, is a thing OF the past. When a
man goes 10 work for a big typewriter
company these days he is put to work
rehearsinS his sales arguments Just
as II here were an actor He must sell
a typewriter 10 the manager. When a
man goes on the sales force Of a cash
register company he is put into q
school for statesmen for q month
When the underwriters for a big bond
issue start their statesmen on the road
they have had at least a months
schooling in craftsmanship. The peo-
pie you are hiring here for SO a week
are not as well educated OF Of such a
high standard Of intellect as the sort
Of statesmen have mentioned. and yet
you expect to put them right behind
your counters without a particle OF
instruction, and have them display the
same brand Of salesmanship that you
would.
NO man who employs saIespeople can
hope to get perfect satisfaction unless
he watches and teaches them. There
are all sorts Of people &c contend with,
all sorts OF goods to sell, and all
sorts Of good and bad methods
Of doing it. If there are twenty people
in the store would advise a regular
school once a week where your people
may be taught craftsmanship, the his
tory Of the goods YOU handle, methods
Of calculation and everything else per-

Fifty wears ago there was not a tooth
pick made in this country. All that
were used were quius and a few hand
made ones from Japan A man In Dix
field, Ne, invented a machine which
turned out a fairly good pick, bur he
could ind no demand for his goods. Re
took man in the village and dressed
him in a top hat. frock coat. and all the
external appearances Of prosperity and
sent him into all the best restaurants
and cafes in New York. where after a
light, well-chosen repast he raised a big
row because there were no toothpicgs.
Next day a salesman for the toothpick
house trailed him, and between the two
OF them the market was created. Today
there are four factories in the town.
One factory has ten machines going and
each machine turns out 1000 tootbpicBs

Account of Worry Over an Invalid
Daughter.

Winston-Salem, n. c.. Jan. al
Mrs Lee Kelly. wife OF ex-Sheriff
Kelly of Yadkin County, Is suffering
from the effects of peculiar acct
dent, having either jumped or fallen
into a thirty-foot well at her home
in Yadkinville several days ago. Her
husband, assisted by Squire John II.
James and DR.. T. r. Harding, res
cued her.
Mrs. Kelly had been bordering on
nervous prostration, 1t is said, fol-
lowing a pitiable breaking down of
the mental faculties of her daughter,
Miss May Kelly, several months ago,
which necessitated her confinement
in the asylum at Morganton.
Early in the morning her husband
awoke and heard her voice calling
outside. He traced 1t to the we'll
and discovered his wife at the bot
tom, swinging to the chain. Rushing
across the street to neighbors, Mr..
Kelly secured their assistance and
dragged the half-dazed woman from
her dangerous position. She knew
nothing of how she had fallen into
the well. and the physician thinks
she must have wandered to the place
in a semi-conscious condition.

MIR. w. B. Rowland of Durham, Com.
mits Suicide.

Mr.. w. B. Rowland of Durham, cut
his throat last Thursday, and died
Friday afternoon at Watts Hospital.
He had sharpened three razors and
when one was taken from him he
found another to complete his MUIR
derous work He used the third
razor before he stopped, and even
after he was taken to the hospital
he tried to tear the wound open by
use of his hands. No cause is known
for his rash act. Mr.. Rowland had
always contended that suicide was
cowardly and foolish. He was born
in Granville County, graduated al
Wake Forest and taught the first
school in Durham. Until very recent
ly he was engaged in the leaf tobacco
business in Durham.
