yes, I've found the
trouble said the
NtM Business Doctor.
II S7lr THE reason you
~ are not making more
imoney is that your
expense Of doin5
business Is too high. have also found
that the difficulty is in your salary list
and have further found that there Is no
way TO reduce that because there are
certain hours Of the day wnen you are
so crowded with customers that The
sales people you have are hardly
adequate TO wait on the trade and also
that there are other hours when literally
hundreds Of them are idle
Here are some examples

you want them The temporary relief
comes through having hour sales.
If my figures are correct and 3
