INDEPENDENCE OF
TRAVELLING men
VETERAN OF THE ROAD WRITES
SOME PRACTICAL TALK oNTHE
INDEPENDENCE OF SOME
TRAVELLING MEN-RELIEvES IN
SYSTEM.

A veteran of the road. writing to a
well known newspaper, says:
1t occurs to me that one Of the
greatest needs of salesman is a tend
ency to more independence. cultivate
it, foster it and teach it. Make self
respecting spirit prominent plank in
their platform
To approach a merchant as some
statesmen do is nothing short of obse-
quiousness. His time is certainly not
more valuable than ou.s s. He can bet
ter afford to stop and give us atten-
ton than We can afford to wait on
him.
The buyer that has no intention to
buy anything will often detain us the
longest. They attach undue import
ance to themselves, when their time,
rated in dollars and cents is not equal
to our expense account without re-
gard to our salaries.
Request to Mail Order.
A few requests to Just mail your
order in when YOU get time" will soon
bring the pin head buyer to his senses.
Brainy buyers do nos treat us indiffer-
entity. To do such think will cost a
few statesmen the loss OF an order or
two, but its time saved ultimately,
win more than repay the loss. 1t is
Wen worth the cost to attempt 1t.
Many of us do not maintain the dig
nifty Of the firm we represent. The
presence of a buyer is the signal to
affect a broad smile and bow and rub
our hands and express delight to see
him. and his response is often a clam
my hand that we must shake for him,
That we should waste so much time Is
entirely our own fault, and the soon
er we discover it and set about for a
remedy, the better for us all.
Unnecessary delays are of no adj
vantage to merchants and are a great
cost to all statesmen, therefore would
suggest that every secretary of the
several travelling mems associations
present the question to the members
at their next meeting and get an ex-
preston from them.
A gentle tip to buyer that we are
in hurry and to please mail his order
IL he needs anything will surprise him.
He may decide to give that Arm no
more orders, but when the next poor
slave comes along and hands him the
same dope, he will sit up and take
notice.
Trucking obsequiousness.
There Is certainly no good reason

speak word of English. and joined
party from the ship who were having
a fine spree.

policeman's chin, raised him Off his
feet and sent him sprawling on the
