indinerently, about proceeding. to
business. Procrastination. the COM
mon thief of time, In too often present
and with reluctance to buy. This
Of course comes In part from the fact
that the woods are always Allied with
travelling statesmen. The merchants
too often feel, that the best way to
get rid of what is to them a sort of
necessary evil, is to keep them stand
ing around waiting. very little re-
Election would convince a reasonable
buyer that this is the worst possible
policy he could pursue, and that his
best plan would be to hear the sales
mans story, then either look at his
samples or state positively that he
would not do so, and get the sales
man out of the way, then do the same
thing with the next.
But this is a slight depression from
the, subject, which is. the proper use OF
the time of the man on the road.
Waiting sometimes for hours hang
ing around a store is a hard tack for
any live man. Burning up with inn
patience, he dares not to show the
least disposition to restlessness
Should he do so, the probabilities are
that his prospects of an order is en-
dangered If not lost entirely. Again
even after he has gotten his prospect
in the. sample room, sometimes the
buyer will waste enough time to pur-
chase a mammoth stock before he can
assemble his thoughts and proceed to
business
1T would be absurd to lay down any
rules for the salesman under these
circumstances. for the same would not
apply to any two cases. Ii indeed to

depends on the moods in which the
merchant happens to be- that particu-

experiences. the man who would wir

self SO that he can wait patiently, II
waiting is the proper thing to do, or
become impatient If 1t takes that tc
advance his cause. 1t is sometimes
the Il. case that many merchants will
never come to the point unless forced
to do so. This much can be said in a
general way. The salesman must

hours or a day or two. keep right
along with his prospect, not ALLOW
his mind to be delivered by reading

something wrong with the goods after
