Window Salesmanship.

From Business.
What the travelling salesman is to the
manufacturer the show window is to the
retailer 1t is the medium through which
the merits of his goods are made known
to the public.
Carry the analogy further. Just as
statesmen are divided into two classes.
real statesmen who create trade and mere
order takers, so are there two classes OF
show windows. the window that merely
shows goods and the window that grips
the interest of the casual gazer and de-
yelops in him a desire for certain goods.
Window craftsmanship finds its most
forceful expression in the showcard. An
attractive display may catch the interest
of the passerby. but generally virile
showcard Is needed to give him the actual
buying impulse.
Salesmanship-the hit-or-miss kinds
as old as the hills Window cards and
price tickets have been used since the
first stOrekeeper started in business. But
II is only in recent years that the wide
possibilities OF window cards as a creative
selling force have been recognized.
With the placing of saIesmanship on a
near scientific ta-is, windc.. ssl esnsn ii
