A buyer IN one Of the large department
stores can see no good in a school for the
! study Of craftsmanship like the one which
has been established in Chicago. There
was a time" he said, when there might
have been a slight excuse for such a school
but now. when all reputable concerns have
fixed prices. we require no persuasive pow
ers. What we need IN saiespeople is intelli-
gence and courtesy. For salesmanship in
the wholesale line there can certainly be
no good results from study away from the
field or operation. The successful salesman
needs three things: The goods, 'sticktotivs-
ness and an agreeable personality. none OF
which can be gained by study. The most
important OF the three is the FIRST. But
what good will they all do him II the peo-
pie he calls on tell him business is rotten?
