nesday evening. by Howard Cutting.
manager of the Sheldon school. Mr..
Cutting, who spoke under the auspices
of the Chamber of Commerce was
introduced by President Frank Red
ington. In a discourse that held the
undivided attention of his hearers
throughout.
Mr.. Cutting gave many valuable
hints and suggestions to business men
that would not only increase their
own efficiency, but also that of those
about him. He spoke of personality
as one of the strongest influences in
business. of the business and his
ability and appearance. and in speak
ing of men. Mr.. Cutting said that
looking into the mirror at ones self
should not alone be confined to the
ladies', for there is nothing that com
mands favorable attention more than
does mans personal appearance.
He further spoke of the favorable at
tention created by the appearance of
the store windows and the statesmen.
of the wagging tongue of the salts
fed customer, who is the best adyer-
tser. of the art of advertising and it's
influence on the public. and of the
buildings of the business by making
permanent patrons.
He also spoke of the power to per-
suade people to purchase your prod
ucts at profit. and of the ability of the
modern commercial house and the
commercial man. to serve the public.
And that the efficiency of house or
individual is partly determined by its
power In speaking of the method of
determining the value of an individual
he said that II was determined by
the amount of supervision he needed
If the supervision required was great
his value would be small and If the
supervision was small the individuals
value would be great.
