CHEERFULNESS IN ADVERTISING
copyrirh, isl. By Geo. E. Patterson

Copyright 1912 by Geo. E. Patterson.
There is n denying the value of cheerfulness In business. The
proprietor Of a business always enjoys a better trade IL he has a
shiny disposition.
What would We think Of a salesman who is dull and suien around
the store! Greeting customers with pleasant words good Jokes o
sto1esa always as its righteous reward. IL Is Just g natural for custom

FOL vegetable life to seek out the real sunshine. There is life q all
animate objects in sunshine. Likewise there 10 life &c all business
when the store is filled with eheerfuIness. II is an invaluable asset to
business.
We may say what w will but the COLLIER" gets the business. BY
"jolier' we do not mean the foolish simpleton, but the salesman filled
with humor.
A salesman with a real and natural sense Of humor can approach
his prospect with q naturalness and preparedness that 10 not only capti
waiting and convincing, but resuItproducina az we'll. He THUS GETS into
the very atmosphere where sales are possible. A salesman cannot sell
goods to a dummy and a dummy cannot sell goods to a person.. There
must be life In both buyer and seller. The selling atmosphere can be
created by the seller himself as sales depend more upon the seller than
upon the goods.
The optimistic spirit is created by the successful salesman. That
is the spirit where everything looks bright to the merchant, business 10

The merchant who breathes this spirit nto his business life and his
advertising is a sure u success az life itself.
