Cheerfu1ness ii AdDertisinq

There is denying the value of cheerfulness in
business. The proprietor of a business always en-
joys better trade if he has sunshiny disposition
What would we think of salesman who is
dull and sullen around the store? Greeting custom
ers with pleasant Words good jokes or stories al
ways has its righteous reward. 1t is just as nat
ura for customers to seek out store where chaer-
fulnes and sunshine prevails as it is for vegetable
life to seek out the real sunshine There is life to
all animate objects in sunshine. Likewise there is !
life to all business when the store is filled with
cheerfulness. It's an Invaluable asset to business
We may say what will but the COLLIER"
gets the business. By COLLIER we do not mean the
foolish simpeton, but the saleman filled with hui
salesman with real and natural sense of
humor can approach his prospect with natural
ness and preparedness that is not only captivating
and convincing but result producing as we'll. He
thus gets into the very atmosphere where sales
possible. salesman cannot sell goods to dummy
and dummy cannot sell goods to person. There
must be life in both buyer and seller The selling
atmosphere 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 is good, his
goods are in demand, and success is coming his
way. The merchant who breathes this spirit into
his business life and his advertising is as sure of
success life ITSELF
In successful advertising the optimistic spirit
is the dominant spirit. People like to trade with
optimist.. Persistent and judious newspaper
advertising creates the optimistic spirit relative
