Toll Uses in
Sales Campaigns

OUCH testimonials the following from the j. e.
y SOPER COMPANY, wholesalers of grain and
feed at 206 Chamber of Commerce, Boston, furnish
unimpeachable testimony of the value of the tele-
phone especially the toll lines in sales campaigns.
We quote paragraph of letter to the Company
from this concern:
ave find that the telephone takes the place. in a
large degree of the road and that our business
is done in much more satisfactory way by having
everything a salesman should know concerning the
quality location and other features of the goods,
whereas a man on the road does not always have his
information, and is frequently induced to guess it,
which does not work at ALL"
We would not suggest this rule in every case.
The advantages of faceto-face craftsmanship and the
magnetism of personality, coupled with the import
ance of showing many lines of goods to be de-
preciated On standard lines, however, once the sales
mans personality is established, the telephone is
efficient auxiliary, and especially helpful the sales
man in making advance appointment.
TRAVELLING MEN interested in little stories of
the advantages of the telephone business auxiliary,
are invited to send for Moderns Methods of Money
Making. In Metropolitan Boston call the Contract
Department, Fort Hill 1000. Elsewhere call the Local
Manager.

Some one asked for imported bar de
due. I send my recipe for American par
de due. Currants, large, ripe stemmeu'
one pound; extra juice, one pint; sugar
six pints. Put the juice and sugar INTO
a porcelain lined kettle and boil for nVe
minutes, slSimming carefully. Add the
currents and boil for five minutes more.
Strain off the juice through cheesecloth,
return to the kettle and boil until 1t be
gins to get thick. Add the eurrants ana
boil again for only a minute skimnlng
carefully. Rinse jelly glasses In not
water, stirring the preserves as you MI
each glass. The imported bar lie duc
has the seeds removed with large
needle, but it is a delicate and tedious
process

Mrs. Joseph Jefferson Asbury and Mrs.
Wlburn Smith were the two brides who
yesterday shared honors at Mrs. Thomas
Ashford's luncheon bridge party. The
courtesy was limited chiefly TO the young
matrons, in Difference to the two hon
orees, and an added interest came from
the fact that in asking these friends to
her home Mrs. Ashford was celebrating
her own birthday-a graceful recognition
of an anniversary.
Flowers were abundantly used to dec
orate the apartments. Every room had
its wealth of blossoms, so that one fam
cied that every rose garden ON the High
lands had given its lovely treasures to
supplement the beauties OF the conserva-
tories, all to pay tribute to this de-
lightful hostess. In the reception hall,
baskets filled with syringa branches in
full bloom; in the living room, roses and
sweet peas introduced all the lighter
coors of spring into a decorative motif.
IA large bowl of Marchaniel roses, In jux-
taposition to a vase of bride roses,
showed how equally lovely two varieties
of roses may be. Across the room, on a
table, was long basket filled with sweet
peas of every color, and here, too, we're
roses in a brass basket, which We're
deeply saffron tinted. In the dining
xoom, from which a delicious hot lunch
e0n was served, the only flower used
was the brilliant yellow coreopsis. In
the center of the bonbon table, filling
4 basket, and again on the buffets, the
gorgeous yellow gave an artistic element
