despisable methods Of making sale.
His address there, as here, was upon
the fundamental principals of sales
The speaker took up the discussion
Of the fundamental principals upon
which men are building their business.
He impressed that fact upon his aud
ience that each man there, no matter
how small his business was, was an
important part of the great commerce
system OF the world.
A great factor in the advancement
OF civilization, said the speaker, has
come through the development of
commercial genius. Lumbermen, he
said, have been in the front In this
cause. A greater part of this country
has been primarily developed through
the influence OF commerce. The estab-
lishment Of trading posts in remote
regions Of the country in early times
was followed by the settlement of the
community around the post. After the
people, came the schools and the
churches, and civil government. But
1t was commercial development that
headed the advancement OF the com
munity.
At the close of the address by Mr..
Vardaman the meeting adjourned and
