whatever peculiar conditions might exist in
the various places we visited, and here he
had an extremely embarrassing situation.
In that fast growing country conditions
changed almost over night, and little dealers
grew big between trips When Wilson, his
predecessor, was covering the territory he
was selling rather unimportant account in
that city, and at the instigation or demand
of larger concern Gordon, when he as
sumed charge, foolishly confined the goods
to the bigger operator and turned the other
man down After time Gordon's new GUS
toner closed out his business, while the re-
jected dealer built himself a large store in
more thriving location and was doing the
business of the place. The job was to get
him back-and every salesman knows how
much more difficult it is to get customer
back after he has drifted away than it is to
sell new one. When he has been driven
away or neglected the job is perilously near
the edge of the impossible. Gordon shivered
every time he thought of the tongue lashing
that was coming to him from the irascible
merchant.
We had about concluded that the only
thing to do was to acknowledge the corn and
frankly tell him that if he wanted to get
hunk here was his everlasting opportunity.
We were asking for his business, and he
could get pile of satisfaction by throwing
us down hard. But remembered Dawson's
experience.
