on salesmanship to the employees OF the
Burgess-Nash and NJ r. Smith company
in the latters dining room, Tuesday eve
ming.
Mr.. Nystrom was formerly at the Uni
versity Of Minnesota and while there
made a thorough study Of this subject
and his lecture was interesting as we'll as
educational, especially so. as almost the
entire audience was composed Of people
connected with some phase OF selling.
Prof. Nystrom brought out three i'm
portant facts applying to the art OF sell
ing. First essential is to get ideas into
the customers mind, namely through the
five senses, either by appealing to them
individually or collectively. Second. Civ
ing the customer the right or wrong i'm
preston at the start. Third. the effect OF
the other two principles on the pros
pective customers mind, going by the
well known truth that every idea that
enters the customers mind tends to be
expressed, whether i'm pleasure or dis
pleasure.
After the lecture, Mr. Burgess made a
few humorous remarks concerning parts
OF the lecture that pertained TO charac-
teristics of members of both the Bur-
gess-Nash and NJ. Smith forces
