Don't Talk Too Much.

Recently a voluble salesman was try
ing to close deal with a good Gus
toner. The salesman was doing all
the talking, and the buyer was becom-
ing not little annoyed. Several times
the customer started to speak, but the
salesman would choke him of and
start on another line of argument
Finally the manager saw what was up
and suggested to the seller that he al
low the buyer to say something. This
the buyer did and quickly. He said
that he had been trying for half an
hour to tell the salesman that he
would take the goods. = Farm Ma

He was instrumental in estab- fishing the Packard factory in Detroit and for period of more than ten years had a leading part in it's development.
 Several months ago Alvan Macauley succeeded Mir. Joy as president of the Packard company MT Macauley had previously taken over the active direc- tiOn of the Packard affairs and ii was in line with Mir Joys wish that he as stunned the higher responsibilities of the chief executive.
