SALESMAN CONVENTION
LIKELY TO COME HERE
Six Hundred Cheer New Organi-
zation at Banquet at
Bellevue

Phlladelphia's chances OF getting the 1917
convention of the worlds Salesmanship
Congress were declared to be ''one lap bet
ter than New York" its chief competitor for
the honor. by Norval A. Hawkins. sales
manager OF the Ford Automobile Company
and president of the congress, IN an ad-
dress before 600 members of the local
Salesmanship Club In the Bellevue last
night.
Probably without precedent in this city
was the showing made at the dinner by
this organization. only thirteen days old.
Almost every branch of business and indus
try in Philadelphia was represented. En-
ployers, sales executives and statesmen, as
well as several hundred women. many OF
whom are also engaged i'm selling were
there, and II was doubtless the enthusiasm
which marked the entire affair that led
Mr. Hawkins. who will be one OF the COM
mittee to decide where the convention shall
be held. to express himself In terms so en-
couraging to his hearers.
Cyrus II. X. Curtis and T. J. Berlet de-
livered addresses calculated to impress the
visiting members of the executive commit
tee OF the Worlds Salesmanship Congress-
who were the guests OF honor. with the
force OF Philadelphia's claim for the 1917
convention.
Bartley j. Doyle. vice president OF the
Philadelphia Salesmanship Club. was toast
master. Mr.. Hawkins delivered the prin-
cipal address and made profOund I'M
preston. He declared salesmanship TO be
a profession. and he made a stirring appeal
for the development of better business
through better salesmanship. and the devel-
opment OF better craftsmanship through or
ganization and exchange of knowledge and
ideas.
1T is n pleasure" he said. ito sit at a
banquet and not have a drink at the speak
ers' table. Ten years ago you couldn't
have pulled of a salesmans banquet any
where in this country without everybody
feeling the liquor before the fish forks. and
expecting the fish to supply the brains"
An elaborate plan for the entertainment
OF the city's visitors. should Philadelphia
be selected as the place OF the sa esmanship
convention was announced by Mr.. Berlet
II embraces Fourth Of July celebration
a mobilization of famous military organi-
zations from every section OF the country
the presence OF the President of the United
States and Governors of the Thirteen Orig
inal States; airship and submarine demon
stration on the Delaware. and other inter-
esting features.
Mr.. Doyle. as toastmaster. presented gold
fobs 10 Charles NJ. Vessels. president OF
the Philadelphia club and Albert l.. Maltby
second vice president. for obtaining, re-
spectvely the largest and second largest
number OF members OF the organization
here.
Mr.. Curtis described Philadelphia's many
great attractions historical and Industrial
to the visiting officers OF the Congress and
expressed his earnest hope this city would
have the opportunity OF welcoming the
progressive salesmen Of the world next
summer.
