A Crackerjack Salesman?

There was man in a store was in today, said the uthorman, who thought he was crackerjack sales man."
 And was he?" I asked. Not on your tintype," said the Au- thorman; ''at least not for me-"
 I supplied the desired monosyllable and he went on.
 'I'll tell you why. I wear a forty coat, and he didn't have one, so first he put on a thirty eight and told me it looked all right. That kind of a coat ought to fit snug he said.
 Il didn't quite like myself in it, so he said there might be forty in the stockroom and sent up to see. There wasn't, and what did he do next but haul out a forty-two and put it on me and tell me that looked all right
 That Settled Him.
 That settled him for me. I might have gone back to the thirty-eight on his say-so, but not after that He showed himself up too plainly. Oh, yes, he was smooth as butter and per severing and polite. and I know he thinks he's a crackerjack salesman, but not for me. I'll look out that I don't get him the next time go there"
 I don't suppose there is anyone who hasn't met the clerk who thinks be- cause he persists in trying to make a sale by hook or crook that he is crackerjack salesman or woman.
 The girl who urges a thirty-four upon us with the assurance that they run large" and the next day tries to make us take a thirty eight because they run small, Madame" belongs to this class.

Making You Feel Uncomfortable If
 You Don't Buy.
 The clerk who forces a sale of something you don't really want by trying to make you feel uncomfortable 1T you don't take it, is another mem- Der.
 The clerk who so ungrac ciously ac- cepts a legitimate return (you notice l say "legitimate'D that she makes you feel like a criminal, is another.
 l know woman who never enters a certain department of her favorite shop because a clerk in that depart ment once made it so unpleasant for her when she wouldn't buy every time she was shown goods. That womans trade is now worth considerable money and she would like to trade in that department, but she cannot bear to, just because of a clerk who doubt less thinks herself a crackerjack sales woman.
 One Can Understand tho Temptation.
 Of course one can understand the feeling of the clerk who pushes a sale too hard. He or she is forever forced on by the economic urge. The temp tation to distorth the truth and to use unfair methods must be great. To re- member that it isn't good business should be the safest antidote.
 "Ill look out that I don't get him the next time I go there," said the Authorman.
 Is it good business to create such a feeling?
 Which is the really crackerjack salesman, the clerk who wins a sale and loses customer, or the clerk who loses a sale and wins a customer?
 The go-back clerk is the clerk who can always come back.

glass, or +shap pieces of metal, which
might be injurious to automobiles.

OPENS SALE OF AUTOS
IN PARAGUAY BY SURE
TESTS OF AMERICAN CAR

The representative of an American
motor car company, now travelling in
South America, brought to Asuncion
on Sept. % the first motor truck that
has ever been in the republic Of Par
aguay, according to United States
Consul S. H. Wiley, stationed at that
city. The Banco AgricoIa, a govern
ment institution, paid the expenses
of bringing the truck from Buenos
Aires.
Numerous demonstrations of the
truck were given,'' says Mr.. Wiley in
his report to the government more
especially to show its possibilities as
a freight carrier and hauler on the
bad roads of the country. The pres
ident of the republic, the ministers
of war and the interior and the dl-
rector of public works rode on the
truck over one of the worst roads,
and were very favorably impressed.
In addition to the actual demonstra-
tions Of the truck, motion pictures
of its performances were exhibited at

It is in traffic driving that the
motorist has the greatest opportunity
to reduce the number of accidents.
Reports prepared by the New York
Police Department show that from
January to- July last year, the ma
jority of accidents occurred from IL
a. m. to IL noon and from to z p. m.
or during the so-called Rush Hours"
The same report carries the informa-
ton that ninety per cent. of the ac-
cidents were due to carelessness or
other fault of the injured pedestrians.
But if we are to be really conscien-
tious about the matter, we must adj
NIT that just because the unfortunate
man on foot is to blame, the motorist
should not feel entirely absoIved in
the case. a little forethought on the
part of the driver, slower speed in
traffic, and less anxiety to beat the
traffic policeman's whistle should
work wonders in the way of cutting
down accidents.

by American motor car makers, traf-,

started by the various automo bile
clubs and motor trade papers along

drastic legislation. Some drivers are
more capable at thirty miles an hour
than others are at ten. The real rem
edy will be found in the loyal coop
Grafton of every man at the wheel
obeying traffic laws now in force and
reporting violations to the authori-

AS far as pedestrians are concern

offense for the man on foot to dis

is for the automobile driver to ignore

realize that absolute safety lies only
in crossing crowded thoroughfares at

Summing up matters, all drivers of
