At this time E. Parmly, of the Howe

well known local celebrities were more
interested in walking matches than in
business. And even the women were
effected by the craze-so much so that
it was no unusual sight to see them
making number of laps when these

This play, THE Evolution OF a.

instruction of its large sales force in

In every n. c. II. conference. his
chalk talks" are a feature. These
consist of rough sketches. hastily
drawn by the president in black and
coIored CrayOn. to drive home variousI
points brought out Throughout the
cash register plant, you will find large
paper tablets on easels and an abund-
anCe of CrayOns. and a chalk talk" is
just as likely in the shops as in the
conference rooms. The president isl
also a strong advocate of moving pic
lures.
In the staging of The Evolution of
a Store" he has resorted to dramatiCsI
as an effective means of impressing,
as well as interesting, his hearers.
The play is based on the troubles of a.
stOrekeeper. Mr.. Paterson takes the
part of the cash register agent, and
when the play had its severest try
out here recently, at the National Cash

for a total of three hours.
More remarkable-his lines" were
entirely impromptu. and he gave a.
