Successful SaleSmanShip BY II. J. Barrett

by aggressiveness--rather by the lack
Of 1t. The quiet, gentlemanly bearing
OF man who feels sure OF himself
and anticipates friendly reception
Is the proper one for salesman. II
YOU go out looking for trouble, you'll
find It, II you go out with the idea
OF helping a mans business by in
ducing him TO SEQ the merits Of your
product, he is likely to meet you in
the spirit that such a viewpoint
creates. Aggressiveness Is not the
word to describe qualification Of a
salesman, 'Poise' comes nearer TO
hitting the mark"

The question of CONSUMPTION in
Canada has brought to the worlds
attention the fact that Quebec and
its French-Canadian population are
a distinct and rather set-apart factor
in the life of Canada. The general
conception, and a correct one, of the
vast Dominion just across our north
ern border, is that It is q country
much like our own, trimming over
with the energy that grasps all
modern innovations. It surprises
many, however, to learn that in some
parts Of the Province Of Quebec con
ditions have changed little since the
days of the first French pioneers.
This is true only, however, Of some
parts of Quebec. for all the re-
mainder of the Dominion is exceed
ingly up-to- date.
The French Canadian of Quebec is
above all else a landowner and
psssionately attached to his acres.
