QUALIFICATIONS FOR
SUCCESSFUL SALESMANSHIP
Always Give Your Competitor Square
Deal and Fever Knock.

In the third of the series of lectures
on craftsmanship at the Y. NJ. c. A.
Tuesday night l.. NJ. Crandall empha-
sized the following as necessary quail
hcations for those desiring to make a
success of selling: First. a knowledge
of the goods or service; second, a
knowledge of the customer, third, a
knowledge of the salesman.
These things can be learned by study
from books and careful observation in
actual experience and also consultation
with other well qualified statesmen.
A good salesman always gives his
competitor a quare deal and never
knocks. He sells his goods on their
merit because he knows their worth.
He knows their worth because he has
studied the goods. He succeeds be-
cause he knows how to read the per-
sonality of the customer and thereby
what will please the Gus
toner most. Most clerks fail to recog-
nize the value of service to their GUS
toners.

FRANK VALLADYS BODY
FOUND IN RIVER
Discovered by Guardsn1an Who Pulled
IL Ashore Yesterday Morning.

The body of Frank VaIIady, who was
known about the city as the King
of the Rose of New England" was

o'clock Tuesday morning in the rear
of the bank buildings on the Shetucket

permission to remove it.
AS far as it can be learned it is I'M
derstood that Valladv lived in a hut
built close to the wall of the old dam
in GreeneviI1e and was in the habit of
earning his living by doing odd jobs
about the city. He was crippled, haV-
ing lost the whole of one foot except
the heel and on the other foot the toes

when the water rose and washed him
out Of his hut while he slept.
