position to know pretty we'll whether
man is so poor that he cannot pur.
chase his quota and they also know
very well how to handle the man who

chase.
The chairman will instruct their co
workers to be patient and courteous
in their solicitations and to discrimi-
nate between those whom they have
good reason to believe have done or
are doing their best, and to take the
name, address and reasons for not
purchasing so that this information
