BUSINESS CAREER
OF PETER FLINT
A Story of Salesmonship by
Harold Whitehead

CCN
IAELi.. the silk umbrella contest is
w over The winner was announced
ia a anal bulletin on Saturday afternoon.
but believe me. there was devil Of q
scrap before it was settled.
You see, it was like this: The FIRST
prize was to go TO the agent who Sc
cured his quota of business first. but in
planning the contest It was not an
nounced whether the prize should go 30
the one who got his qiota first or the
ono who turned in his application at
the office first
This contest had. somehow, got hold
Of all the agents OF the Magnitude Life
Insurance Company. and as several Of
us were running pretty close. there was
? lot OF excitement as 10 who would
win.
As soon as we got to the of'1ce every
evening the FIRST thing We did was to
SEQ how we stood on the laddc: Tha'
ladder with the little dolls, each repre-
s"niinC an agent certainly created lots
Of FUN, somehow. we got the idea o.
orr positions Trom looking al the lad
tor better th1n We did from the typed
list. That bunch Of little dolls all
scramb uE Gp the ladder-naue us real
lie that tho contest was on.
Las' Monday 7 bagged a fvc-huudrei
dollar policy which nut me up so seven
tN-0y" points That made me tie FOR
serond place with Merriam and Ster-
i.ue. while 'rofton was leader with
eighty points.
On, 1-,.sJo,. t'v,r.,p h.J iDp,p,J A.,
Cigdty-ciQht points while Garta jumped
20 third place with ciGhty-two points and
Merriam had p siraal, Of luck and 20.
- ninety ,poil.s .Nus heading the list
S.arliue aud We're still scvcut>.d,r
uuiu's, SO that made me tie for fourth
place
r'. change uu Wednesday. hr "u
"' 4r.d.'. : Cot that ouc-thoussnd -dn'-
~. PEI ,- for Loo. tho rcah estate m7H.
?"1 I was lucky enough to bag another
q ousaud-dol'ar policy from a book
Eeor.r who works under Francis. I've
got a hTnch that Francis had a hand
iu getting me the policy. but was real
anxious 10 win that umbrella. Not Of
course, that ! wanted it for Mary Gil
lespie, but--well. I just wanted 20 show
myself that I could do It.
The trouble was. all the other fellows
felt the same way I did about it--and
tdat means some tall hustling
Well those two policies Of mine put
ne up to niuetv-five. Crofton had
climbed 10 rinety-s!x. while Garta was
third with niuety-two
Merriam was still ninety points ana
Sterling had baggcd fifteen points worth
Of business and 50 tied with Merriam.
on FRIDAY morning we started with
the score like this
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1918-10-05

That meant that the first one to land
Il case was almost sure TO he the win
ner. Believe me- all We five had left
the office before . o'clock. all on the
hunt.
As we hustled of heard Goldman
say to Perkins: The prospects those
fellows call on today will have about as
much chance Of putting EN- off as pigs
have on flying"
was particularly clipper and felt
ready TO eat 'em alive. Francis had
promised 10 drive US to Farmdale next
Weekend in his car. Id had a brief
note from mother saying how proud
dad and she We're on account of my
standing I'm the contest. | suppose
Mary Gillespie told 'em about it--and
! had letter from Lee, the real estate
man. asking me 10 call on him at once
"on matter OF Importance L. me-" so
it's no wonder / felt "full Of pen"
Then the luc, came my way for the
very first call ! made was on the buyer
for silks al a department store that I'd
been trying to ger at for q long while
I'd seen him once or twice before and
he said he was Interested. hut I'd have
to caich him when lie wasn't busy. Time
after time I called. hut never had the
luck to find him with some time on his
hands till last Friday.
We talked over several plans and he
favored tweuty-pay ymeut life for
$1,000. but lie wanted 10 put it Off till the
first Of next month
Did he do 1t? The answer is nit He
had as much chance of putting il off as
SNOWFALL has in Gehenns
BY 10 O'Clock I had his signed appii-
cation ! phoued the office TO tel Per-
kins bur the line was busy, SO / went
10 See Lee and had surprising and
Interesting time with him.
Then ] marched into the office feeling
all stuck on myself When
opened the door I saw all the fellows
there and In minute | had all the
heart taken out of me--but in another
minute ! got mad and started things
Francis wants me TO go for walk.

The entire German economic struc-
ture 10 ON the verge Of collapse.
But we should be mad II we blind
ed our eyes to the fact that they
can hold out for years yet.
The submarine campaign has beer
an utter failure: NO shortage d
food exists or will exist
II We one and all consume not -
ounce more food than 10 absolutely
necessary to keep body and soul TO-
gether.
