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

CLXyI
NIELL, we had our usual round table
w meeting OF the Magnitude Life In
surance statesmen last night and we had
topic assigned for discussion. The topic
was How to Overcome Objections"
Mr.. Goldman came in for a little while
and said that the successful salesman
anticipates objections and thinks OF
what he * going to say in answer 10
them before he calls on prospect. THE
trained salesman" he said. has cinch
II he knows what to cay about his goods
and knows all the objections and argu-
ments which the buyer can make. but
the buyer doesn't know what the sal"s
man is going to say. The trained sales.
man is like the trained prize fighter
boxing with fellow who hasn't learned
how to use the gloves There's nothing
to 1t. It's just n case of bff-bing and
bring on the fowers!"
Goldman asked If any of us had ohjec-
tions which had stumped us during the
last few days so your humble servant
pipes up and says. Yes. I got one tina;
gave me the count. What would you say
when fellow says he can't take any in
surance because he owes a lot of money
and wants to pay his debts first
ASK him which debt he considers

or dies. that is. If he has insurance o,

shook my head
Yes. this man didn't take out any in

all he had to an orphan asylum
How much did he leave?"

Judge Hause concluded his charge to

provided by law in the event of convic-

business. His income was scarcely
sufficient TO maintain the handsome
homes he owned and pay his doctors
bills. When he died in 1914 he left
real property of only 81 900 and per
sOnal property of only $4,000.
Thus his family were left really
penniless, in comparison with their
relatives, who include some of the
richest persons in the country. Not
only was Mr.. Hartman a cousin Of
the late Z. Fl. Hartman, but his sis
ter is the present Mrs. w K. Wander
bilt. When Mrs. J. Borden Harri-
man found herself left without
means she Immediately turned her
beautiful country house, "Uplands, "
near Mount Kisco, n. Y, into sani-
tarium for refined and prosperous
invalids
In spite of her poverty and in
terest in serious affairs, Miss Ethel
Hartman has not neglected society.
Her personality was so attractive
that she enjoyed as much popularity
and attention as the richest of her
friends. For several seasons the
Borden Harrimans took little house
in a back street at Newport and the
young people of the Summer colony
enjoyed themselves as much there as
at the greatest palaces on Bellevue
avenue.
Miss Hartman could undoubtedly
have had her pick of the richest and
most eligible young men in the New
port colony, but she preferred to
wait for one who had done some
thing, even though he waE compare

His father, Charles Rowland Rus

yer, with a strong interest IN art and
literature, who has long been known
as one of the most popular clubmen
In New York. Lieutenant Russell's
mother was Miss Jane Potter, daugh-
ter of the late Bishop Potter, after
whom he is named.
So it will be seen that this is in
every way a most inspiring, refresh

He put the engine in working order

The ambulance returned safely TO
the hospital and in a few days was
relieved from emergency duty in this
section.
By that time Lieutenant Russell
had amply demonstrated that he was
the right sort of man to make suit
able husband for Miss Hartman.
They planned to be married quietly
and without delay in Paris, and to
trust to the fortunes of war for their
future happiness. Their family and
friends were completely surprised by
the announcement.
The young woman, who met her
fate under such supremely romantic
circumstances, had already had
life unusually full of interesting ex-
periences for one so young. She has
been a valuable assistant to her
mother, who is well known as one Of
the most energetic and public
spirited women in America
Mrs. J. Borden Hartman is
handsome young looking woman still
in the prime of life. She has filed
more offices of a public and semi
public character than any woman of
the day. She was chairman of the
very important Federal Relations
Committee, which enquired into the
treatment of working women all over
the country She was president of
the Women's National Democratic
Campaign Committee and of thetCol-
ony Club in New York. More re-
