he spoke generally IN their faults,

Indifference. he declared was the
chief fault with salespeople, and was
" in condemning the kind Of
salesmanship which Disseminated be-

which, prefers to say that the goods

it. Many salespeople prefer to sell TO

Knowing the rules of the game, it is
also essential to have a personality

Through direct investigation, out of
inquiries sent to 1913 customers. ask
ing to tell what was wrong with the
salespeople with whom they deal,
forty-seven direct declared
that indifference was the principal
fault, and other answers up to at least
120 indicated Indifference. This he
said, was due to the fact that clerks
do not want to serve, rather than
that. they do not know how. sHss
He also spoke of the customer who
j~ustslooks around. This person he
declared was one of the biggest assets
hat any business can have. because
such a person was sure to pass along
to her neighbors, such information as
where materials could be found, SER
vice, etc. The person who looks
around should be given the same
service and attention as given to the
actual buyer he. said.
In closing he said hat all sales

FULL RANSOM
DUE BANDITS,
SAY PASTORS
Business Men Take Sides on
Question Of Cheating
Mexican Outlaws.


Captain Leonard Matlack Of the 9Th
cavalry was not justified in beating
the Mexican bandits out Of $500 of
the ransom for the two army aviators,
Judging from the consensus of opin-
ion of Grand Forks pastors inter-
viewed this afternoon. Business men
take sides on the question.
The breaking of a promise even to
the devil, is not justifiable,'' was the
flatfooted statement of one pastor this
morning and others seemed to be- of
the same opinion. 1t was impossible
to interview all pastors of the city to-
day but generally they seem to agree
with the above statement although
two stated that they were not pre-
pared to state whether they believed
Matlack was justified or not.
Business Men Differ.
Business men of the city questioned
on this point of ethics today differed
in opinions.
One group condemns the cheating
of the bandits as ,dishonorable, de-
claring it reprehensible to break a
promise even to a criminal.
Another group contend the break
ing of a promise made under duress
is entirely justifiable.
Still another group maintain that
the bargain ought to have been car
ried out implicitly because Of the i'm
pairment of our reputation with the
bandits for good faith may embarrass
future negotiations to ransom our cit
liens.

Demonstration Will Be Civ.
en- When Tour Reaches
Here Sept. 8.

If arrangements car be made with
farmers throughout this community,
a truck demonstration will be given
in the fields here, at the time that the
National Motor Truck Development
tour makes Grand Forks. Arrange
ments are now under way by the
Commercial club. which will appoint
a ship by Motor" committee very
soon to take up the matter.
The plan of the association while
headquartered in this city, for three
days, is that trucks will go into the
farmers fields and haul loads of grain,
cattle. hogs and hay to market, and
give the farmer some estimate based
on actual experience, as to.the cost of
operations. The demonstrations will
be given with no cost to the farmer.
Sixteen Trucks to BE Here.
The caravan. which comprises
sixteen motor trucks, will come to
Grand Forks September 9, and will
remain here until September II, the
letter stated. During the stay herr
the trucks will be taken unto the
nearby fields, and demonstrations will
be given in hauling produce from the
farm to the city, and visa versa. If
possible the club will range with
several county farmers to have loads
ready to be transferred. in order to
give a practical demonstration of the
"ship by truck system.
Every truck in the caravan is pneu-
matically equipped and represent
every type of farm body in use at the
present time. The Grand Forks Com
mercial club is arranging with tho

the rural motor express movement.
and it is expected that the demonstra-
tons will be educational. as well as
