STOCKDALE CONDUCTS
BUSINESS INSTITUTE
Min0t Merchants Are Going to School
This Week-Noted Expert Drives
Many Points Home.

Frank Stockdale, eminent business
specialist Of Chicago, is conducting
business institute in the city this week
which is attracting the attention of
every business man and salesman Of
the city and many from adjoining
towns as well. Mr.. Stockdale is q
man of wide and varied experience
and has travelled extensively, giving
him particularly rich sources Of in.
formation about the various and COM
pick problems which confront the man
Of business and the salesman in the
performance of their duties. Mr..
Stockdale is plain, unassuming gen
tleman, and his talks are free from
all oratorical polish. His methods Of
imparting information vary 80 greatly
from those employed by the general
run Of public lecturers that in some
instances his auditors fail tc grasp
the significance Of statement at first
owing to the subtle way in which he
brings out the fundamental truths of
his address. Like the true 2etlagog
he teaches by the inductive process.
He emphas sized promptness as the car
dinal principle Of the successful bust
ness man. He attributed many mems
success to window display and lib
eral use Of printers ink. Speaking
Of the business mans creed, he said
that it had been defined as "Buy,ng
IN cold blood and selling with enthu-
Uiasm", but eajoined his hearers from
falling into the general practice Of
merchants in ''buying with enthusiasm
and selling in cold blood". He illue-
trated this fact by stating that the
principle has been described as +he
