THE TRAVELLING SALESMAN

The man who has never sold goods
has little conception OF the require
mems required for real salesmanship.
Most people imagine a travelling sales
man to be an affable, hashily dressed
man who enters a store. leans against
the counter. crosses his legs. Tits his
latest model sky-piece on the back OF
his head. and without introduction
opens up with a rapid fire and never
ending flow OF talk

It would be safe to wager that there
are a score of articles manufactured
in Richm ond that are unknown to so
per cent of the people of Richmond.
The manufacturers are partly to blame
for this condition. They are hiding
their light under bushel locally
while exerting themselves to get a
market in distant places
How many local people are there
who are aware of the fact that Rich

the largest flavoring extract plant in

The speaker OF the evening was Dr.

Thomas B. Howell chairman, called
on several others to make short talks.
Among them being W. A. Clark. sccre-
tary of hardware association here;
r. J. Jacobs. OF Stevens Point, Wis.
Then came the story OF an old Mule.
c. W. Vaughan told this story Just as
the old darky was talking to his en-
ployer on the phone. 1t kept the
crowd in roar from start to finish.
The table was set with a large pad

was string of Red, White and Elue
lights. The arch holding these lights
was covered with flowers. Name plate
