Relations With Customers.

Once contact has been made and
shipping begun, II is important that
proper business relations be established
and maintained, for on these depend
success, The difficulty frequently met
in obtaining the first order makes it
important for the producer to use bust
nosslike methods to retain the trade
that he secures.
Whether a person Is successful in
parcel post marketing depends largely
on his adaptahility to this work. If
routine and, detailed work is distasteful
to him he may never learn how to keep
up a business relationship. Thousands
OF persons who have been successful in
obtaining customers have been unsuc-
cessful in keeping them, Much has
been learned from the experience of
both successful and unsuccessful ship
perS,
The most important feature in a bust
ness relationship is a square deal. Good
| grading Of produce, strict BUSINESS hon
esty, prompt attention to correspond
ence and orders, and satisfactory ad-
iustmcnt of complaints are needed. The
consumer ~ well AS the producer should
! do his part In these matters.
