DO You Go Out TO Get Your
Dinnprv1

TT Is more than twenty years since
first heard the joke about the
restaurant proprietor. You remember
it, OF course. A diner in restaurant
had steak that was so tough that a
Bowcry gunman was us sucking dove
compared to it. Exasperated, he de =
manded to see the proprietor, but was
told by the waiter: "Ye can't see i'm
he's jest stepped out to get his dinner. "
Many a laugh has been had out of
this story (and many more will follow ,
and yet some of those who laugh at it
commit the same business indiscretion.
Two Exhibit A's' in the same class
happened to me only recently.
The first one: l was visiting a friend
who was salesman for a concern who
manufactured splendid dentifrice.
The line was well advertised and scores
of times had my teeth given evidence
of its merit.
Well, while waiting for our hostess
to announce dinner, my friend showed
me around his homeland on a glass
shelf in the bathroom l noticed two
tubes of dentifrice. The proper place
the kind that he sold.
whats the matter with your own
line?" I asked.
"Er-what? Oh, yes! Nothing at
all, old man. Best line in the country.
The wife likes the other make better,
though, and it seems TO suit my teeth.
so | use it,
That's all. But somehow I've never
had quite so much confidence in my
friends line Of dentifrice as | did
before.
Now the second incident.
Some time ago l was in the market
for a new car. I had reduced the
choice to three cars, and so far as I
could see there was little to chose be-
tween them.
I eliminated one make when the
salesman (O tried to rush me into
buying by offering u demonstration car
for 500 less than regular price. "If
you buy now. Let's see if you can
snap up bargain. Now or never. Well
what do you say?" That's almost
word for word what he said.
l liked his car, but ] was scared to
look at it any more, for I knew I'd be
held up to scorn for not being "alivc"
enough to snap up n bargain. So that
left two cars to choose from.
The salesman for one of the other
makes was telling me of pleasant ride
he had taken over the week end. Cas-
ually ] asked what make he drove. 1t
was not the kind he sold!
| never said word about it, but as
his own car was as high priced as the
make he was selling, I decided to pass
it up. Honestly, wouldn't you have
done the same?
What does your concern make or do?
Are you using it in any form or do
you Ego out to get your dinner?
DO you work for an insurance COM
pany. and. if so, what size policy do
you carry? Never mind it you are not
an agent. Bookkccpcrs and stenog
raphers need insurance. Buy some from
your own concern and tell your friend
about it.
Work for a newspaper? Very well,
buy your paper (don't graft it) from a
ncwsboy or stand. If it's worth
working for it's worth boosting for.
l knew Il fountain pen salesman who
never usd a fountain peu because he
preferred pencil instead of pen and
ink
Every worker for business house
is an advertisement for that house. He
advertises confidence or distrust. If he
buys his firms goods he creates con
tidcnce and business. If he uses some
competitive make he breeds distrust.

CHINA TREATS WITH JAPAN
Views on shantuna informally Ex-

Washington, Sept. 10.--An informal
exchange of views between the Chinese
and Japanese Governments in regard to
the Shantung settlement is now in
progress, according to statements made
in a well Informed Chinese quarter.
Formal negotiations have not yet be-
gun, It was declared, because there
must first be an understanding between
the two nations before an amicable
agreement may be reached"
This Chinese authority indicated that
China entertained hopes of obtaining
better terms than those provided under
the Chino japanese treaty of 1915 and
hopes to salvage something of what
was wrecked at that time"
