The Salesman

1 John A. Sleicher, in Leslies. 1 The salesman is a necessary factor | in every successful business. Especially 1 is this true of the aleman who goes out 1 from his headquarters to call on the public.
 You may not think so at once, but if you
 stop to consider the salesmans place in our domestic economy, it may give you another thought In large measure, the prosperity of the country depends upon the men who sell goods. Many a factory or business house would come to standstill if it did not send rep resentatives into the field to tell the pub lie of the merits of its merchandise. The salesman is the pioneer in .busi- ness, the missionary of trade, the advance agent of prosperity.
 When he calls on you, give him min ute or two that he may tell his story. What he has to say may prove to be of great value. You have all to gain and nothing to lose by listening to him for moment
 The salesman's life is not an easy one. lie is seeking to make his living. Wife and children are dependent upon him. He is engaged in an honorable calling.
 Don't give him the cold shoulder. He is the door-opener for trade. V He can help you. Let him show you how.
 If he succeeds, you profit. If he fails, you lose nothing.
 Many a man who began with selling has become the master of big busi' ness Selling taught him the gift of mer- chandising successfully. Welcome him who may teach you things you ought to know.
 It is a freN education for you He pays for it. not you.

WAR TRUCKS WILL
 NOT DRUG MARKET
Many Worn Beyond Repair. New Trucks Needed to
 Replace Them

Trucks used for the transportation will not find their way back into the mark et," says a former member of the 102d engineers, recently returned from France, and now with the Interna- tional Motor company.
 There are two reasons why this Is transportation problem is equally as difficult now as 1t was when the war was reaching it's climax. The other is that the trucks have been subjected to such hard usage that when dis carded from military service they are junk.
 When units are broken up and re- turned for muster out, motor tranS- ports are turned over to base motor depot. Those that can be repaired are overhauled and kept in service, but many trucks are scrapped on tho ground without even being taken to a salvage dump.
 These worn-out trucks will have to be replaced by new trucks and it is doubtful Eff the number of trucks now contracted for will be sufficien. to take care of present needs.
 ilc idlil Odu olCIli Ol Y dliCc, cNcl including the temporary military rail ways is hopelessly inadequate, and motor transports are overloaded and driven at excessive rates of speed over roads that have been worn out by tret- fic night and day or ruined by bom- bardment.
 The cessation of hostilities has not relieved transportation difficulties Troops must be fed and clothed, arI the large movements of troops now taking place in France add to rather than lessen the demand for transpor- tation. The feeding of the central en- pires also adds greatly to the burden of transportation, for they, as well as the allies. are short of transportatio
 ''Then the return of the refugees to the devastated regions where railroads and nearly all roads have been badly damaged by shell fire, requires an enormous amount of motor transporta- tion. These people require supplies of all kinds. in addition to clothing and food, with which to rebuild or restore their ruined property.
 Factories, stores, homes and even farms must be rebuilt, and until the entire war ruined area is restored there will be no lessening of the tremendous demand for trucks"
