THE PROBLEM OF GETTING COM
MISSION Statesmen TO STICK
Selling an Automobile


TRYING to sell automobiles is no
i cinch. My experience with the
Glider Car was such that I take off my
hat to the successful automobile sales
man. He's got to be as clever as the life
insurance salesman.
Bruno Duke said that we couldn't run
the class in automobile salesmanship
until had actually sold some cars.
1.-The man who is on the job can tell
in very short while whether you are
talking from actual experience or are
just bluffing. If we are to succeed we
must teach from experience.
Well, the Detroit local manager, Odd,
gave me some leads and promised me
demonstration with a car any, time
needed it.
The first call I made was on a widow
who wanted a car for pleasure. She
was elderly, rich and very fond of a
young harumscarum, who was her sis
ter's only son.
Seeing she was elderly, talked about
the comfort and luxuriousness of the
carlow it fairly glided over the roads
l told her how safe it was and how
easy to control. In fact, 1 emphasized
the qualities of the car that would ap-
peal to an elderly lady.
"How fast can she go?" asked the
nephew.
Fast enough for all regulations

traffic at two miles an hour if neces

the issue, for the widow made an ap.
pointment for a ride the next after
noon.
1t was there I fell down. I realized
it when it was too late, of course. .,
The demonstrator drove me up to tn,
house the next afternoon, and in few
minutes the widow and were seated il

and the demonstration were getting quit
chummy.
We went along at sixteen or eighteel
miles an hour until we reached the edg
of the city, and then that crazy demon
strator opened her up, and in feV
minutes we were rushing along at forty
five miles an hour.
The old lady gave yell and clutches
hold of me.
"Stop it; it's running away! sh
yelled, and she let go of me and clutch

the car to swerve.
That settled it,. The poor sld lady

Feasting on Honey

Feasting on Honey
"PUMBLE umble- buzz-z-z-z-z-zw

upward. There above them hovered a
huge, fuzzy creature looking like a
small sized elephant flying in the air.

his bee voice, and scoot they did under
the leaves of friendly violet plant.
"Bumble umble e-buzz-z-z-z-z! Peggy
Bee and Billy Bee, where have you

Peggy looked at Billy and Billy looked
at Peggy and then they both wrinkled
up their bee faces into broad grins.

exclaimed Billy, "but how big he has

Peggy and Billy were surprised, too,
but they were not so much disappointed,
even though Bundle Bee Buzz with his
gauzy wings, his black, fuzzy hair and
his golden stripes certainly was more
handsome than they. Secretly each had

"Come on, I'll show you how to find

getting his disappointment and diving
into honeysuckle bloom. Peggy and
Billy found that their bee noses were
being tickled by a most appetizing odor
like the kitchen at home on Thanksgiv-

this odor they plunged into honeysuckles
and there they found little cups filled
with a most delicious drink--a drink
like honey and even more delightful.
