pie behind the counters. These sales
are lost, saSd Mr.. Vail, because the
people behino the souhn" "Sps!l tbs
Beans" He told of one firm which
lost the trade of six or seven wealthy
people because a clerk made a mis-
take in the treatment of customer.
The--eablic does not like distant or
1 stat Lh clerks, but do like attentive
cisrAss and those who are courteous.
He told of various people whom he
knew who went into different stores to
purchase articles, but did not do so
for the reason the clerks were inatten-
tive. Fifty per cent of the clerks of
the stores are merely walters, not
statesmen. They do not sell goods,
they wait on you. He said the clerks
are employed to show goods snd never
to doubt customers judgment. He
advised the clerks to always tell the
truth and the firm that has these kind
of clerks are going to get the busi-
ness
ship from the Merchants viewpoint.
He told of people who had been
driven out of the stores because of the
action of the clerks and pointed out
that customers are too valuable to a
firm TO be allowed to slip through
their fingers. The crowds are going
where the best merchandise are dis
played and values are to be received,
said Mr.. Dorr. The store of today is
a Woman's Club. and he pointed out
that the main thing necessary is to
display the goods and give service.
If the salesman knows the goods and
how to display them they will sell them
selves, maintained Mr.. Dorr. He said
customers are too hard to get TO loose
them. The store that ceases TO grow
begins to die said Mr.. Dorr in clos
ing.

Salesmanship from the merchants
and Customer's viewpoint was the
topic discussed at the second forum
meeting of the Board of Trade. held

The speaking was opened by Presi-

Salesmanship from the customers
viewpoint was then discussed by Mr..
Vail. He said that everyone is a sales

every man is a salesman to a certain

ADM|TSHE SHOT
M0THER-|N-LAW
WHO D|EDLATER
Mike Corbus Held in County
Jail After Shooting Two and
Himself at keaSbey
Ru stnn Cnrresnondenf.


NEW BRUNSWICK, March G.
Murder will be the charge made
against Mike Cirbus of Youngstown,
Ohio, as Mrs. Elizabeth Mondics, of
Smith street, Keasbey, whom he shot
on Tuesday night, died at the city hos
pital at Perth Amboy as result of
the two bullet wounds inflicted upon
her.
Cirbus confessed to the shooting
yesterday to the Woodbridge police,
afetr he had been committed to tho
county Jail by Recorder Ashley on
charges of assault and attempt to
kill. He had previously denied this
fact.
The trouble occurred late Tuesday
night, when Cirbus came home in a
drunken condition and demanded that
his mother-in-law, Mrs. Mondics, pre-
pare something for him to eat, which
she refused to do. Cirbus then whip
ped out a revolver and shot his
mother-in-law twice, one bullet TAX
ing effect in the face and the other In
the thigh.
Says he was Shot.
When questioned by the police In
Woodbridge, Cirbus declared that he
had in turn been shot by his father-in-
law who rushed in the room after
= hearing the shots fred at Mrs.ssMon'
dies. He also declared that another
revolver had been used.
Both the foregoing statements are
now known to be false since Cirbus
told Warden Goodwin of the county
jail, that he had attempted to kill him.
self after he had seen that he almost
killed his two relatives. He stated too
that he hal been in an intoxicated
condition and did not known what he
was doing and was sorry that he had
not succeeded in ending his own life.
Warden Goodwin said that Cirbus
appears to be in a bad condition as
his clothes are saturated with blood
and he intends to call in the county
physician, DR.. Suydam, and have the
man attended to.
Cirbus received two bullet wounds;
one in the right arm and another one
entering his body directly over the
heart.
To Perform Autopsy.
County Detective Peltier has sent
for Dr. Suydam to perform an autopsy
on Mrs. Mondics at the undertaking
establishment of Michael Zylka on
ktate street Perth Amboy.
John Mondics, the father-in-law oi
Cirbus, was shot in the neck when he
entered the room where the shooting
was taking pace and attempted to
wrest the revolver from Cirbus. He
finally succeeded in getting the revolv-
er away from Cirbus and when the
police entered the place he had 1t in
his hand, and Cirbus seeing chance
to place the blame on some one else,
declared that Mondics had done the
shooting. This matter was cleared up
by his confession. Mondics will re-
cover from his wound.
