How to Be a Better Sale man
And Earn Bigger Pay

To every one who reads this: The
next time a book salesman calls IN
you, listen TO him. You may or may
not want to purchase his wares, but
he is worth listening TO, anyway. He
IS in a branch OF salcsmanship. which
calls for ability Of the highest order.
Even if you don't buy from him. you
can learn much just 10y studying the
way in which he presents his propo-
sitiun.
And If you DID happen to fall for
his line" ! don't know that II would
be any particular tragedy. Books
crystalli2od knowledge are the most
wonderful invention Of man. We
can't have too many OF them--sood
ones, that is. Every good book YOU
read Will boost you just little
higher on the ladder OF success.
