Althoff took advantage of every
help the paint company offered and
used all the advertising material it
sent him. He talked to his customers
learned when they intended to paint
and then wrote the paint company,
tional features. Soon he required a
larger stock of paint, and found the
complete stock idea a winner.
He kept records of every sale of
consequence and also noted weather
conditions, painters name and other
details. Next time the customer was
in the market for paint he invaria-
bly, sold him and the information
gained by former experience was ap-
preciated.
Althoff's storX continues:
after the paint was sold to the Gus
toner our interest in the job was not
allowed to lag. We inquired from
time to time in regard to the condi-
ton of the painted surface, and if any
thing went wrong we made an adjust
ment at once. In other words, we
never allowed customer to quit
trading with US on account of grumb-
ling or slow adjustment. The avera &c
man is inclined to be fair, consequent=
ly we had few complaints.
1.-THE sum and substance of a sue
cessfu1 paint business can be summed
UP in a few words. Sell a high grade
of paint, give service, and show your
customer that you are interested in
giving him the best paint or varnish
for any particular need. OF course,
you must know your paint and it's diff
ferent uses. The manufacturer stands
ready to give valuable aid. and the
dealer who really makes use of this,
will sell the most paint, and make
the most money

ASKS PAY. HIKE
Raise of $500 for Aggie Profs
Asked by Jardine.
A Administration Board Request
ed to Use Any Funds Available.

Manhattan, Kan, March ga SAL
airy increase of $500 for every mem
Der of the Kansas State Agricultural
DR.. w. NJ. Jardine, president of the
college, for the ensuing fiscal year. If
funds are not available for the in
crease the board of administration will
be asked to use such funds as are avail
able, creating a deficiency appropria-
>tion bill for the next legislature to
cover the amount.
The faculty in session one day this
week passed a motion authorizing the
president to take this action. The
fact that living costs for faculty MEM
bers had increased 1913 per cent in the
last four years was said to justify the
$500 blanket increase. The increase
will not completely meet the advanced
prices, but it was decided upon as a
reasonable request in view of abnor-
NAL conditions now prevailing.
Some members of the faculty feel
that they will be obliged to abandon
educational work to take up some bet
ter paid occupation for which they are
fitted unless substantial salary in
creases are provided. Within the last
six months two heads of departments
have resigned to accept positions that
paid from so to 100 per cent better
salaries. An extension worker receiv-
ing a little over $4,000 was not able to
resist the temptation of a $4,000 Of
fer since he felt an obligation to pro-
vide for the future of his family.
The last legislature did not antici-
pate the steep rise in prices that has
come in the last year. and failed to
make provision for an increased salary
budget to meet it. If the increase of
$500 for every member of the faculty
is granted deficiency in the state
treasury will therefore be created.
