Mr.. Helm believes in preparing the way
for the canvaSsers. He has made 4
study of advertising and uses it with
telling effect. A great deal of space is
taken in the local newspapers. lie
showed me a large scrap book i'll which
he keeps clippings of all his advertise
ments, classified according to ma
chimes and seasons. | scanned some
Of those advertisements and was i'm
pressed with the skill with which they
had been prepared, both from the
standpoint of copy and display.
II asked Mr.. Helm how he wrote his
copy. and he replied that he wrote his
advertisements just as he would talk
to his customers face to face. He be-
lieves in putting as much as possible
in his headline. and in starting right
out with what he wants to say. IL 1t
is hay machines, he says so at once.
He says he doesn't believe in trying to
;n4n ~
tisements Some of his advertisements
are short. and some go very much in
to detail. but all are written frankly.
honestly and forcibly.
'This year he has been driving home
the economy of using np-to-date ma
chimes. He proves that machines are
cheap by showing i'll actual figures
what they save. For instance, one OF
his advertisements had for its caption
If you were offered an engine for
nothing would you take itT Then the
body of the advertisement showed how
an engine that operated successfully
on kerosene paid for itself in the diff
ference between the price of kerosene
and gasoline.
"Mr. Helm also carries on heavy iii
rect mail campaigns Every evening
the statesmen turn in report on the
prospects they have seen. whether sales
were effcted. or if not, why not. Pros
poets are questioned as to other pros
poets, and names so obtained are re-
ported. These names are all tabulated
and card indexed. Mr.. Helm personal
ly goes over these lists and indicates
what to mail and when. He considers
every name worth his own individual
attention.
Last year he sent out 1000 calen-
dars. one to practically every farmer
whether a customer or not. Mr.. Hem
writes all circular letters, and by
checking the lists himself is able so to
adapt his letters to the needs OF The
prospects as to give them every appear
ance of being personally dictated. The
company has a considerable Bohemian
trade. and letters to these people are
written in Bohemian. the TRANSACTIONS

II have gone into stores where the
offices were cluttered with literature.
heaped around in assorted piles. and it
would require an hour TO lind any par
ticular piece. Not so at Helms. Helms
Office is provided with neat cupboards
where all literature furnished by the
manufacturers is carefully kept, classi-
fed according to machines. Mr.. Helm
says he figures every piece Of it is
worth money. He even saves old cata-
logs. Occasionally he takes in an Old
machine in trade. and the old liter
ature furnishes the information and
sales points that enable him to dispose
of the old machine or to order any
necessary parts.
Zone more word about service. As
I have said. Mr.. Helm believes in eff
cient after-sales service. No charge is
made for ordinary sales service
made for ordinary field service. He
carries full line of repairs OH all ma
chimes he sells. A perpetual inventory
is kept, and if customer telephones
for a part he can be told almost in
stantly whether the part desired is IN
stock. Almost always the parts are
on hand If not. the parts required
for machines obtained through him
or which he handles. are ordered by
wire. to be shipped by express.
"Among the customers of the Helm
Implement Co is a farmer who came
from Dubuque. Ia. Mr.. Helm was talk
ing to a friend about this man and re-
ferred to him as the man from Du-
buque Is Dubuque in your territory,
Frank?' asked the friend. Sure, Du-
buque's in our territory" was the re-
ply. The fact is they have stores at

at is perhaps useless for me to say
that the present business depression Is
psychological. In fact. know that it
is real depression. and that it may
take q long time for us to get out OF.
But when | come across dealers here
and there who are doing business as
usual. it makes me wonder how much
of the slump is due to the attitude of
the dealers themselves, whether a
more aggressive and confident policy
on the part of the dealers as whole
would not do much to dispcl the gloom
that has been hanging over us. Any
