Something to
Think about
THE JOB AND THE MAN
ByF. A. Walker
TELLING is SELLING

TN THESE days of time-saving de-
l. vices, money-saving inventions and
effOrt-saving ideas the thinking man
finds much to interest him when he
hears another thinking man compress
a big thought into the fewest possible
words.
The literary man has name for
these examples of condensed wisdom.
He calls them "epigrams."
"Epigram' is an interesting word.
You can spend a useful fifteen min
utes studying out in some good die
tionary just what it meant In the
original Greek and how it came to
have an entirely different meaning
In English.
One of the most condensed and
meaningful phrases l have ever seen
written or heard spoken was used by
a great editorial writer who boiled
down whole sermon into three words
when he said Repetition is reputa-
ton" That is sound, unassailable
truth in the fewest possible words.
Alongside that condensation of wis
dom have filed away in my memory
the three-wOrd statement that j heard
an advertising solicitor use the other
day in convincing a prospective buyer
of publicity that advertising would be
the best possible investment that he
could make.
These were the three words he used:
Telling is selling"
That comes pretty near reducing the
statement of what advertising is to the
tewest possible words and stating 1t
n the simplest possible way.
To a greater or less degree every
human being is an advertiser.
The man or woman who dresses well
advertises prosperity.
The man or woman who uses the
proper words in the proper places and
shows broad acquaintance with facts
advertises education.
The man with the light step, quick
movement unceasing activity, adver-
tises energy, probably ambition.
You say II am a good judge of hui
man nature" That is only another
way of stating that you are an accu-
rate reader of the personal advertising
of individuals.
Every day we uncOnsCiously "tell"
Observation-Disclosures Ourselves-by our
actions, by our habits, by our CONVEX
sation. Everyday we unknowingly
succeed in or fail in selling" our
selves.
If telling is selling" it is equally
true that "Overtelling is underselling."
p. Nobody ever permanently gained
anything by wandering from the truth
Boosting is only a polite name for
lying. +a
Any buyer of men or merchandise
would rather be surprised by finding
his purchase better than he thought it
was than to discover that it failed to
come up to what he had a reasonable
right TO expect.
If you have occasion to talk about
yourself tell just what you are.
If you find II necessary to sell your
self do not bargain for more than you
can deliver.
"Telling is selling" but the telling
must be the truth and the. selling
must be on the basis of turning over
just what you have agreed to-of hav-
ing the goods test 100 per cent of
what they were represented to be.

THE RENT COLLECTOR

u ENT collecting is branch of the
IN real estate work that appeals to
many young women who are interest
ed in housing problems, and several
such have entered it from settlement
work. The landlords find that women
make better rent collectors than men,
that they. get closer to the tenants.
and that they promote a better under
standing between the parties to the
renting business.
Rent collecting is not a mere turn
ing up at the first of the month with
the demand for the rent. 1t is to the
interest of the landlord that the
houses he owns be properly run and
kept up. that undesirable tenants he
elected, and that the right kind get
right treatment. Women are good at
getting results i'm these directions. 1t
is usually the woman of the apartment
who pays the rent; it is she who has
complaints to make or alterations to
demand. And she speaks more freely
to another woman, and the other
woman understands better the usual
problems of housekeeping. 1t works
well both ways.
A rent collector is in a position to
know more than most persons about
vacant apartments, various types of
renters, possibilities of development,
bargains. There are really fine bust
ness opportunities in this line, and
women should study them.
After all, it is women who live in
the home and who manage the home.
When it comes to homes, women make
the better agents and better rent col
lectors, and women are entering the
new field with enthusiasm.

and demands that she be given to him,
as he has papers which prove that she
( is HIS daughter. The doctor suspects
be is Balzamo. who, years before, had
persuaded Mrs. Emerson to run away
with him. Then follows a unique strug-
gle in which tie two minds attempt to
master each otheT
Balzamo's power Is broken, and DR..
Emerson turns his attention to the girl,

fesses that Dorothy is DR.. Emerson's
child, as it was DOrothy's mother whom
he lured away with him many years be-
fore. Dorothy, the Becky side of her
nature forever suppressed, finds happi-
ness with John.
