evidences of erudition. Some OF
them are conveniently supplied by
the learned Prof. Lounsbury, others
by the dictionaries and still others
by fifteen minutes search of the

Perhaps it is not out of place to
add that the Oxford Dictionary says
of none. "In later use commonly with
a plural verb" and the Century Die

The Standard Dictionary tells us
that none is construed In the sin
gular or The plural as the sense or
the best expression or the meaning

plural equally well expresses the

So, whether we use none as a sin

him 3 to l, up to s25. that Dana
never made such a rule. He did not

for me that he did not; but
gambled on the facts that Dana was
not a pedant or a smatterer: that
he was saturated with the spirit of
the English language. and that he
knew the usage of the writer's from
Beowulf to that editor who became
famous by hebitudinosity. The story
of the rule was one of the Dana
myths.

that none is a contraction of no one

SALES COURTESY.

The money value OF a sale may be
unimportant, but the way you handle
the sale Is the most dynamic type Of
advertising-the thing that either
makes or mars your chance of being
a business builder.
IL you are too agitated or worried
to take the time to he courteous and
obliging 10 customer for n small
article an opportunity TO build bust
ness is lost.
1t makes all the difference in the
world whether you smile or whether
you present face that speaks in
difference or annoyance at the pres
pect of waiting on the trade.
But by getting the smile habit and
drawing on the reservoir of smiles and
pleasantries you always have on hand
you can turn trifiing transactions into
large sales.
You can help 10 build UP the bust
ness for your store and by proving
your ability as a salesman be COM
pensated accordingly.
Always remember that one smile can
make miles of smiles"
Now Is the time to get busy and
brighten up the windows, rearrange

the walls and give your store an ap-
pearance OF brightness and prosperity.
