THE BEST BUSINESS POLICY

The hardest thing any executive
ever has to do" declares Frank r.
Chambers. chairman of the board of
the Rogers Peet Company, in Forbes
Magazine is TO get his people to carry
out the policies established by the
heads OF the organization. Not be-
cause they are not willing to, or lack
the desire to do whatis asked OF them,
but because they often find it difficult
to interpret that fine sense Of good
feeling which he wishes to pass on to
the customer in his desire to render
service. There Is an intangible eIe-
ment in making people feel you want
TO do all you can for them, which is
impossible TO explain to a man in
words. You can't tell him how to do
II, but you can show him. If he lives
in that atmosphere long enough he is
bound to absorb 1t. He understands
by actual experience just the part he is
expected TO play and to act that way
becomes second nature. We like to
have every salesman put himself in
the customers position and frame OF
mind, and then serve him just as he
himself would like to be served under
those conditions We don't want to
over preach the golden rule. but the
golden rule is good business"

Only One Municipal Telephone.

The city OF Hull has the distinction
OF operating the only municipal
telephone system in Great Britain.
Telephone service in the rest of the
country, with the single exception Of
one small isolated system on an is
land in the English channel, is under
the control of the central government,
operating through the post Office. In
1899 an act Of parliament was passed
permitting municipalities to operate
their own telephone systems, but only
six Of over 1900 municipalities actu-
ally constructed telephone plants. All
except Hull found the telephone VEN
ture not to their liking, and sold out.
In some cases at considerable loss.
