How TO Sell the stin Upper Lip

You've seen people with those long
stiff looking upper lips. with more than
the normal distance between the nos
trils and the mouth. How should you
treat them when you want to sell them
something?
They are not easy to sell. They prove
extremely aggravating TO great many
people. They are the kind who remain
obdurate after the most conclusive proof
or demonstration.
The quickest route to their name on
the dotted line often is a roundabout
one. Your course of least resistance with
them is to find out their opinions and
then fit your proposition to those
opinions. Every time you try to bend
their opinions toward your own propo-
sition you strike resistance. 10 your
own opinions, no matter how well au-
thenticnted, they turn deaf ear. They
are Indifferent to them, though they may
fool you by listening politely and Rc-
ouiescing courteously. But in their own
minds they aren't paying much atten :
ton to them.
You have to use strategy. since they
are not very likely to adopt your
opinion, you must set the stage for
them to draw for themselves the con
clusions you want them to. You have tc
do it carefully. 1t serves no purpose tc
contradict them. They do not have this
pcculiarity Of theirs because they. are
instinctivcly antagonistic. They don't
take the opposite side in an argu
ment just because it is the opposite side
They are not necessarily combative lun
less the head shape indicates this). They
are just Indifferent to the views OF
others.

I've had nothing TO do with them since
and hope never to again. Am / right?
why did they act this way? Just the

You should have let your mother send
them home. The right kind of people
would not have called you baby, and
what do you care anyway? Those boys
were very rude and should be told they
cannot behave that way in a girls house.
