Two Dark Sides

"Cyrus Rasp ran grocery store
down on the corner for about 26
years." related old Riley Rezzidew; OF
Petunia, "and as he done so utilized
about half of his time in denouncing
the public for lot. of thieving hypo-
critics, who prayed loudly with one
hand on the Sabbath and beat him
out Of his just dues with the other on
week days, figgeratively speaking, of
course. Said he ort to know, if any
body did, that 65 per cent of all hu-
manity was Intentionally dishonest.
"Well, then a Teller came along and
gave him about twice what: it was
worth for his store. And ever since
he has been declaring that 90 per cent
of. the retailers are and always have
been thieves and robbers, and MEM
tioning that he ort to know if any
body does. And as far as I can make
out, he's pretty nearly right on both

"HER HUSBANDS

Study Local Conditions,
Babson Advises

IF your products are consumers
goods-that is, bought by the general
public dather than any particular
group or industry-it is safe to say
that your marketing plan should be
built for the city as a unit" says
Roger W. Babson, the we'll known
statistician, in Forbes Magazine IN.
W
"If you are in the retail business,
obviously you must operate on this
unit; but if you are doing rational
business you can readily increase your
sales efficiently by following the same
plan.
Conditions are not alike in any two
cities at one time, and sales possibil
tiles in adjoining localities may diff
fer by as wide a margin az Sc to 60

that the campaign, designed to sell
the country as whole, will be 100

these different circumstances. It is

70 to 80 per cent on every dollar you
spend in advertising and sales effort
if you will take the trouble to study
each city and fit your plans to local
conditions whatever they may be.

some sales managers, advertising men
and credit men who claim they are
not operating by luck and chance, but
by intuition.
Intuition is wonderful thing
when it works. I have great respect
for it-when it works. But it doesn't
always work. Intuition is what
