SALESMAN WHO.
KNOWS HOW CAN
BUILD MARKET.
Mann Tells Merchants He
Is Link Between Jobber
and Retailer.
MUST STUDY JOB
Window Displays Also
Strong Factor in Selling
Merchandise.

The salesman is the link between
the retailer and the manufacturer or
jobber. Nothing can promote trade in
San Antonio more than for salesman
ayers of local concerns to educate
their statesmen SO that they will be
expert merchandisers and will be able
to assist the merchant in putting a
sale over, said Fred p. Mann, in his
sixth trade week speech at the Gun
ter Hotel Friday night. when speak
ing on, 1.-THE Responsibility of the
Salesman as a Market Builder"
The salesman is the one who brings
the country town merchant new ideas.
He informs him of the styles, of the
new methods of merchandising and
the price level throughout the sur
rounding country. Without the sales
man, said Mr.. Mann, merchants
progress would slow up Immediately
and would have difficulty in exist
ing.
Must Aid the Merchant.
1T seems at the present time that
the statesmen throughout the country
are realizing that they can build the
market" said Mr.. Manr make money
for themselves and their firms in aid
ing the merchant to put a sale over.
They are grasping the idea that this
is part of their job. A salesman can
help to make window displays, he can
aid I'm arranging stock and often. can
assist the merchant in selling his mer-
chandise directly to the consumer.
Il do not believe that there is any
thing that can promote trade faster
in San Antonio than for you local
salesmanagers to educate your sales
man in merchandising. They should
be experts before trying to sell mer-
chandise to the retailer.
Il am a great believer in demon
STATIONS. Here is a wonderful OPP
portunity for the salesmanager to
cash in after he has educated the
salesman. Often a salesman can make
a demonstration on Saturdays after
noon or during leisure hour.
Cooperation Is an Aid.
"There is a wonderful opportunity
Tor the manufacturer and jobber TO
cooperate with the retail merchant
lin this way.
Il would suggest that your trade
extension department of thd Chamber
of Commerce hold public sales demon
strations, possibly in this hotel where
everybody could attend. Statesmen
need instruction in every phase of
merchandising for they are the ones
that bring information to the retailer
as to style, kind of merchandise on
the market, prices and other data
valuable in merchandising"
This is the last of Mr.. Mann's pub
lie speeches in San Antonio during
trade week. The buying season win
continue into next week during which
time an extensive Entertainment pro-
gram has been arranged, there being
an event planned for practically every
day and night. According TO several
of the merchants including A. +.
Wakefield, C. C. Wolfe, William
Ochse. w. r. King, Reagan Houston.
Harry Half and others. a larger
crowd of visiting merchants is expected
TO arrive in San Antonio during next
week.

When Hope springs up beside brave Mem

Sweet growing in the hearts of every one
Woman or man, who proudly gave a son.
Some have come back, but some, alas

And, with smile of youth and hope and
cheer
Make day OF night and Summer all the
year.
Yes, some came back, olear-eyed and
strong and whole
Conquerors, they. in body and IN soul.
Wearing their honors with such modesty
That, through our tears of pride, we
scarce can see.
But some came back all broken on the

soldiers feel
The need of patience in adversity-
The need to learn the lesson which
through Thee
We all must learn They had their Cal

On Freedoms battleaelds their bodies fair
Were as the bread He broke, q symbol

In that high chamber; and their blood as

They split, Christlike, for us-your sons
And now, like Him. this Resurrection
morn,
They lift themselves above their wounds

Respondent crippled though they are,
Whose souls have need to heal, nor show
the scar,
Though bodies cannot. Ever in this life
They'll bear the badge and burden Of the
strife.
And those. our dead who could no longer
stay.
But, like their Lord, have passed upon
their way;
They sang Resurgam with their dying
breath,
Blending together Liberty and Death!
The Lord has risen! He has risen, In

And with Him those brave souls to inter-

On our behalf. who only stand and wait
Until we're bid to enter at that Gate

DEPORT STRIKE
BREAKERS

New York.-Alien strikebreakers
employed at the railroad shops of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey are
being examined here. Many of them
have been deported They entered
the country as seamen and then left
their vessels. They are a mixture of
Hindus, Malays, Egyptians and other
far-east peoples.
Similar strikebreakers are employ
ed by the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western railroad, another corporation
that has locked out it's shop men.
When the strikebreakers were ar
rested it was found that some of them
were afflicted with the dreaded di-
sease trachoma, also tuberculosis and
other contagious diseases.
Locked out shop men are pleading
that the presence of these diseased
strikebreakers be protested by the
public if for no other reason than self
preservation, as deadly contagious
diseases are indiscriminate in select
ing victims.

FAVORS ANTI-UNION
SHOP
Swashbuckler Dawes Urges
Republicans to Back it
in Next Campaign

Washington. - Brigadier General
Charles G. Dawes, Chicago banker
and all'round-e 'em -alive swasb-
buckler, wants the administration
party to declare for the anti-union
shop in the next presidential cam
paign.
A newspaper correspondent wires
this story from Florida, where the
presidential party is. He SAYS Dawes
and Attorney General Daugherty in
slst that a clear-cut declaration for
the anti-union shop will gain the sup
port of business men (and make party
contributions easy). Daugherty also
favors campaign for law enforce
ment. His views on this subject are
the same as he expressed in Federal
Judge Wilkerson's court last July
when he presented an injunction that
the court o. KID. Under that writ a
person was in contempt of court if he
fed railroad strikers baby or bought
food for the strikers family.
Daugherty's plea for law enforce
ment has no reference, of course, to
violation of safety laws by railroads
or to the Arkansas mob that has
usurped government.
Brigadier General Dawes was for
merly member of the presidents
bureau of the budget and secured
some newspaper notoriety by his pro-
family before a congressional COM
mittee.
Daugherty and Dawes may prove
the comedy hit of the next campaign.
With the publicity given them, they
could capitalize it as the Gold Dust
Twins in .big time" vaudeville.
