Hasty Buying Not a
Fault of East Indians

American statesmen, trained TO high
pressure and quick-result methods,

Ohio State Journal.
A New York trained motor sales
man learned that fact when he tried
to sell a handsome motor to man of
wealth in Delhi. There had been some
reductions made public in the price
and the salesman assured the man of
wealth there could be no more reduc-
tons for at least year, using that
statement for the purpose of closing
the sale. 1t did not bring that result,

ly smiling and saying he planned a
vacation for a year and would look
over the cars on his return.
