from the last three grades of the
several grammar schools and their
Rotarian hosts made the trip to the
beautiful lakeside in flag bedecked

was the speaker of the evening and
presented one of the most interest

which it has been the privilege of
members of the club to hear. The
speaker told his audience some plain
truths regarding their deficiencies
and delinquencies in the matter of
modern merchandising. but it was all
straight from the shoulder and in
language which the Rotarians could
understand.
Speaking of the situation as he
found it upon investigation in the re-
tail stores of Augusta, Mr.. Busch
declared that the need in this city
was closer cooperation and less COM
petition.
II find the people Of this state the
most hospitable of any in the coun-
try" said the speaker. but why don't
you take that hospitality into your
places of business and apply it in
welcoming your customers?
Relationship between storekeeper
and customer should be as that Of
host and guest. Mr.. Busch told his
audience. Learn to smile, and teach
your clerks and employees to smile
and say good smrning'."
Mr. Busch recounted specific ex-
periences in meeting clerks in stores
in this city, and some of his illustra-
tions were extremely ridiculous. The
power of the speakers brief talk was
in the fact that it was all the homely
truth, and those who heard him eX-
