SWAN DELIVERS
FINE TALK ON
SALESMANSHIP

Various phases of salesmanship
were interestingly presented to a
small crowd at the Majestic theater
last night by Hugo Swan in his sec
ond and final lecture in this city.
In opening his address, he urged
those selling to always analyze the
products which they have to sell in
order that they may intelligently
present their products to the buying
public. And of primary Importance
in the art of salesmanship, Swan
stated, is the art of being able to
capably present ones ideas about the
commodity being offered. 1t is the
salesperson's place to make folks de-
sire articles which are on the mar
ket he informed his audience, and
to want it badly so that a sale can
be effected. For in the last analysis,
Swan added, you as a salesman or
saleSWoman are the interpreter of
the product which you are selling
and you must interpret it intelligent
ly and capably if you are to dispose
of it,"
Mentioning several guide-posts
which sellers should follow in their
profession, Swan suggested that they
should never beg a person to buy.
such a CUSTOM" he Vouched has
become a thing of the past and al
ways creates suspicion in the minds
of the buyer"
AS a second guide post, he urged
the sales folk to always quote one
price to everyone for discrimination

Constance Talmadge To
Quit Movies For Kitchen

NEW YORK, March 9.--After COM
pleting three more pictures for the
First National Pictures, Inc Con-
stance Talmadge will forsake the
silver screen for the kitcehn, it was
announced today by Joseph schenck,
her brother in-law. She expects to
have completed her contract with the
First National organization early
next year.
Miss Talmadge, who recently was
married to Alaistair Macintosh, an
Englishman, made known her inten-
tion. to retire when Schenck asked
her if she would later join United
Artists.
Miss Talmadge met her husband
when she was in England four years
ago.
Schenck also announced that John
Barrymore, after he has finished his
present contract with Warner Broth
ers would join the United Artist
group. He will become permanent
member of the company and will
own his own company and pictures.
Schenek said that Barrymore did
not intend to retire from the stage,
but that his work on the legitimate
would not interfere with picture
making. Barrymore probably will
make about two piotuPes of the
super special class each year.
Buster Kellton also will go to

friends and cause trouble among GUS
toners. Giving a third guide post,
the speaker brought forth the princi-
pal of always telling buyer that
he may have his money back if he
is not satisfied. Such procedure al
ways brings confidence in the mind
of the purchaser, the speaker de-
clared, and helps to make the sale.
1t is not only the duty of sales
people to follow these principles but
about the value of advertising, Swan
urged. Advertising, he remarked, has
become a great labor-saving device
and has proved to be economically
sound if properly used.
Perhaps the most interesting por-
tion of Swans talk was that devoted
to a discussion of how a salesman
or saleswoman can make appeal to
the customer. TT is always wise for
such persons to improve themselves
so that they may become more effec-
tive in their field" he asserted and
then mentioned first the Importance
of being well-dressed. CLOTHES to
the salesperson are what a hammer
is to a carpenter" the speaker con-
tinued, land unless you look neat

able impression
He then went on to list manner
isms and habits which often detract
from the effectiveness of one selling
goods and listed among these detri-
mental practices such things as talk
ing too much to a customer, smoking
or chewing gum when making a
sale.
AS climax to his talk, Swan told
the sales folk present that they must
realize above all else that a customer
represents money and that it is their
duty to phase and accommodate every
customer if business is to be good
"A customer is always a great asset,
he stated, "and everything may be

arities of the individual buyer and
often listening to the woes of the
person, if necessary.

Editorial Comment
Sound Advice From the President

On. Y. World)
The President is absolutely right
when he states that any appreciate
surplus in the current fiscal year
should not be regarded as justify
ing further reduction of taxes but
should be used to benefit the tax
payers by reducing the national
debt. The Unexpectedly high yield
Of taxes during the past year was a
result of prosperous business con-
ditions which will not continue in
definitely. Furthermore, the full eff
feet Of this years tax reductions
will not be felt until 1927. For these
reasons the surplus in the Treasury
on June 80 is not likely to be dupli-
Gated twelve months hence. The
strictest economy may be necessary
in order to avoid deficit next year
and the imposition Of higher taxes.
No better use can be made of
surplus than that which President
Coolidge has indicated. The more
rapidly the debt is retired the less
it's total cost in interest and princi-
pal Fer every additional year that
each billion dollars of our national
debt runs the total cost to the tax
payes is increased by some $4,000, 900.
The time to reduce the debt burden
Is now, while the country is prosper
Gus and money Is plentiful The
President has taken the unpopular
side of very important question.
but the course which he advocates is
wise and sensible.

NEW ENGLAND IN TRANSIT.
"a TON"

"New England in Transition" II a
feature Of June's Review of Reviews
that should not escape the notice Of
New Englanders. Perhaps 1t IL
enough to say that Thomas Nixon
Carver, Frank A. Waugh, Owen d.
Young. e. G. auckland and Stuart
L. Rich contribute to symposium
on this really interesting subject
New Englanders need to be told
some things and in this instance the
telling is interesting as well as in
structive. Mr.. Carver gracefully re-
minds us that certain of our fore
bears decided that: Brown bread
and the gospel make q FEAST" that
the belief in the virtues of plain
living and high thinking has not
been eliminated; that we have not
forgotten the lesson they taught of
how to overcome difficulties in soil
and climate, how to live within our
means, how to venture in enterprise.
how to equip brains for directing
the development of the entire coun-
try. not forgetting to secure share
in the profits Of SO doing.
Mr.. Rich concludes that Boston,
though a polyGlot city with a popu-
lation less than half of which is of
Anglo-S Saxon stock, is nevertheless
today city retaining and cherish
ing the Puritan tradition. Mr.
Waugh concludes the New England
ducts which should be grown near
the environment of the consumer, has
profitable markets at his door and
reasonable hope of advantage from
cultivating a somewhat stubborn
soil. All agree that as a summer
playground New England has no
peer-always remembering. we trust,
that Maine is a very important fac
tor in that advantage.
How many of our agriculturists
appreciate the fact that in the mat
ter of fresh vegetables New Eng
land does not suffer by comparison
with any other section; that she
has furnished the most successful
plant breeders of the country, that
even Burbank began his career in
this part of the country, and that
the Baldwin apple, the Concord
grape and the Rhode Island Green
ing bear witness to this? 1t will do
us no harm to think on these things
and be resolved that New England's
stamina, enterprise and ideals are a
heritage to cherish.

Each night during Merchants
Week, beginning Monday. Main
street and Broadway in the business
section of this village will be clear
ed of all cars at o'clock and as
soon as cleared Main street will be
roped off at Church street on the
north and the Exchange hotel on the
south, and Broadway will be roped
off at High street on the east and
Pleasant and Depot streets on the
west, all traffic being diverted around
the enclosed territory. Parking
spaces have been provided on other
streets and In open fields, and park
ing direction will be given by the
police. No parking in the enclosed
territory will be permitted during
this week between the hours of p.
NJ. and A. NJ, and the parking of
cars all night in this section, which
has been the custom of some all the

This latter order is due largely to
the fact that one car which has been
parked nights on Broadway. right

run into twice to the damage of
other cars.
