Moreover every displeased customer is

First. however. let me consider the point
of view of customer, since this is something
that we all know from personal experience.
Whether we all agree as to the type of sales
woman we like or dislike, don't know. A
clever saleswoman must, suppose, have diff
ferent methods with different customers. After
all, if customers were identical, perfect sales
manship would not be the difficult accom-
plishment it is. 1t is quite possible that
methods, which are unendurable to me. are
acceptable to others.

and best of all, an increasing number of GUS

ners that are to be expected of all customers
who make any pretense to being well-bred.
In fact, the behavior of the customer is in
one sense more important than that of the
salesman - or woman. The distress inconsid
crate customers can inflict, or the pleasure
considerate ones can give. is plainly of greater
concern to one who waits on them than any
annoyance or satisfaction that may be felt by
the customer.
Tothe customers nothing is at stake further
than the satisfaction or irritation - or most
often the completely negative impression -
that is made upon them by the man or woman
who waits on them during few moments of
time - the length of which the customers
themselves control. But saleswoman is, so to

what degree high pressure saesmanship pays

buying what they did not really want or into
spending more than they could afford, have
ever afterwards not only avoided getting

but have avoided that particular store. add
this because hundreds of readers have told me
of the useless thing they have been made to
buy with money that ought to have been
spent on something else. And all have added

to have her own questions answered intel
ligently but does not want any unasked for
advice.

Fruitful and Fruitless

The socialist party of Connecticut, rep resented mostly by Bridgeporters in public office, had a rather dubious year of it in Hartford. So far as the city itself is con- cerned, the party was eminently success full. Every demand that Mayor Jasper McLevy made upon the Legislature through the socialist senators and repre- sentatives was considered respectfully and iu the main honored. It was a fruitful legislative session from a socialist point nf view.
 But outside of proving as adept at the political game as the democrats and re- publicans what did the socialists gain? Not great deal if you can judge by the remarks being passed around the state. And in 1886 we don't imagine that there will be any quarter given by democrats, republicans, independents, or any other partymen. There has been certain ten dency noticeable the last two or three years among independents to regard the socialist swing favorably.
 As Judge-elect Kenneth Wynne of New Haven put it in recent speech, Bridge port was made famous by the great P. T. Barnum whose ability to fool the people made the world laugh. A Barnum policy was carried out in the election of Jasper McLevy and the sending of three Socialist senators and two representatives to the State Legislature. =" Judge Wynne also declared that if Bridgeport had sent David Goldstein back to the State Senate this year, 1t would have permitted Governor Cross to name democrats to all appointive commissionerships.
 There is no question but what the so- cialists proved themselves to be as adept ct carrying on the political fight as demo- crnts and republicans. Their very lack of numbers was in reality godsend in that it enabled the bloc in the Senate to become vitally important to control of that body. The much-vaunted principles of the social ist party went overheard time and again in the face of politics. In this way their fruitful days at the Capitol may by Mo- vember, 1886, have become fruitless.

More Credit for Fitch

Some weeks back we expressed the opinion, containing bit of hope, that during the tercentenary observances Con- necticut would pay some attention to John Fitch. A native of this state he left it in early manhood and while residing at Philadelphia built and operated what was the really first successful steamboat in the United States. We don't know what the modern school histories say about the age of invention in the United States but we recall quite well that to Robert Fulton went pages of praise for his Hudson river voyage, years after Fitch's experiments.
 Fitch at one time was proposed for the Hall of Fame at New York University. His name is still on the list of those eligi- ble to be balloted upon. What disposition was made this year has not yet been made public. We don't doubt, though, that poor John Fitch will be permitted to rest in the ignominy that has been his for century and half. Fortunately of late years news paper publicity has made him and his Schuylkill river boat better known.
 We read now that letter written Jan- uary 13, 1848, by Rembrandt Peale, noted artist of the day, relates how he saw Fitch's first steamboat operated on the Schuylkill river in 1785 and also Fulton's voyage 21 years later. This Peale letter is now preserved in the archives of the Pennsylvania Historical Society and went on public exhibition yesterday. The letter is a distinct contribution to the claims of the Fitch adherents to his preeminence in the field of navigation by steam.

papers of this nation as result of the MIRA and establishment of code in the newspaper trade, then publishers will cer- taiply retain them.
 However, there were obvious faults, bordering on the condition of the ridicu- lous. that will be cast out with fervent vote of thanks by every newspaperman m the country. We do not know whether the Fourth Estate will continue what the NRA purported to do. Perhaps some united ef- fort will be born of this mlsalllance. Knowledge always follows experience whether the latter be good or bad As for the absence of the tiny emblem-the Blue Eagle-we doubt if it would have been noticed unless attention were called to it.

Great Need for Housing

Americas boast of it's high standard of living is dealt terrific blow in the PWA report that lists 11,OO0,O0O of the nations homes as definitely in the slum class If third of the country's population is dwelling in houses and neighborhoods of character ito injure the health and endan- ger the safety and morals and interfere with normal lives," then our boast is a hollow mockery.
 Whether or not the time has come, as the report insists, "for private enterprise to abandon an impossible task and let the community take it over," conditions call for immediate action on a huge scale, whatever agency is chosen. With thou sands of building craftsmen idle, with material business at low tide, with thou sands of householders willing to borrow money if reasonable credit terms can be obtained, and with surveys showing a growing shortage of good rental property, it seems that concentration on this prob lem would do more than anything else to help relieve depression and alleviate mis- cry.

Gone But Not Forgotten

Perhaps good many Democrat readers will not notice the difference or fail to note in tonight's edition absence of something that occupied fairly conspicuous spot for many months. The Blue Eagles which adorned the upper right-hand corner of the first page and a position in the mast head on the editorial page are no more. The Supreme Court having invalidated the MIRA, the Blue Eagle retires to his aerie where perhaps he will fare better than he actually did in his brief reign in Ameri- can industry.
 Incidentally the newspaper code ended yesterday, a further reason if one was actually needed for hauling down the enl- bIem that was designed to mean so much, but which actually failed to live mp to ex- 3etafions.

Moe Berkman in the Hartford Times reveals that the democratic effort to re- move William A. Hendrick, republican, from the State Board of Finance and Control has failed. MT. Hendrick is editor of the Connecticut State Journal, which is the official organ of the g. o. p. in this state. In his campaigning last fall Cover nor Wilbur l.. Cross on several occasions called attention to the fact that party organ should not masquerade under the guise of state periodical. The Journal was at no pains to conceal its opposition to the governor at every opportunity. When the opportunity seemed ripe to re- move it's editor Bridgeport democrat was nominated in his place. However, the nomination never was approved and died in committee. And no recess appointment can be made, the statutes providing that failure to reappoint allows the incumbent to remain in. office.

and the stock market collapsed that Mir. Barucn told General Johnson: Lets just get out of everything and begin studying the world and domestic, physical, economic and industrial situations. to see if there is any way of get ting out of this mess," says Gen. eral Johnson.
 Then continues the general: Barney Baruch played more eff fective roll. Headquarters just didn't have any money. Sometimes they couldn't even pay the radio bill for the candidates speeches. They had practically nothing to carry on the campaign in the cri- tical state of Maine. Every time a crisis came, B. M. either gave the necessary money or went out and got it."
 So it was that $400, 100000 were taken from the disabled veterans and their dependents to balance the budget. MT. Baruch is known as one of the ten richest men in the United States, and while he knew the havoc the measure would cause amongst the veterans, and their families. kept only one fact in view that the $400, 1000, 1000 talk en from the veterans was needed to pay the interest for one year on ten billions of war bonds, so thou. sands of veterans were put on the charity rolls of their individual states already badly crippled with thousands of unemployed.
 The excuse for all this was the old excuse of political expediency, that the credit of the country was in danger, in other words the money taken from the country was to save the nation from bankrupt cy, and unless the reductions were made. the rich bankers would re- fuse to buy Government securities. All these eleventh revelations fol- low in the train of the revelations made ky the candid General John son, and is an eye opener to the man on the street, who is more or less the forgotten man of tradi- tion, who knows nothing of what is going on behind the political banners on which he pins his faith.
