Travelling SaIeSmen Becoming Fewer in U. s.;
 Selling Offers Many Opportunities

An article regarding the dlsap- bearing of the old time drummer which recently appeared in the New York Times has prompted the fol- lowing editorial taken from a recent Issue of Sales Management.
 Are aalcsmen fading outP 4 much discussed and fnuch-quoted article, called twilight of the Gods of the Sample Case" appeared in tho New York Times Magazine on April 10, The author draws the conclusion that whatever the late Depression has done or failed to do to tho farm CT, at least it has contributed soFne- thing to the social security of the farmers daughter. No jokes, says the author, are now being coined ct the expense of the travelling sAles- man and his situation today ia more Of e subject for tears.
 It is true that "thc travelling sales man" has passed out-ineAning the Old-tlmc drummer, the man with the fancy vest and the cigar cooked at an angle.
 But certainly this does not mean there is no future in selling or that the sales representative iB passing out of the picture. Wholesalers, after Q period Of declining business, are definitely coming back--with sales men. galcgfnen are not conspicuous on tho railroad trains these days, but that is more attributable to changing methods of transportation and to a change in the type of salesman who makes a success than it is to a decrease in actual numbers on the road.

Program Responsible for Great Reduction in Dam-
 ages; I0,4O5 Men Given Employment

nounced the CCC work accom- plishmerts in Connecticut, Direc- tor Fechner stated that figures for- warded to Washington disclosed that during the three years the corps had been in operation this relief and reforestatlon organization hah supplied direct employment for varying periods of time to an agT- gFegatc of l0,40B Connecticut men. Of these, l7,004 were young men and war veterans. The others were Army reserve officers in charge of the camps, foresters and other tcch- nical personnel engaged to plan and supervise work programs, skilled and unskMled mechanics and educational advisers. Az of March 1, 1036, there were 4023 Connecticut men en- rolled in the corps.
 The director also made public fig- ures based on reports from the chief Of finance of the U. s. Army diSclos- ing that eco obligations for tho state of Connecticut through March 20, IO36, had been approximately 9I8,b08,O00. Of this fund q total Of 40,I0B,000 was obligated during the first two years of the program. The balance of 44,400,000 allocated from the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of l036 was obligated between April i, 1895, and March 20, !D330. The War Department estimates that os of March l, 7030, Connecticut enrollees had allotted home to de- pendentS approximately 0.00O ftheir earnings. The basic cash allowance of each enrolled man in the corps is $50 a month. All of the young men and many of the war veterans allot from $22 tO S25 of their monthly cash allowances to needy dependents, and these allot- TnentA arc mailed direct to the fain- flies of the boys by the War Depayt- mcnt Tn addition to receiving cash allowances which perimt them to contribute substantially to the sup- port of their families, eco enrollees arc housed, fed, clothor, given modi" cal care and afforded adequate rccreational and educational oppor' tunities.

 Lines where the number of sales- men definitely have diminished arc staples used by chains and d0paft- tnent stores and fashion items which can be bought more advAntagecusly through resident buyers or by the merchant making trips to style cen- ters.
 But the number of saIesmsn seIl- ing speciality items or doing indirect selling in service or ilveBtigatiYlg capacities ig definitely increasng, al. though not yet back at pre-DepreB- sion levels. Inquiries made among SM subscribers indicate that tho number of salesinen now on the road ls at least 20 per cent higher than two years ago and the majority will augment their forces during the last half of lD3G.
 If you have . son who Is thinking lOf selling as a career or an ambitious stock clerk who hankerS for the road, assure him that the art of selling Is still young, that selling supplies quicker rewards for ef- flclcncy than almost any other pros fcsRlOn, and that tho business world --and the nation in general. -needS good BAlcsfnGn today more than at any time in . generation. For this Is still . buyers rfArket--and the buyer doesn't exist who cannot get useful help from the right type Of salesman.
 Selling Isn't passing out; only certain type of salesman.

FOREIGN TRADE
 IS ENCOURAGED
State Civic Clubs Plan Meetings to Show It's
 Value to Communities

Benefits received from the opera ton of the adininistrationg rec ciprocal tariff program ip the form Oi greatly increased "vigible" and invisible" export markets for thelt products have consolidated sonti- inent for Connecticut business lead- CTS in support of plans for the extension of the program, George P. Bauer, manager of the export department of the Automobile Man- ufacturerB' association dlscloses in his report of trip to the leading cities of the state.
 InduStrialists and business lead- CTS of the state recognize that q factor in their current prosperity has been the increased shipment of Connecticut products to countries outside of the United States made possible by the reciprocal tariff pro. gram, Mr. Bauer reported. This ap- plies, he said, not only to products like typewritcrS, refrigoratorS, radios and canned goods which have been exported directly, but also to the states invisible" exports which consist of products manufactured within the state which are Rssem' blcd into finished products like au- tomobilcs in other states and sub- Bequcntly disposed of in foreign markets.
 Under the impetus of ths grow ing interest in world trade, Connec- ticut trade associations and civic organization are developing plans for meetings tO acquaint residents of their respective communities with the importance of encouraging for- eign trade.
 After spending n week comforting with industrialistB in Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Waterbury and other leading cities of the state, MT. Bauer has extended his trip into Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

RELATIVES FIGHT
 OVER FAMILY CAR
Hansen Gets Continuance for Alleged Assault on
 BrOther.in.Law

A fist fight over the family car resulted in the arraignment of one of the participants before Judge John F. Mc0rath in city court on breach of peace charges today. The accused, Adolph Hansen, 2s, of 2s Hickory street, was given a continu- ance of 30 days after he had told the court an alleged assault on his brother Jaw, Matthew Caputo, Of l28 Cooke street, was committed in defense of his wife.
 Caputo said Hansen had ap- proached him on Cooke street yes- terday as he was sitting in the car with Q girl friend and demanded that he return the machine to its garage. Caputo's refusal to do so resulted in the fight during which he sustained a black eye and sev- eral scratches about the face.
 Hansen testified that the car was owned by Caputo's father and had been missing from the garage since Sunday night. Finding the garage lock broken and the car gone, MT Caputo had reported 1t stolen to police, Hansen said.
 With his wife and her sister HaIl- sen came upon Caputo sitting in tEe car on Cooke street and the argu. ment began, he said. He denied having struck Caputo, and said that he interfered only after the youth had attempted to kick both his wife and her sister. The car, he said, is registered in his wife's name.
