good service from a pre-war ma chine.
 What we call the duration spe- cial," says Porter, lis deal by which we dismantle that old clean CT, replace worn parts and turn it out looking like new-and with the same guarantee as new equip ment. The cost is considerably un- der the new cleaners $69.75 and the user does not have to wait for some weeks more, like the new buyer"
 Most of our former salesmen who come back into the organiza- tion these days prove to be better at selling than they ever were." comments Faulkner. While they were away, they had an opportunity to look back on their work and see how they might have improved it. Many of these salesmen are making twice as much in selling than in their previous period of similar work with us.
 That isn't all a matter of ], scarcity of merchandise. The men are really better at their jobs." Faulkner agrees with other sales executives in believing that many veterans will make good living in sales work. For one thing, they did not experience the let-doWn in sales initiative, during the period when the customer was hunting out merchandise and many sales- men merely wrote down the or ders.
 Another factor for veterans success is physical fitness. The days work does not seem to take so much out of the returned serv- iceman, once he has become used to civilian ways following war i service.
 | Companies that could train a man first in manufacturing and then in selling. as occurred with the crew of veterans used in the temporary New York assembly plant, report uncommonly good re- suits.
 Men with factory background know what is inside the skin of the product. They give practical service ideas and make minor ad- justments easily. Even when the selling is done from pictures and with preferences" as the mer- chandise, these men who've had grease on their pinkies seem to do a better job at the homemaker's | front door.

 The alleged theft occurred about two weeks ago. At that time, Hol- loway turned the key to the boat ever to Neal under the supposition that the latter was going to bail out the craft. Neal was later faced at Petersburg with a wired warrant from Juneau. Neal claims he was loaned the boat by Hollo- way.
 Neal was in custody in the City Jail here, on a drunk charge, and was to be taken before U s. Com missioner Felix Gray on the boat charge. Meanwhile, the returned troller has been reported sinking in the Boat Harbor

idea of taking on a sales route.
 Blond, keen-eyed Bill Miller came in that way. His friend, John Doepker, recruited him and showed him the ropes. When Bill went out on his own, one of the first weeks of business netted him $131 in cash take-home. He helped find other salesmen and get them started.
 Faulkner was in the local office, setting up sales meeting. when Bob Perrollaz came in, selling 50- cent coupons that would apply on photo taken at a nearby studio. The manager went into selling talk of his own, Bob came around to guest meeting and now he sells vacuum cleaners.
 A number of the men have spe- cialized in pre-C Christmas selling that made the preference contract sort of gift certificate for the missus. You could not tuck new cleaner into her mot nylons" at Yuletide, but the contract for a new vacuum cleaner on the way was not too hard to take.
 From Live Roots
 This expanded sales crew grows from roots that were never al- lowed to die. Many salesmen have a continuous record of employ ment running from long before the war. From it's factory bins and by means of small-job sub-contracts that did not interfere with war production, the spare parts for two million cleaners out in service in homes and offices were kept circu- lating.
 Every service call was given prompt attention" reports Danner Hunt, a company official. Usually the customers cleaner was called for and put in shape within three or four days after we learned of the need TOT SerVlce.
 Statesmen who weren't called for military service or work in war plants were able to maintain contacts with customers and main- tained their own earnings, even when they had no cleaners to sell" Even with the new supply com ing to market and catching up with the backlog of preferences, the firms men still go for repair and renovation business. When a salesman starts down a street that was assigned to him, he may run across several former customers of the house who are still getting

 BALTIMORE-"I'll buy" says the little woman, without much urging. And reaches for usually well-padded purse.
 Jim Porter, slim, dark-haired and neighborly, is out on door to-door canvass. He does not carry a sample of the vacuum cleaner he is selling, but he packs a users manual or other illustrated folder and an order blank.
 Tt might be several months be- fore we can deliver" he tells the prospect. Our company stopped making cleaners in the spring of AZ, and though we are at it again, there is a pretty big line up ahead"
 Jim sells preferential contract. The $25 down payment applies on a machine for delivery within 12 months at the latest, at the price that is in effect at time of deliv- cry. Every receipt is numbered and the customer has a definite place in the line of march, as vacuum cleaners come back to market.
 Registering for the new years machines and appliances goes smoothly for a number of makes that had an fin" with the con- sumner. Because large volume sales occurred before the war, and a good service record plus consistent advertising kept the name alive during the war, Jim Porter's job of merchandising reservations" is not too tough.
 T started selling cleaners in August" says Jim. T closed Al preference contracts in the first three weeks. September sales ran up to 79 machines. Since then, I've been good for an average of 25 sales week.
