THE PROBLEM OF GETTING COM
MISSION SALESMEN TO STICK
A Happy Solution to a Perplexing
Problem
A T THE tenth scsbion of the new
i"i. salesmanship clahs, the manager of j
the Uliuer Automouiie v-onipunj was
present.
He explnincd methods of production
nnd answered n number of technical
questions. Then we had two sales dem
onstrations by some of the new fellows.
They were mighty interesting, espe
cially one in which one of the women
acted ns saleswoman. She was clev el
and tactful, nnd by skillful ipiestious
eventually put the buyer in a position
where lie had to buy or go back on
"what he had said.
They all appreciated it and ap
plauded her good work.
Then Odd, as district manager, told
the nine people that he would be ready
for them to start work in one week's
time; if necessary they could take two
weeks in which to make arrangements
to leave their present employers.
Songs wero sung und jokes were
cracked. Duke spoke for about five
minutes. Odd told them that lie hoped
the new and old salesmen und the sales
women would consider themselves one
big family. One of the old men "Jim,"
as a matter of fact then said that "on
behalf of the older snlesmeu lie wel
comed the new members to the great
est little concern in the world, the
' Glider Automobile Company."
There was emphatic applause at
that, of course.
When quiet was restored he went 011
again :
"You nre, of course, only pledged to
come here twice mora for instruction,
but I would be glad to have you come
every evening u posslDlc. Muring mat
time Mr. Dollber and I would like to
explain fully how we handle orders and I
how wo want reports made out and such
like."
Cheero were given Doliber nnd me
for the training we had given and al
together a jolly evening was spent.
After tho crowd dispersed Duke nnd
I went 'to his room and had hot milk
and crackers.
"Well, Peter, I think our work is
done."
I was silent for a minute. I had en
joyed the work and entered Into It with
bo much enthusiasm that our quarters
in New York seemed like a dream. Then
I asked slowly:
"Is the general manager, Mr. Brain
ard, satisfied that Dollber can carry on
the work of hiring and training men
and women to our I mean your
plan?"
"Our Is right, Peter," laughed Duke.
"Yes, he feels he'll do it"
"What does Feather say?" I next
atked.

UCH thought has been devoted to the
wraps dedicated to sports and some
charming things have been evolved.

For golf, tweed capes and coats or
shorter coats of knitted jersey or heather
mixtures seem most appropriate. $12.50

scarfs which are caught with a belt.
Longer capes these are excellent for the
