THE "SOFT ANSWER” ON THE TELEPHONE.

Slogan for Business

Houses.

The importance to a firm of ite telephone operator's voice WAS emphasised by Sir Francis Good- enough in a paper read at a meet- ing of the Incorporated Account unta' Students' Society of London.

"An ill-mannered, impatient, hard-voleed telephone operator is an abomination who should not be tolerated in any office,” he said. "The voice that to the customer represents the whole firm and re- fects its whole polley ought to be agreeable to the car and convey Immediately the desire to serve and sympathy with the customer's troubles and make the customer realise that he or she is regarded as one of first importance, whose good opinion and custom the arm values. highly. A soft answer turneth away wrath' should he printed on a card and hung on every telephone in 4 business house."

Sir Francis declared that cua tomers' complainta were rather too rare than too frequent.

FAMOUS GERMAN FIRM FAILS.

Borsig Works Close Down.

LACK OF ORDERS..

Berlin, Yesterday. The famous engineering firm of Borsig, employing 4,000 work- mon, has suspended payments, but hopes to keep the workers employed until February, on several million marks of orders in hand.

Eighty per cent. of Borsig's productions went abroad, chiefly to India, Egypt and the Far East

The failure (which only affects the Borsig Works in Berlin, and not the main concern, which has factories and mines in Upper Silesia) is attributed to lack of orders and losses abroad, owing to depreciation of currency.

The firm was established eighty years ago.

The well-known Thyssen fron foundry at Hamborn, West- phalia, is also closing down be. tween December 20 and January' 4 owing to lack of orders. | Router."
