SUPER-SALESMANSHIP.

A few days ago speaking about Balesmanship, Sir William Crawford told his hearers always to take the customer's point of view and talk about him. There seems a snag- about this somewhere. Imagine the Potential Customer approaching the Bright Young Salesman, with this result:

PCI want a new hat-- B.Y.SYes it is about time you throw that thing away.

P.C: I also want some snappy ties.

B.Y.S.-You look as if you went to a rope shop for your last lot. And if you ask me you want a new sult. That one fits where it touches: and even if you haven't got decont ahoes you might keep them clean. No don't thank me. Thank Sir Wi- Ham Crawford.

Thank heaven, there are only 189 more shopping days to Christmas.
