CSB PENNY COLUMN—IT PAY*
DRIEST TALK* TO LOCAL
MERCHANTS ABOUT VALUE
OF MODERN ADVERTISING
(Continued from Page One)
lection of vocabulary, borders, white
apace and specific helps that add
much to the .pulling power of the ad
vertisement were given.
The speaker talked in sentences
rather than in words and taking it
all in all it was a most forceful and
helpful address for those that are
building a business.
Salesmanship, the intereating and
fascinating art of selling, was dis
cussed Tuesday night in the most in
teresting manner by Mr. Griest un
der .the subject of “You and Your
Balary.” After giving many illus
trations of what some people of na
tional reputation had accomplished,
and what they had done to attain the
position they now hold the speaker
deducted a formula for those who are
employed, when put into use, they
could reasonably expect to increase i
their income. The formula given I
was: “Do more than you are expect-1
ed to do, and thereby force recogni->
tion of your real worth to the es-|
tabllrfiment which employes you.’’
Briefly reviewing the steps taken
the evening before under the subject
of “The Winninf Salesman.’’ Mr.
Griest began to connect the thoughts
given before with those that he had
carefully prepared for this address.
The four factors with which most
salesmen have to reckon are the cus
tomer, the merchandise, the plan of
sale and the salesperson. The two
factors emphasized in the discussion
were the merchandise and the sales
person. The speaker stated specific
ally that what Was essential was to
know about the merchandise and
Where to attain this information.
Burning it all up, he said, that we
could reasonably expect the sales-per
son to know much more about the
merchandise than the customers. His
reasons for this were logical and con
clusive. Many humorous and help
ful illustrations were given, the
speaker using the articles themselves
to demonstrate his points. It was
proven that too frequently salespeople
fall to establish confidence with their
customers because they do not know |
the merchandise when put to actual
test. Diplomacy, courtesy, tact, tone
of voice, correct English and lhetoric
all came in for discussion and the
part they play in convincing the peo
ple and firm with which salesmen are
employed for their worth or value of
services. ,
After the regftlar lecture ninny
merchants remained for thirty min
utes or more for a round table dis
cussion on * the point raised, iu lec
ture.

to the page headed “March 17th.”
Over SIOO,OOO had been put on this

| some large but mostly small. Today’s
collections are certain to be big but
| Commissnioner R. A. Doughton and
his assistants were chary as to any
estimates of what the day will bring
forth. Only $33,000 income taxes
were collected in January and re
ceipts in 'February were only $77,-
000 while March collections prior to
Monday’s high tide t0ta11ed5637,716.-
57.
. A total of 21.000 returns have been
tabulated and if the clerks can catch
, up today there is a possibility of a
1 third million dollar day. However,
most of the big checks are already in
or those who will have them to pay
have obtained extensions,
i The State still has a considerable
distance to go on the budget commsi
sion’s estimate of $5,500,000 in in
• come taxes and exact estimates will
; be hard to make until after the ex
, piration of the bulk of the extensions
; which will not be until April 15th.
The check of the R. J. Reynolds To
’ bacco Company, the State’s biggest
, taxpayer, was included in yester
day’s batch, but it was stated that
| one of "the other very arge taxpayers
’ has obtained an extension.
Governor A. YY”. McLean yesterday
expressed confldeuce that the State’s
budget will balance on June 30th, the
close of the fiscal year, but like Com
; missiooer Doughton refused to indulge
in any detailed speculation.
United States Collector Gilliam
Grissom yesterday took in $1,960,-
