"Dear Sir: The traveling salesman
I one of the most Important factor
in American Viainee lif. They ere
the 'angel of commerce' and th ex
ponent of good cheer and optimism.
: "I have had occasion to speak to a
number ef buslnes men In Ashevtll
the last few days, asking for compari
son of t business now In contrast with
th tarn period of last year. Invari
ably, the whom 1 hav asked stated
'my bustne to Incrtaaing, but time
seem to be tight Thl i conflicting,
and if our merchant and business
men would leave off th awful but
money la tight, times ar hard, to.
condition would materially Improv
in the south, and stay good, especially
here In Western North Carolina, as
before the European war suited. . :
"Th war cannot last . Indefinitely,
and there la Just as much money, and
Just at much lumber, and Just as much
very other kind of material and u
stancd in th oountry as before, ex
cept lack of confidence in our ooun

city, and each other. Many of our
trouble ar imaginary instead of
real in fact most of our worst
troubles'never happen. .
"For the present it may be a ease of
'sit still in tbs boat for awhile.' but
In th meantime conditions, of which
general complaint to made can be Im
measurably improved If every man
will preach the goepel of optimism
and do his full duty a a cltlsen ef th

trying, I to a great extent Imaginary,
Everybody knows the commercial
traveler preache optimism and prae-'
tlces what he preaches, and this I Just
a suggestion that the effort of the
traveling man be redoubled along
thl line. Everybody help the other
fellow all along the line and then we
can readily dlacern a betterment of
