TAKING THE ATTITUDE OF "KKi I AND
LITTLE YOU" IS EXPENSIVE
Several days ago we were in one of the
leading stores of this county when a traveling
salesman who thought he. had the world by the
tail, displayed what h:. lwlieved was super sales,
man-ship, hut it was nothing more than rude
ness and a had business policy for him.
The buyer of the store was busy at the
time this super salesman got ready to display
his merchandise, but without waiting until the
merchant could complete his business with the
person whom he was serving. .Mi". Traveling
Alan steps in, introduces himelf. hands out .1
sample of Ids merchandise and starts telling
what wonderful stuff it U.
The merchant, being a man who gives
t-trvbody due consideration when his time
comes, politely, but sternly, told the salesman
that he was busy. and. would be with him in a
minute.
We looked on the entire atl'air with 'much
interest. Of course, it was just a small thing
in one sense of the word, but just the .-ame it
elearly shows that the salesman ''thought he
-hould have first preference with the merchant,
although someone else had lirt turn at the sam -prospect.
The expression on the face of the
merchant .prut rayed a feeling that even though'
the sale.-man had just the merchandise he might
need for his stock, he did not feel inclined to
deal with a "big I and Little everybody else
person."
U'e do not know, but there i- doubt
in our mind that the man sold a dime's worth
to the merchant, and even if he did we are sure
of one thing, that he had to use every sales talk
and every method he knew of to complete the
sale, all because of his haste and inability to
recognize the right of the other fellow.
When men and women get to the place
where they feel that they should be given first
preference above all others, they should be
crowned not. 'with a gold crown, but with a
baseball bat.
THE FIRST SNOW
That subject sounds like those we had
write a two hundred and fifty word essay on
when in the fifth and sixth grades in school,
doesn't it? Even if the title sounds the same,
there are many thoughts that, we have now that
we didn't have then not because we thought
Jhem out ourselves, but have been told of then!.

Xtiankful for the snow that fell -'last. week.
Whet her t hey know it r not, a blanket of snow
is the same as a blanket of fertilizer. That i
noi our statement, but 11. X. Ilarber s who own
eleven thousand apple trees in this county.;
"There is a Jot of air in snow, and the most
"f it is nitrogen which is one. of our best f.-r:!.
lizers." he said.
"In New, England when it snows, the old
time farmers will say. 'Well, there is mv tVri
llzer, ". '".';,;.'
Other than being native's lx'-t fertilizer,
snow 'h T5 to retard the sap in trees, together
with making the ground moist.
With all these things aken into considera
tion, "rt seems that the farmer has been blessed
by nature to begin the new year off right.
It i.
THE STATE'S BLACK EYE
; a piett.y good prospect that this is to

de
be the last year of high-cost automobile tags in
North Carolina, for the existing situation is giv
ing the state a "black' eye" which is being dis.
cusst d abroad, and which is operating as a worn,
ing to keep out. The Hendersonville Times.
News relates an incident that goes to show how
the high tag is being viewed by outsiders. A
winter visitor to that city, with an eye to Id
eating there, is "delighted with Hendersonville"
he likes the people, the town, the country,
the climate and all other natural advantages o,''
the section and while his decision as to selec
tion of a home will not be controlled by the sizj
of the North Carolina automobile tag tax, he
points out to The Times-News that decisions in
such cases frequently turn on comparatively
trivial matters. The stranger believes that one
coming from California and having to pay eight
times as much for automobile license here as
was paid in that state, gets a bad impression of
North Carolina in addition to the conviction
that the automobile license taxes here are inde
fensibly high.
That's just a sample of the talk that is go
ing to be heard all along the line, and it is one
reason why, next year, we are going to have a.
revision downward of the tax on automobile
license plates. Charlotte Observer.

Which Is Your Favorite Store?
Among the places you patronize there is a certain
establishment for which you have a particular preference.
.Maybe you .have never stopped to analyze the reason, but
we'll hazard the guess that it is the personnel of that
store the warm, friendly, atmosphere that make you
feel at home as soon as you enter the door. Anyway,
we know that this is one of the most valuable assets a
business can have, because so many people have told us
it is one of the strongest ties that binds them to ALEX
ANDER'S. Eagerness to serve you is as outstanding: a feature
of this drug store as ability to serve you.
