^A good salesman is a valu- 

 able friend to a business man. 

 He is a walking bureau of in- 

 formation and generally a very 

 intelligent man. Often his time 

 is worth more than that of the 

 man he is selling — he comes 

 perhaps only once a year — 

 and always tries to wear a 

 smile. Now the best hotel 

 is a poor home, and the 

 boys on the road usually de- 

 serve courteous treatment: yet 

 the writer has met men who 

 look upon them as a menace 

 to their business, whereas they 

 are a benefit. The successful 

 salesman has no time to talk 

 about others, he is a booster: he 

 is not merely an order-taker, 

 but a biisiness-getter; he is 

 aggressive; has strength of pur- 

 pose; combines the interests of 

 the house with those of his cli- 

 ents; and in general is a very 

 capable man, and an indefatig- 

 able worker. He knows no 

 hours for sleep until his busi- 

 ness is done and he eats when 

 he can; stands ail kinds of cli- 

 mate and all kinds of people; 

 and is a vital part of this bus- 

 iness world of ours and a man 

 worth your time to see. 

 flWe know there are some 

 salesmen or order-takers in 

 this business who are rum-guz- 

 zlers; and some are business 

 beggars, the latter being prin- 

 cipally foreigners; but there are 

 good ones and there will be 

 more as time flies. Horseshoe 

 Brand salesmen are gentlemen, 

 who have faith in their goods 

 and the house, who have prac- 

 tical experience in the import- 

 ing business, and who are ab- 

 solutely independent men, that 

 have "made good." They are 

 selling the best there is and 

 they know it, and those they 

 do not reach, the mail does and 

 we solicit business from all 

 who want Horseshoe Brand 

 Products.
