A good salesman is a valu- 

 able friend to a business man. 

 He is a walking bureau of 

 information, 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 

 business-getter ; he is aggres- 

 sive ; has strength of purpose ; 

 combines the interests of the 

 house with those of his cli- 

 ents ; and, in general, is a very 

 capable man and an indefati- 

 gable worker. He knows no 

 hours for sleep until his busi- 

 ness is done, and he eats when 

 he can, stands all kinds of 

 climate and all kinds of peo- 

 ple, and is a vital part of this 

 business world of ours and a 

 man worth your time to see. 



We know there are some 

 salesmen, or order-takers, in 

 this business who are rum- 

 guzzlers ; and some are busi- 

 ness-beggars, the latter being 

 principally 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 practical experience in 

 the importing business, and who 

 are absolutely 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 Horse- 

 shoe Brand Products.
