E. E. FERRIS 



Pete Crowther 

 says: 



"It's a big thing in 

 salesmanship to have 

 your job look good to 

 you. People like to 

 deal with a man who's 

 stuck on his job." 



"These fellows that are always 

 kicking on their luck are usually 

 loafing on their job." 



From 



Pete Crowther: 

 Salesman 



By 



ELMER E. FERRIS 



The basis of Mr. Ferris's story is the 

 theory that one part each of business 

 common sense and fun, mingled with equal 

 parts of philosophy and sound ethics, will 

 make a successful commercial traveller. Pete 

 Crowther is such a man. He is a live typical 

 American, and in this book we are shown him 

 in action. 



There is picturesqueness in Pete's exper- 

 iences and much information and inspiration 

 as well as the inevitable fun. The story is not 

 merely interesting and entertaining, but it has 

 the ring of experience which recommends it 

 for serious consideration to all readers.

T. R. says : "He (the author) teaches a real 

 moral lesson here and, what is more rare, he 

 does it in an amusing way. I can fairly see 

 that interview between the drummer and the 

 Chinaman as I write."

Addison Broadhurst— Master Merchant 



By EDWARD MOTT WOOLLEY 



Author of "Adventures in Business" 

 Net $1.25 



Addison Broadhurst tells his own story; of his starting to work in a small country 

 grocery store; of the long weeks he spent finding a job in the great city ; his rise in one 

 position only to fail in the next; of his plans when he launched his own enterprise and 

 of its instantaneous growth until it became the largest department store in the city 

 and he a Master Merchant. 



The record of his success and how it was attained he now hands down. " I want," he says, " no greater 

 monument than to leave this record for the guidance of men who are blundering through business careers."
