DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Roy H. Faulkner, President of the Auburn Automobile
Company says: __
“I wonder how often any of us ever ‘Stop to Think how
important to the scheme of things in this great country ot
ours is the Salesman? Every business in the country, lar
ge or small, rests upon the shoulders of the Salesmanship
supporting it. This statement is not intended in any way to
deprecate the importance of the quality of the product, as
of course that is essential. But regardless of the value of
the product, its acceptance by the public is definitely depen
dent upon the manner in which it is presented to them, eith
er through printed salesmanship, called Advertising, or by
direct contact of some Salesman with the actual purchaser.
“The gigantic automobile industry of today is a definite
tribute to Master Salesmanship. While the desire to ride
is instinctive in every person, the automobile business would
not be what it is today had it not been for the tremendous
glamour which has been built up around the pleasures of
ownership of a motor car through automobile shows, mil
lions of dollars worth of advertising, and automobiles en
thusiastically presented directly to the retail Salesman.
"This quality of Salesmanship is going to be one of the
greatest factors in bringing back the prosperity to America
which is its rightful heritage. In several months of investi
gation and thousands of miles of traveling, I have found
that Salesmen are again beginning to lift up their heads and
talk the quality of the product, instead of fearfully trying to
sell every customer the cheapest merchandise they have in
the store. During the past few years a great many salesmen
had been beaten down by the ‘price’ arguments of their cus
tomers until real Salesmanship was fast becoming a lost art.
But some of the more courageous Salesmen during the past
year have again stressed ‘Quality’ with their customers and
the reception they have received has truly been amazing.
They found that people really were interested in the quality
of the merchandise they purchased as well as in the price.
And today the demand for better things is being shown in
every industry. Proof of this is visible in the sales records
of practically every variety of business. With the salesmen
once more playing the part of real merchandisers instead of
‘order-takers’ the business of the country will again move
forward as it has in years past, and the American public en
ter upon a period of more gracious living.”

LEARNING FROM THE WHALE
There are many people who laugh at what they call the
fool pursuits of scientists. They fail to appreciate the scien
tific mind, or the probability that discoveries in one investi
gation may disclose principles of great importance to man
kind.
For example, a scientist is now making a study of the
whale. Why? Because the great sea mammal possess a se
cret that might be of value to men. Sometimes, for an hour,
the whale goes under the water, and stays there. WThat be
comes of the carbon dioxide which he generates? If the
whale has some method of disposing of this poison is it not
possible that, once discovered, scientists may be able to re
produce for men the same condition?
Well, say the doubters, what of it? Well say we, this
might save the lives of a number of submarine sailors. It
might spare hundred of miners and save their lives when
buried within the mines. It might do more than this. What
it might do we cannot tell, but the scientist will find it for
us if we give him a chance.—Exchange
Nenana lee Pool
The time is approaching when in
terest centers to a great extent into
the question as to who is going to be
the winner of the Nenana Ice PooT.
Each year between $60,000 and $70,
000 is split among the lucky gues
sers of the time when the ice moves

During the past eighteen years of
this guessing contest the ice has
moved only three times in April,
twice on the 30th and once on the
26th of the month .
March is half gone and it is under
stood that the opportunity to place
guesses as to the time when the ice
will move, will close in Nome about
April 4th or 5th..
Following is a list compiled, tell
ing the dates and hours and minut
es, when the pool was won by lucky
guessers:

Two Brilliant
Personalities
In One Film
HELEN HAYES-CLARK GABLE
CO-STARRED AT LAST IN
“THE WHITE SISTER"
Two of the greatest personalities
on the American screen are co-starr
ed for the first time in Metro-Gold
wyn-Mayer’s talking picture adapta
tion of F Marion Crawford's classic
love story, “The White Sister,”
which runs tonight at the Dream
Theatre. They are Helen Hayes,
(winner of the recent Motion Pic
ture Academy reward, and Clark
Gable, universally conceded to be
the talkies’ outstanding matinee
idol.
Miss Hayes, last seen as the nurse
in “A Farewell to Arms,” this time
plays the role of an aristocratic Ital
ian girl who on the eve of her wed
ding to a man of her father's^choice
falls in love with a young officer in
the Italian air force. A clandestine
romance results and the father, in a
desperate attempt to call a halt to
the proceedings, is involved in an
automobile smashup and dies. When
the young officer subsequently is call
ed to the front and is reported kill
ed the girl determines to abandon
the world and to shut herself up in
a convent as a White Sister. ,
The intensely dramatic climax of
the story occurs when the officer re
turns from the war and confronts
the nun who had believed him to
be no longer alive. The situation is
said to be the most stirring ever en
acted by the talented Miss Hayes.
The remainder of the drama re
volves about the conflict of the girl
between her religious vows and the
man whom she loves, with the story
brought to an end by a sensational
denouement.
