Our deepest sympathy to Groover Lanford in the loss of his sister, Mrs. Gholdie Waddell of Woodruff. Nobody seems to be getting any older. At least they only birthday we know of this month is Cecil Wooten's on July 22, and he didn't tell us. (Being his wife, I've remembered that one for years.) The weather is just too hot for writing news, unless I had a Frigidaire to sit in. Maybe we'll know where everyone went after vacation, but we couldn't find out before they went.

Making the Sale Just at this time, it is quite possible that one of the Clinton Cottons, Inc. salesmen will either visit this customer, as a regular part of his duties, or will telephone to him to see if he needs any cloth. The customer tells the salesman he is interested in 300.000 yards of cloth and wants the best price he can get. The salesman then checks with us to SPP if WP hiivo tl"?o rtrw-?rlo for the delivery and also to be sure he has the right market price. At the same time, the customer communicates with our competitors to get offerings from them. If our price is in line with the market, and our salesmen are on the job, and our quality is equivalent to the best in the market, we will probably get that order. . hat is one way that orders are obtained. Another way is for a manufacturer?say of rubberized raincoats?who has been using our goods right along through the years and who likes the rilifllitv r?f mil- 'jt-iyl il->? service that is given him, will find that his business is getting better and that he requires some cloth to be coated and rubberized and made into raincoats. He may be located in?let us say Wisconsin? and he will regularly be in touch with our Chicago sales representative, so after finding out what the customer wants, the Chicago sales representative either telephones or teletypes us in New York. 1 We immediately give them the price and delivery which they, in turn, give to the customer. When they receive the I A I * - * uruei, mey immediately trans- 1 mit it to us. i These are just a few instances how we ^et orders, but it is not nearly as easy as I have made it sound.

They talk about the good quality cloth we are producing. the good service that we are regularly giving, the fact that we are on the job at all times, that we know our business and are ready and willing to be helpful to the customers whenever we can. Many times customers ask our advice in connection with the use of one cloth against another, or in connection with general market conditions, and in all cases we give the customers information which we hope is useful to them. Takes Training You will recall that in a preceding article we gave you a list of the many and varied uses for our goods. This means 1 x - ' iiiui uui salesmen musi ne constantly in touch with these different types of uses and industries. It is " uite common for one of our men to talk to one customer about asbestos pipe covering and a little later to another customer about waistbands and pockets for men's suits, and then about quilts and bedding, and so on. This requires a great degree of skill in the handling of the customers because each trade has to be handled a little differently, and the sales man must have a knowledge of what each customer does with the cloth, and in that way the customer receives better service. You cannot talk to a customer who uses style 11. about how good a cloth it is to make a covering for cheese, if he happens to be a user of that cloth for making crinoline peiticoats; and this applies to most of our other fabrics which are used for many purposes. Our salesmen must not only know who the customers are. but also what thcv finally do with the cloth. In that way we give better service, because we talk the same language the customers talks. Another feature of the selling end of the business is advertising, and we do considerable advertising by way of the | (Cont'd, on Page 4)
