And that the major fear of business right now is the fear of over-production. She does not realize that the salesman is the kingpin in our free econo my, and that, by creating and satis fying enough new wants, only he and those who sell advertising can keep our economy in high gear. The salesman is a mighty important person. Job Coiling Unlimited Sales work has a special appeal to ambitious young men because earnings are in direct proportion to hard work and ability. The sales man gets a terrific bang out of his job because he knows his efforts cause people to raise their standard of living. He knows, too, that if only a thousand people buy an ar ticle without salesmanship, it may cost $10.00, but with good selling and resultant mass production, the consumer may get the same article for as low as $2.00. A good, creative salesman has the spirit of the missionary—a lot of courage honesty, unbounded ener gy, persistence, firmness and un usual adaptability. The good sales man must be able to withstand ex treme frustration, be able to organ ize his own work and work under pressure. Hie good salesman is not a clock watcher.

There has been no shedding of tears over Stalin. But neither has there been jubilation. The future is too un certain. There is not likely to be any early indication of future policy for this regime which consists of Malenkov as Prime Minister, Marshal Kle- menti Voroshilov as Soviet Presid ium, find L. P. Beria, V. M. Molotov, Nikolai Bulganin and Lazar M. Dag- onovich as deputy chairmen of the Council of Ministers. It does appear, however, that Mal enkov will spend considerable time cousolidating his posftion and ab solute authority. After that it is any one’s guess. Too much has already been writ ten about the man Stalin and the trail of death and misery he left be hind him. It is the future that con cerns the free world, and particular ly, the future of Russia. At present this seems to be the situation in Moscow: 1. The men in the Kremlin were concerned, and still are, about the reaction of the Russian people over Stalin’s death and the appointment of Malenkov. That becomes evident as they have continuously broadcast an appeal to the people to stand by PIMPLES’? p MPl S 3 A' AT All GOOD McGee’S drug store Damask Rose* Lasting Spring* Wedding Cjift... fresh, young-spirited Heirloom Sterling Ymi giv* generations ef pleat* are, pride and wto when you give Heirloom Sterling!
