Mr. Itretiuau suggested h school for the clerks, no matter how Minall tin* trior**. IVwvh them how to become better sales-i?eoplc. Tho suggestive selling plan is making salesmanship a profession and is doing away with ??'f order taker.- and the employee wuo becomes successful today is the one who is ever ready to lake a keen In terest in the store's welfare and de velopment and who Is not afraid to do a Utile more than hy Is hired to do.. * Clerk* were advised t tut t health, habits, the light kind of eating, hryal ty to employers, and appreciation that the customer is tthe bmss were the basic facts on which their ability ami ad vancement were founded. Clerk* should study not only the stock In the store, hut the store advertisements, Mr. Hrennnn said, in or<h,*r that they may intelligently wait on customers and know exactly what the store of fers. Mr. Hrennnn offered many good sug gestions on how a clerk can Increase, sales in a store hy being loyal to his employer, studying those things that will Increase this knowledge of tho business, ami through such efficiency he in a position toe oininaiul better snlnrv. "Had habits outside of work hours," i?e said, "make a had record in the store next day. A man enn"t stay out half the night and expect to Sell goods the following- day." Mr. Hrennnn showed how the plant ing of flowers and shrubs .transformed the neighborhood about the factory of the National Cash lleglster Company at Dayton, Ohio, Into one -of the pret tiest residential districts of the city. Not only, were the pictures shown of the Dayton district and its Improve meut, hut the methods of landscape gardening were explained. "I'lant in cluster*; avoid straight lines and leave open spaces." are the three principals Which were given TTicx are the laws which Nature uses, acording to Mr. Hrennnn. The development of ohildrelis' gardens in l>n.vton was explained in the lecture. The gardens grew out <H the problem of the hoy who is idle and constantly in mischief. . The National Cash Kegistcr Company- donated lattd lo the hoys for u^e during the garden season. ' Jarden tools were also fur nisheil them. Hietures of the boys working in their gardens and gather ing their crops were shown.

Most especially did Mr. Hrcunau commend our Chamber . f Commerce for the lauinhing of the great "Huy At Home Hay Cp Week" which starts- July f?th and continue-" until July 12th. He urged every merchant to -tiind behind the organization, in putting over this week in great style, pointing out that each and every one of them would reap the great harvest which .is hound to follow.
