Got Order Through "Ignorance." Having been told that a certain buy er was difficult to do business with because he "knew It all/7 a clever shoe salesman recently booked a tidy order by feigning complete ignorance of his own merchandise.

So woefully ignorant of shoes and so wistfully willing to learn all he could /tfbont them did he ap pear that thi> buyer, after trying to assure himself that he was not being "iniyed." went so far as even to write out the order himself. Further than (bis, he complimented the salesman for his willingness .to admtT his Ig norance of the business, asserting that, while* he found that few of them knew what they were talking about, they rand? a great showing of making out that they did.
