It tells you the good features about the article ad vertised and gives a reason why you should buy it. A good salesman knows his stock and knowB his people. Ho makes many sales and many pleased customers. And a pleased customer is one of the best advertisements a store cau have. Therefore, a good sales man Is a good advertiser. Poople Just naturally go to those stores where they are sure of finding good salespeo ple. Likewise they are influ enced by good advertisements. They demand merchandise about which they have been in formed through advertisements In the most straightforward and salesmanlike manner. All salespeople should be stu dents of advertising especially of the kind of things they sell. And nil advertisers should study the frank, open and obliging ways ot the good salesman, ine two are inseparable.
