The General Sales Manager of that Company, comparing the work
of a modern telephone salesman with that of one of the old school,writes:

"In 124 days the telephone salesman called on
4,628 merchants, 4,522 of them by telephone,
averaging 37 calls per day.

"The old school salesman made 3,750 calls in
216 days, less than half of them by telephone,
and averaged only 18 calls per day.

"The average daily sales of the man who sold 6y

telephone were two and one-half times those of the
member of the old school."

The telephone is quick, handy and a sure card of admittance.
It builds business and good-will and lowers selling costs.
