With today’s issue, the Pioneer begins its eighth year as a daily in the City of Bemidji. It has, during this time, kept pace with the growth of the city and has given its readers a daily paper recognized by news- papers as one above the average of dailies published in cities the size of Bemidji, It will endeavor in the future to outdo its past record. Its readers have grown in numbers from 300 to nearly 2,000. It is said of the Pioneer that itcovers its locality more thoroughly than other localities in this state are covered by any one paper. It is a record of which it can truly be proud. This fact alone means much to the advertiser. When the advertiser knows that by telling his story in the Pioneer he reaches practically all say it cordially. Just keep in mind’ that “thank you” is the trump card and remember that you are the com- pany to the customer. The more pleasant you look the more pleasant you will be, and never tire of taking paius to please. Smile— Rood salesmen know it wins. Enjoy your work and look it—smile. Soiled linen should go to the wash—don't wear it. Tidiness in your dress is as importaut as tidiness in your stores. Stick to the truth nothing is so good. Don’t argue— stores are not court rooms. Never forget that what a customer asks for be wants, Slow to come is quick to go. Never be late and keep your eyes off the clock—quitting time can’t be hurried. Be a booster—knocking is a waste of time. Lift your work—anybody can hold down a job. Be cheerful—cheerfulness is catching, there is always room be- hind the counter for a smiling face. To get the customer’s attention, give him yours. Get on intimate terms with the goods you sell. Know your stock as" well as you know your way home. The store floor is not a waste basket nor the counter a catch all. A “Thank you” isa part of every transaction. “Thank you” can always be given in change. Every customer should have a reason for coming again. Fight dust—its the microbe of laziness. Doesn’t that sound good? There is a good deal more to sales- manship than selling; good sales. men study the book of human nature. Nobody needs to tell you you're doing well—you know it. Keep your hands clean all the while, make neatness a habit—it couats. No sale is complete until *the customer is satisfied. Keep think- ing what the man in front of you will say when he goes out. A good time to look pleasant is when the customer comes in. Most people would be content with their lot if it were a lot of money. The clock invariably strikes the half hour when you wake up in the night and want to know what time it is. There is one redeeming trait about the new woman. She never refers to herself as the new lady. A man’s enemies never kick him when he is down; they stand aside and let his friends do it. MISS JENNIE SATER IS QUEEN OF THE CONTEST [Continued from First Page.] $2500 IN PRIZES. homes in this section, he feels sati fied that his money has been judici- ously spent. The big wages seem to get into the pay envelope of the man that can beat the bunch at some one job. Jacks-of-all-trades ain’t much in demand nowadays unless somebody is getting up a minstrel show. Talk about “Top-notchers.” It takes good health to make a top- notcher on the base-ball diamond and it takes more yet to make one in business. That’s one reason why “Top-notchers” are so scarce. Pretty near everybody I know is figuring on being happy sometime byeand bye, when they get something or other they’re counting on. Say, I've made up my mind that the time to be happy is the time that’s with you. The cold storage plants may have something to do with the high prices but no farmer ought to grum- ble. Itis easy to remember how cheap and how plenty eggs were at Easter time. Now there is a steady price for the year 'round. Were it not for cold storage, apples would be a minus quanity just mow and not purchasable at any price, yet they are to be had at almost any grocery store. The waste of perish- able fruit is brought to a minimum and like the man who made two blades of grass grow where only one grew before there seems to be a real philanthropy about it. Of course, it has made millionaires, but who would refuse to be one if he had a chance?—Waterford Press. | AM, “THANK YOU.” Say “thank you” every time, and Capitol Prize.
