Logan Is Speaker at State Convention Today in Jamestown TALKS ON COOPERATION Tells Business Men- to Give Encouragement To Employees Jamestown, N. D., May 20.—(AP) —Cooperation, an essential to retail merchandising, should be three-fold, and include, cooperation in the mer- chant’s individual business, — with “brother” merchants and the jobbers and cooperation with the community, Roy P. Logan, Bismarck merchant told the members of the state Retail | Merchants Association in convention here today. Mr. Logan is president of the state organization. Cooperation, ‘tlike religion; should begin at home,” he said. “It should be your desire to have your employes feel that they are doing something more than just manual labor,” he continued. “Try feel that you are willing to them improve their knowledge, 0 that at some future day they can go into business for themselves, or ac- to make the boys! help | { | i | quire a position that will start them | on the road to success.” In line with this suggestion, Mr. Logan suid that meetings to discuss salesmanship, | ¢ store arrangement, window trin mings, profityand loss, and the ca es of loss in the store and in deliv- ery, would help to draw emplo; and the store owner or manager i to ¢loser harmony. Home your employes Welcome at “Do not feel that have not the same desires and ambi- tions that you have,” he said. “Let them feel that they are always wel- come at your home. Your retur: will be well worth the true effort put forth.” The merchant should also well in the eyes of his competitors,’ Mr. Logan said. “By competitors, I do not necessarily mean the man across the street or a few blocks away, but your employes as well, for dissatisfaction int your organization is your greatest competitor. Go out of the way to see your competitors in their place of business. I find that through good fellowship more can be accomplished than by all the rules and by-laws an organization _ could have.” Cooperation with the jobber is also essential, according to the Bismarck store-keeper. “Be fair to your job- ber,” he said. “He interested in your success and will gladly help you if you will let him. promptly and accept orders that you have given. ‘ Community Service The merchant's community “is en- titled to a certain share of his time,” the speaker said. “It pays big divi- dends. As your community prospers, so will you if you keep abreast of the times.” Mr. Logan said that advertising “will fall far short of your expecta; tions if you do not back it up by personal contact—a smile in your store or a pleasant voice and ‘thank you’ over the telephone. He further advised the merchants to carry goods of only recognized quality; advertise more by “telling about your store or merchandi: than by quoting strings of prices” further the use of the telephone in ordering groceries by placing respon- sible order takers and clerks to put up the orders in charge of this de- partment; and make up window displays, not alone of groceries, but “with the spirit of some particular holiday or community enterprise.” Raps Peddlers The peddler, hawker, and transient “stand merchant should be forced to pay a! afternoon. license in North Dakota, O. H. So Buxton, N. D., merchant told mem bers of the Association in an ad- ddress today. These traveling sellers, were class- | ed as a “common nuisance” by Mr. Pay bills} | | | | Sorlie, who said that “in prosperous | times they come into the state te reap the benefits of the established their burdens.” 4 , “This is a very important question and should be of interest to every tax payer,” he said. “They should at least be made to comply with ex- isting laws by providing themselves | with a permit. This is the only way they can be reached for their part of the annual tax that yau and | must pay, or quit business. ig no reason why the same rule should not apply to them, Favors License System “1 also believe the license system | should be extended to take in all classes of men soliciting orders for merchandise, including commercial travelers, or so-called traveling men, and I am sure every legitimate job- bing house and manufacturer selling goods on their merits ld ho glad to comply with a law of this kind. It would have the tendency to elim- inate only those who represent no. responsibility and whose goods are not worth the price they ask and who never comes for @ second order. “This is not a new Ides, It has deen in force in several of older stées, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ari- , (Continued on page three) There; jwere present at the North Dakota ;8es and pastures of North Dakota institutions without sharing any of} show material improvement, says the ESS Part of a haul made on the outs!

He took several detective squads on a search of the city and broadcasted a mess- {age asking that White be detained.
