Patterson, dead now at the age of 77. Patterson was a wizard psychology. He knew the sctence ef mak- of ing money, knew It “from soup to nuts.” From his life, you learn much that may help you get rich. eee Patterson’s greatest legacy to the future is scientific salesman- ship, of which he was the step- father. His factory, the National Cash Register company, had the first school in our country devoted ex- clusively to salesmanship as a science or art. The idea was im- ported from Germany. In this school, Patterson's drummers were taught the answer to every possible objection or question that might be raleed |by @ prospective cash register | bayer.
