The Poor Man’s Philosopher
A BRUSH WITH FORTUNE
NEW YORK —(AP)—“If you
push enough doorbells, you’ll
sell enough brushes.”
That is the s#=jle sale formu
la on which_Alfred C. Fuller,
the original Fuller Brush Man,
{has built a gigantic house-to
house business.
Fuller now 63, started in the
basement of his sister-in-law’s
house in 1905. He made the
brushes on a sls second-hand
machine in the afternoon and
evening, peddl‘ed them the next
morning.
He doesn’t have to push door
bells himself anymore. He’'s so
*wealthy he doesn’i even have to
Yanswer the Goor himself when a
Fuiller Brush Man rings his door
bell to try to sell him a brush. |
But this year some 7,000 Ful
ler Brush men across the nation
will push approximately 43,750,-
000 doorbells to sell housewives
nearly .$30,000,000 worth of
brushes.
Today the Fuller Brush Man
has become a familiar figure on
the American doorstep. Red
Skelton has just made a movie
about him and The Saturday
Evening Post featured him this
week in one of its “men at
work” series. |
What's He ' Like? |
What's he like—this door-to
door salesman who has taken the
place of the oldtime itinerant
peddler and knocks more often
than the postman?
The brush company recently
polled some of its 7,000 dealers
and came up with this picture:
The average Fuller Brush Man
is @4O years old, has a high
school education sets his own
hours, earns $/0 a week. He has
been married 12 1-2 years has
a boy and a girl, owns a 5 1-2-
room house and a low-priced car
7 1-2 years old with 52,500 miles
.{on the speedometer.
' He owns two radios, has been
‘| selling brushes for four years.
'} His favorite hobbies are fishing,
gardening and hunting, but he
may collect seashells or pictures
of steamships. This probably re
flects a get-away - from-it-all
feeling. t
: Some 35 per cent saw military
service, 36 per cent belong to
a fraternal lodge, one out of
five has held a public office.
Three have been mayors, three
were ministers and one was a
Royal Canadian mounted police
man who wearied of the horse.
One out Of Two
The Fuller Brush Man works
five days a week, pushes 25
doorbells a day, gives free to
every prospect a vegetabie scrub
bing brush that costs him three
cents. He has at least 2,000 fa
milies in his district calls on
them three or more times a year,
sells to one out of every two
housewives who come to the
door. :
The door is his big problem.
He isn't allowed to ‘put his foot
in it, but once he gets pagt it he
generally figures he’s in—phy
sically and in a sales sense, too.
He then has 135 items to sell-
From nail brushes to furniture
polish.
In one out of 25 cases the Ful
ler. Brush Man isn’t a man at
all. He's a Fuller Brush Lady.
The percentage of women sales
men rose during the war.
Strange things happen to the
Fuller Brush Man. He has helped
deliver babies, rushed stricken
people to hospitals. One saved a
child strangling on a coin by
upending the baby and slapping
‘her. bottom until the coin dropped
out. One was picked up by a po
liceman looking for a robery sus
pect. The Fuller Brush Man sold
the cop a clothesbrush.
) . Try Try Again
The Fuller Brush Man can’t
bristle when a door slams in his
face. has to try, try again.
“One superintendent told me
I could never get into his build
ing while he was alive,”” a Fuller
Brush Man wrote cheerfully.
“But he dropped dead so now I
can go intc the building.”
Many Fuller Brush Men goc
on to bigger things. One the
company doesn’t mention much
is Landon C. Kellogg of West
field, Mass. He began pushing
‘doorbells for Fuller in 1922. Twq
years later he began manufac
turing brushes himself, built the
business to a 3,000,000 annual
volume by 1946. |
Kellogg sold out thrée months
ago and retired at 48. He has a
private plane and an estate in
Florida. ¢ i
Now He's like Fuller—doest’t
even have to answer his own
doorbell. 5 ‘
When custord is being baked the
custard cups should be placed in
a pan of hot water; this helps to
Tmaintain an even temperature
‘throughout the whole custard. If
the water in the pan beils, the
[t’emperature is too high and will
cause curdling.
