Club was Jackson Smith, vice
president of Marshall Business
College and specialist in the Dale
Carnegie courses. Mr, Smith was
introduced by Richard Blood
worth, who arranged the program.

tion he gave on using the memory,
there is no doubt he is well quali
fied.
Mr. Smith had members list
twenty items and then call for
them by number, which he
promptly gave.
The speaker emphasized that if
a person will cultivate a good
memory he will make more friends
and more money, pointing out that
a man is usually proud of his name
and does not like to have it for
gotten, He said the secret of
memory is associating the name
with some object and he used as
an example Dr. Howard Giddens,
pastor of First Baptist Church, and
the Gideon Bible.
Morton Hodgson, of the com
mittee on fellowship, made an an
nouncement in greeting visitors

Psstl Drug Store Clerks Studying
Salesmanship; Here's How They
Plan To Get You To Buy More
BY RICHARD KLINER
NEA Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK— (NEA) — The
drug store clerks of America are
going to school to learn how to sell
you more stuff. So, after all} it’s
only fair that you get tipped off
to their scheme to make you buy:
The clerks’ school is going, one
by one, to 72 cities. For two days
in each city, the boys and girls
who jerk sodas, peddle pills and
g%sh pomade will get the works.
‘They’ll hear lectures, see movies
and watch skits. All with the one
idea—to make the average per
'son take home more corn plaster.
"wave lotion and sundry sundries.
\ Just so you have a fighting
‘chance, here’s how the rewired
~drug store clerk has been taught
‘to get your last cent:
~ First, they’re going to try to
appeal to what their manual calls
“the fundamental human desires
and wants.” The desire to stay
alive, for example, is fairly wide
spread. So they’ll sell you vita
‘min pills and drugs and other stuff
‘that, they claim,' wi}l help.
~ Another fundemental desire
listed is “love of the opposite sex.”
The next time a drug store clerk
tells you that “this lipstick makes
your lips look kissable” or “this
hair goo makes you look rugged,”
you can be sure the littfe rascal
has that opposite sex business in
mind.
After that comes, among the
desires health (“Dr.Quax’ Pellets
will help you avoid galloping
housemaid’s knee): pride (“Cus
tomers who buy the best always
use this brand”); imitation (“Mrs.
Van Snootingham bou%ht a bottle
just the other da]}('”); ompanion
ship (“Sink-Staink keeps you from
offending during the dog days”);
desire to escape drudgery (*This
orange juice squeezer is so easy,
even an orange can operate it”);
and money-saving (“This is just
as good, and cheaper”).
But that’s only the first lesson.
After the boys and girls learn
these desires, they go on to higher
things. They take up what is call
ed “Your Selling Personality.” If
you ever run -across a drug clerk
who is smiling, attentive, helpful,
sincerely interested, enthusiastie,
‘patient, poised, tactful, courteous,
neatly dressed, soft-spoken and
professional in attitude — well,
that guy has learned his selling
personality lesson.
Lesson three is titled, with sub
tle charm, “Helping Your Cus
tomers Buy.” It analyzes the
three-step method to more sales—
the approach, the demonstration,
and the close.
® & »
The clerks are encouraged to
approach customers with a smile.
They can leer later, but first they
must smile. Then, instead of just
saying, “Have you been waited
on?” they are told it is more prof
itable to say somethinf like “Good
morning. Snowwhite is the tooth
paste we are featuring; it makes
your teeth whiter,” or “Good af
ternoon. isn’t this compact wrap
