When you are attacked by some one who wants to do you bodily injury, if you are the average American man, you staighten out your body and give the miscreant a direct hit from the shoulder that lays him out — a candidate for the hospital. That is called punch. But there are other kinds of punch. Every kind of human action originated by a human be ing may be strong or weak ac cording to the energy put into it by the person. The effect of those actions on the rest or the world, or any particular person, when those actions make a deep and paralyzing impression, is called punch. We talk about the punch of a theatrical play, meaning the strong permanent blow of its ac tion on the feelings of the audi ence. A story has punch and the JOHNR. SMITH most ordinary clerk in your store can give punch to his daily work and life that will leave a lasting impression on the people with whom he comes into contact. It is punch that makes you suc cessful —without punch you can not even hope to start on the road to prosperity. Bunch should enter into every action of your life. If you pray, put punch into it. If you sell goods in your store, put punch into the selling talk. Bunch shows sincerity just the same as that blow from the shoulder on the part of the man. If you look a woman or man in the face, and put punch into the arguments and suggestions you use to sell you goods, you will create an impres sion that you believe in what you sell and that fact alone goes a long way towards consummation of the sale. When you look carefully over the written accounts of the men and women who have made his tory and been really great in all walks of life, you will find in numerable instances of punch, showing clearly that success was built on it, as much as on their other actions. Many men and women believe all that is necessary to .secure success in life is to conceive an idea or set of ideas and carry out the actions in connection there with along well defined rules. They even become imitative and follow the rules laid down by the great men and women I have enumerated. That is the road to failure. No matter how good your plans are or well laid the methods of carrying them out, you must put punch into their execution to make them successful.

PHONE 75. that the highest grade of sales manship, both inside and outside your store, is necessary to that success —be sure you also allow for punch in the execution of your plans. In your publicity, for in stance, you need punch in the salesmanship used. No matter what your business, you require punch in that salesmanship to im press your goods on the minds of the people and make them remem ber you sufficiently long and earnestly to buy. It is just the same punch as is referred to in connection with the theatrical play. Unless that play has punch it would not leave a sufficiently good impression on the play-goers to make them criticise it to its ad vantage. Use punch, then, in your advertisements. Bunch home “straight from the shoulder” into the minds of the prospective customer and he or she will re member you longer and more favorably than all possible rivals.
