Show KIWAN1S CLUB URGES 2 CITIES j PHONE SERVICE Now Plan to Ask Extension j of Free Service to Spring- fT ville and Provo- "Stock Taking" vvns the subject j of the talk delivered by John L. ; Spencer of Salt Lake before the Sprinpville Kiwanis club nt the weekly luncheon held nt tUe Third ward amusement hall Thursday I, evening. May 35. j ' "Modern businesses have no u?e 1, for three types of men," he said, "the 'yes man,' a man that does ; not think or act outside of his own i given job; 'the hermit who lets : ! the other fellow do his share when there is a public duty to be per- i formed, and 'the back number," a l , man who never takes stock, who never asks himself the question, 'Am I the kind of a neiphor, business , -man, or professional man that people peo-ple like to do business with or that . I would like to do business with?' "The element of salesmanship enters into every element of life," he said, "and salesmanship is a combination com-bination of quality both natural , and acquired which enables a person per-son acting for himself, or as an agent, to negotiate the transfer of something of value for a consideration, considera-tion, on the basis that all parties to tbe transaction must be benefited. "When a man goes into a busi- ness institution today, he not only 1 expects for his dollar a dollar's 1 worth of quality of goods, and a dollars worth of quantity of good , but more than a dollar's worth of ; service. . "The business firms who are sue- , cessful probably have not any bet- j ter goods nor prices any cheaper, but they have some personality that ' attracts. Your salesmen determine whether they are to be salesmen or a sale man. A salesman is one who repeatedly sells to the same customer, while a sale man only ( sells once." ' , He suggested that every man 1 should take stock nnd ask himself 1 these questions: "Am I the !rtnd ' . of man that I would like to do busi- 1' ness with? Am I the kind of man , that I would like to have for a neighbor? When there is a public 1 duty to be performed am I letting 1 somebody else do it? How many j of me would it take to make a real, j up-to-date city? Am I doing one I thing a little better and n little ' more cheerful than anybody else?" Mr. Spencer, K. S. Hinckley, sec- ; retary of the Provo Chamber of y Commerce, and Howard Howe, an l official at the steel plant, were in- troduced ns gnosis. The community j' ; singing was led by M. K. Crandall, Jr. Elmo Coffman rendered a vocal ,: ; solo. The attendance prize waa .j awarded to M. E. Crandall, Jr. j'i I. S. Brown reported on the pro- j ! gress of the telephone committee. jt lie stated up to the present tbe ?: '.telephone company, would not give J i any consideration to giving Spring- . i ville free telephone service to the ; ,steel plane. He contended that Springville is entitled to free service and that tbe telephone company is , .discriminating in their service. He ' stated that the findings of an in- f , vesligation showed that every thing north of Provo Bench is on a free ' service line. That there are no toll charges between Lindon. Pleasant (: Xirove, American Fork, Alpine and . Lehi. Mr. Spencer refored to the service between Salt Inke, Murray and ! vicinity and suggested that if tlu ! people would stick together nnd !' fight for justice, that there is nrf , reason why they should not have ' free service from Springville to the ' steel plant as well as from Provo j ' to the slocl plant. E. S. Hinckley volunteered the 1 statement that he believed tin; peo-pie peo-pie of Springville were right in their 1 stand, but he suggested that the 1 fight should not be made only for ' free service to the steel plant but that the toll service between Springville Spring-ville and Provo should be abolished. There was a time and only a few years ago when there was free telephone tele-phone service between Spring villi J ' and Provo and tbe toll system was1 put into effect while the people slept, ! on their rights. "With the exception1 of North Ogden all of WVher county' Is on free telephone service, he said.! Following t he remarks of Dr.i Geo. A. Anderson and President M.' O. Packard the eornmitleo was in-:! structed (o take t lie matter up with' the State Public Utilities commission. com-mission. i1 |
