Argue From Others' Point of View TJENRY STRAINERT, of Richmond, Indiana, once saved $13.80 by merely seeing the other fellow's point of view, and he says that that was better than earning the same amount for it gave him the satisfaction of knowing that he eould handle a trying situation. A friend who lived in the same house got two of Henry's shirts mixed with his own laundry. When the laundry was delivered this boy was out of town. The delivery man demanded that Henry Hen-ry pay the entire bill of $15, or he couldn't have his two shirts. In vain Henry argued that he didn't want the other boy's laundry, that it could be held until the boy returned and paid his own bill. But Henry did want his own shirts. Naturally. However, the man took- thp hnndle nf rlnt.hinc , 0 ucgiu back m its entirety to headquarters. Henry thought it over that night after he went to bed. All of a sudden there came into his mind something he had once heard a successful salesman say about "talking from the other fellow's point of view." The next day he went around to see the head of the laundry ... and found, he had been advised of the shirt status. He said the delivery man was right; the bill must be paid before Henry could get his shirts. Said Henry, "I see your point of view and I am sure I would feel as you do about it if I were in your place. Of course, you don't know that my friend will ever return for his laundry." "Exactly," the laundryman agreed. . . "And if he shouldn't you would be stuck with his clothing which you don't want." "That's just the case," said the other man, "this isn't the first time such a ihing has happened, you know." "I'm sure of that," agreed Henry. "And as I say, I can't blame you however badly I need those shirts." He moved as if to go, saying, "I know my friend will return, I can only hope it will be this week." At that the laundryman looked at him closely and said: "I'm sure you're telling the truth about your shirts and I'm going to take a chance on the other fellow coming back and paying his bill." Then he rang for one of the workers and told him to give Henry his shirts.
