Show A LITTLE SALES LADY Did you ever go into a store with only the intention of looking around? You know what I mean. You're undecided and want to get some ideas. And finally, you don't know why, you find yourself packing pack-ing several bundles toward home, and smiling to yourself with a sort of quiet satisfaction. Some salesmen and their kindred of the feminine gender have the delightful faculty of pleasing the customer and making him feel glad that he came into their particular partic-ular store to buy. j All of this is written as a tribute ! to our little friend and saleslady. Miss Frances Anne' Sloan. Frances won our admiration by her gracious gra-cious manner, and eventually a peep into our pockethook by her persuasive persua-sive charm, I bought what I really didn't need because she was behind the counter at her father's store; and I'll likely go back again and feel amply compensated for the privilege of a similar purchase just to have her sell it to me. Frances is only twelve, but she" has the attributes that others much older might emulate to advantage i I also accept the intimation with ' good grace, and frankly confess i that those brief visits with the lit- tie saleslady have been an inspira-i inspira-i tion to me. 1 W.S.S. |
