NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
"Throw up. . your hands, Bud,

Maitland obeyed and both stood with
hands in the air.
The woods' gave back no comment.
"Are you bein' hostile or just cau-

"If I: was a, little more cautious,". a
gruff voice spoke with freezing in-

nodded toward the caribou hide that
hung in the fire smoke. "I reckon

weird tone that seemed to expect no
answer. "Is that dog still alive. See
any other travelers along the route?"
"Not around here . Could tell
you better if I knowed who you was

Another pause followed before the
speaker said, with an effect of :hal

"With a boy?"
"Yes . . with a boy. The man's
name is Owens."

Billy Van
— Says:
One of the most successful salesmen of this time, Ma. Billy Van,
says that successful( salesmanship is simply the application of show-
manship to merchandising."
"The secret of success in acting is torehearse and rehearse and
release until you have created an unforgettable impression upon the
mind of the actor. He then lives his part. His sincerity enables his
audience to live it with him. Of course, the play must be good. It
gets you nowhere to have people say, `Billy Van was great, but the
show was rotten!" Similarly you mu'st have a good product, and be -
,cause you are talking to a procession and not standing crowd, year
advertising must be insistent and persistent. You must rehearse
and release and rehease if both the show and the actors—the product
andand the actors—aro to get their message across—to create the
}unforgettable impression.
"There is no such thing es sales resistance to quality merchant.
