Salesmen, Less
Talking. Please!
As A Rine You're Much Too,
Wordy --• Six Important'
Rules To Follow
As .'•a' rule; 'salesmen talk too
much, John Wesley Coates, -lectur-
er on'business psychology and per-
sonality development, declared last
week at Windsor Vocational School,
opening a course on the science of
selling. '
, Personality is the greatest single
factor in •successful salesmanship,
the speaker said, defining person-
ality as "the ability to interest and,
influence other people."
The speaker listed as six' things •
every salesman, salesmanager, ex-
ecutive, and, in fact, everyone,
should li'now, as follows: (1) Don't
try to do all the talking; (2) Never '
interrupt; -(3) Never contradict;.
(4) blaring the first part of your
interview, ask questions; (5) Find
out the prospedt's chief objection.;
and (9) Sell•him exe1usively on that '
point.
The four steps in . conipieting a
sale 'were• listed by Mr. Coates as
follows: (1) Attracting favorable
attention; (2) Creating interest.;
(3)' Arousing desire; and (4) Clot
ing the sale, or "action," the nanie
on the dotted line.

FISH AIRS • •
The externaloxygen supply de-
termines tlhe ability of fish to live
in certain waters, which accounts
for, the 'reason `why each species of
fresh water fish tends to occupy
only a particular.' .region of 'the
lakes and rivers and why their
haunts vary with the season.
•'We 'find that the ability of the "
`'.fish' fo utili2e oxygen in:the water;
• is.influenced ..by the amount of car-
bon dioxide in .the water," ;:three
scientists from' the Edward Martin
Biological Laboratory of ` Swarth-
more Pepnsylvan-ia, told a' recent
Meeting in 'Toronto of the Federa- '
tion of 'American: Societies for Ex-
, perimental Biology. •
The three biologists, Laurence

ranged in 'regular order `beginning
