Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 147, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 July 1917 — Salesmanship in Schools. [ARTICLE]

Salesmanship in Schools.

Boston has a director of salesmanship in its public schools. The place is filled by Isabel C. Bacon, who, at a session of the National Retail Dry Goods association, presented the question of co-operative courses in salesmanship in high schools and stores. She reported that her classes had increased in the last four years and that store executives were co-operating to make the work a success. In teaching salesmanship there is actual demonstration of the processes, a teacher acting as a customer and another as a salesgirl.
