He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.—St. John 3:36. W anted —Salesmen A SHORTAGE of sales managers is reported by a “white collar” employment bureau in New York, which supplies business executives, efficiency experts and college professors, like similar organizations supply teamsters, cooks and day laborers, “There is a constantly increasing demand for sales managers,” says the report. “Recently we have been supplying men for these positions at salaries averaging $231 a week. And we have trouble finding men to meet the demand.” Young man, if you are “undecided what to do,” give a thought to salesmanship as a career. The business of our country went through an era* in which big fortunes went to men who were geniuses at production. The corporations known as trusts were built up as producing organizations. High efficiency in production, however, means nothing if there is no market for what is produced. This is where the salesman steps in. The sales engineer now ranks in importance with the production engineer, and in many organizations outranks that official. Salesmanship is the coming field. Competition is bound to be sharp and keen in the post-war years that lie ahead. And it is salesmanship that “cops the business” in high competition. It is generally realized that the problems of production have been nearly solved, and that the real problem of business is distribution. Making distribution more scientific and less wasteful, by finding economic short cuts from producer to consumer is a job that is up to the sales engineers and their armies of salesmen. The majority of our economic problems are problems—problems of marketing. Normalcy Is Here—For Some Folks THOMAS E. WILSON, president of,the Institute of American Meat Packers, addressing its seventeenth annual convention in Chicago the other day, told his hearers that wholesale meat prices have just about returned to pre-war conditions. Now that would be mighty cheerful news if we didn't know it doesn’t mean anything—to us. In fact, we have known for some time that farmers were getting bottom prices for what they sell. But we have also known that the public is still being charged top prices for what it buys. And here’s another thing we have observed: When big business concerns like the meat packers get a hunch that some time in the dim and distant future there is going to be a shortage of cattle, and therefore a possible increase in price, they boost retail prices at once. But, when there is an actual drop in the price they have to pay for the raw materials, it takes months, and sometimes years, for the public to get the benefit therefrom. So, as we have said, Mr. ANilson’s news isn’t so cheering as otherwise it might be. The meat packing business, he says, has returned to normalcy. He says it is flourishing; that it is in a better position today than it has been for several years. Why shouldn’t it be? Buying low from the farmer—and making him pay the freight charges—and selling high to the public, the meat packing business should be humming like a top. Which is precisely what the packers tell the world it is doing. Yes, normalcy is fast returning—for some folks. When Thieves Fall Out— COUNT \ OX BULOW doesn’t like what Kaiser William has written about him in his “Memoirs.” So he is going to publish a “memoir” of his own. This is as it should be. Publicity is a good thing for royalty. W hen Yon Bulow gets through telling William what he thinks of him, no doubt William will have many more things to tell about ' on Bulow. And by the time they get through with each other nothing will be left concealed. Perhaps we may learn who started the war. And who won the war. And, above all, who ended the war. If the Kaiser can do these things, instead of hanging him—as the allies once advocated doing—we may yet learn to hoch him.
