MISSING SALESMEN.
Why should your advertiser be surprised at receiving only five applications for his hypo-, thetical position, outdoors, I presume? What does he imagine all the missing men are doing in the meantime—waiting for this job? He will find them on relief works mostly, having given up all hope of selling anything to this hard-up community. The customers are also either missing or else smarting from "cuts" and taxation and in no humour to entertain salesmen. Your advertiser may doubt this, but if he goes out himself he will soon know all about it. Further, any man of reputation can pick and choose unlimited quantities of goods if he can find customers, but those days are past.' He simply cannot afford to even look for them. W.S.
