For this reason demonstrations are so much more effective wher they are skilful, informative, and authoritative. They should, in the best sense, be a combination of demonstrated skill in procedure, coupled with helpful information born of experience. It is for this reason that a woman graduate, who has added extensive experience to a university training, gains the confidence of her audience, and can make pronouncements of value. The ability of competent salesmen should be available to prospective buyers. Demonstrations of cooking methods should preferably, be free from masculine sales talk or stunt effects. Competent salesmen for sales, and demonstrations which concentrate upon demonstrating —these are features of the camnaien for that great aid to health-Elictric Cooking—at the M.E.D. _i
