SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS THE PRINCE OF WALES’S ADVICE The Daily Chronicle asks tile question: “Is it part of a shopkeeper’s business to keep himself informed about the foods and beverages which be sells, and to pass the information on to customers, when they ask for it? ” It is difficult to see how a salesman can possibly sell, with any measure of success, articler about which be knows next to nothing. , This is particularly so where the articles are pure, and ’mor< than a superficial knowledge is absolutely essential to ensure hygienic handling and storage, quite apart from the matter of rendering intelligent service to the customer. There is no doubt that most of the spoilage troubles would be obviated if the average shopkeeper would rouse himself to look a little beyond his till, and discharge a duty which he owes to the public by the expenditure of a nominal amount of brain- , power in acquiring the rudiments of pure food science. Successful traders make it their business not only to have an intimate knowledge of the goods they sell and of the best firms who manufacture them, but also to take a direct interest in their customers and the households in which the goods are used. That is good salesmanship of the very bind advocated at the Mansion House by the Prince of Wales, who. by the way. placed Personality and Knowledge of the Goods to be Sold in the forefront of the attributes of a salesman.
