Mr. - Moyer said: t "It Is not presumed that this Course will make men successful - salesmen at once. But It will ' give them a good start.

I expect that the class, after receiving, the benefit of the - several lecturers and texts, will turn out some very able salesmen." Special talks will be given during the T. fit.
