Mr. i Olmstead contends that as the bonds are ; j a first class investment, the way to pre ; sent them to prospective; customers-is j by salesmanship. The several hundred j professional salesmen, from the insur- ance companies and bond houses, will have as- reserves a flying squadron of j; heavyweight business men who will go to j such places as the salesmen find difficult 5f to handle. -y :-:--y !l Industrial Portland will be handled I through Industrial leaders, the labor w- !t conizations having ' expressed 'a desire to attend to this themselves and they. ! have been accorded the privilege.
