MORO, OREGON CREAM PRICE 42 cents June 5, 1925 In “The Rag Man,” Jackie Coogan is once more a regular American boy, a lad from the sidewalks of New York. In his other recent pictures he has been wandering all over the map in variety of roles. Those folk who have been demanding to see thé Jackie they first loved in “The Kid,” will have their opportunity, for he is said to have a similar role that gives him just as much chance for pathos and even more for comedy. The story was written especially for the child star by Willard Mack, and this distinguished playwright has constructed a humorous and thrilling tale as only he can, full of activity, but not crowded with complications. Golden Rule Pays Beat in Business Service and courtesy are the two greatest assets of business firms. Having the goods and delivering them in a pleasing manner are what win public approval. Good rules along this line are : When the customer comes in with a complaint, don’t send him or her from piiler to post; that irritates. Study the cause of complaints; eradicate them at their source. Completeness of reply is only one- half of courtesy; the manner of re ply is the other half. Be polite and pleasant, thus mak ing the party glad ho or she called. Show individuality to each custo mer; make him feel he is “Mr. Simpson” and not just one of the throng. *1 Get the other fellow’s point of view. Don’t argue, inform. Melvin Hansen, nephew of.
