"Diamond Jim" couldn't hold a candle "pvIAMOND JIM" BRADY J did more than wear spar klers by the pound eat terra pin by the ton. He sold equip ment to railways by the millions of dollars. Actually he was the greatest salesman of his day the master of his craft in an era when drummers put on per sonality to match their marvel. - ous whiskers and watch-chains. The way to make a sale, then, was to overwhelm the customer. How times have changed! The modern. rest room does x not twirl a mustache or pro vide a banquet at Delmonico's. Vet it has become in the years since it was pioneered by Stand- ard a greater salesman than any giant of yesterday. This modest salesman has never asked anybody to buy anything. No one need feel its use involves any obligation to buy. In fact, the rest room was not originated as a salesman at all. If there was any commercial purpose other than a normal betterment of service it was to increase motoring by adding to its comfort. Yet the unsolicited apprecia tion of the motoring public for clean, thoroughly equipped rest rooms told us constantly in thousands of letters has turned out to be something money can't buy or words or per sonality or all Jim Brady'j diamonds.
