This will mean that the auto salesman will bother to get up out of his chair. The proprietor may drop that deep-freeze manner and start cultivating good-will again. ---- *---- We understand some salesrooms are already starting to rehearse the staff in shaking the head up and down instead of negatively. It has been years since some auto salesmen have had any practice in vigorous salesmanship. They have been specialists in discourag­ ing customers. It is not going to be easy reconverting them into warm human beings dealing in a popular product. —*— There will be plenty of cardiac trouble when people walk into agencies once more in this country and anybody shows a mild interest in them.

I’m happy to see you and trust I may interest you in a new car. Customer—Quick, an aspirin tablet! Salesman—Certainly, Take a couple on the house. Customer—T w o won’t be enough. Let's get this straight. Are you really an auto sales­ man? Salesman—Certainly. Customer—And are you au­ thorized by the boss to welcome a prospective buyer this way? Salesman—Yes, he is out of the icepack, too. What model would you like? Customer—You mean with- out putting my name on a list? Salesman—Exactly. No mor lists. Customer—That’s going to a little hard to get used to. gives a man prestige to be those waiting lists. I was on many that, if by some miracle production had suddenly caught up with the demand. I would have had 15 new cars at my door. Salesman—From now on you get a car when you want it. Customer—Right away? Salesman—At once. Customer—With no political influence? Salesman—None. Customer—No angles? Salesman—Not one. Customer—No bonus? Salesman—Not at all. Customer—What about my old car? Salesman—we give you a fair price for it and don’t even insist you trade it in if you can do better at private sale.
