This, Mr. Mason points out, is not just a promotion scheme of one company. It‘s a Recovery Plan deâ€" signed for the use of EVERYBODY wui%flm It is an idea is at once so simple and so understandable that everyone who hears it seems to catch its l_icnle-e.nlm its of national significance. . â€" Sales mean jobs. It is reaso: to believe that the salesmen‘s sade can lead to prosperity. The crusade‘s slogan is "Sales Mean Jobs." ‘This is a battle ery around which EVERYBODY can ralâ€" ly. Every time a stlesman closes But now salesmen are enlisting in a CAUSE. They are fighting the enemy of depression, menacing the welfare of everybody in the country. They are battling for the American standard of living. What if they don‘t get results the first day or the first week? They‘re making all the calls they can humanly make in the course of each day. They‘re in the army and they‘re performing a pubâ€" lic service. workâ€"and the result is a movement This plan gives to salesmen an incentive to go out after business. Before it came along, he was disâ€" couraged, down in the dumps. Cusâ€" tomer resistance was tremendous. Times were tough. "What‘s the use," thought many salesmen. Might as well hang around the showroom and wait for someone to come in looking for something at a> cut price." ‘The idea is this: Every salesman in Mr. Mason‘s farâ€"flung organizaâ€" tion pledges himself to make ten calls a day as a patriotic duty. Through widespread news coverage and newspaper cooperation, mass meeting, endorsements from public leaders, the prospects upon whom the salesman calls may be led to answer the doorbell with at least a friendly welcome and a patient hearâ€" ing of his sales story. This is the consumer‘s contribution to a patriâ€" otic movement. Instead of resenting and resistâ€" ing the salesman as just someone else who is trying to get his hardâ€" earned money, the prospect, it is hoped, will understand that the salesman has joined a movement toâ€" ward recovery. . He is out to get goods moving againâ€"to crack the logâ€"jam of public apathy which has dammed the stream of business. If the salesman succeeds, goods will move, national income will rise, times will get betterâ€"and everyâ€" one, including the buyer, will thereâ€" by benefit. All the prospect has to do is treat the salesman courâ€" teously, give him a sporting chance to tell his story. This will help him maintain his morale. Mr. Mason‘s idea is utterly simâ€" ple, easily understandable. ‘That, no doubt, is why it is sweeping the country today, being adopted in mafty communities as a means of fighting for better business. _ A large representation from Highland Park attended the lunchâ€" eon at noon at the Chicago hotel and listened to several brilliant addressâ€" es by big business heads of national organizations.

Local Men Attend National Crusade To Create Business On June 14th a similar meeting was held in New York and was heard â€"over a national hook up throughout the eastern states.

Tuesday noon more than 2,000 business men from the Chicago Area, assembled at the Stevens hoâ€" tel for the National Salesmen‘s Cruâ€" sade, a movement headed by George W. Mason, president of the Nashâ€" Kelvinator corporation, to investiâ€" gate business. A cooperative movement has been started in this country which may possibly reverse the present busiâ€" ness trend. It all depends, of course, upon how quickly and how effectiveâ€" ly all lines of business take up the challenge.

She has to undergo the Pasteur treatments as a prevention against rabies. * As the artist cut his birthday cake, the assembled group sang "Happy Birthday to You" which was followed by a brief talk by Dudley The group assembled was more or less a family gathering; all the persons there were ardent admirers of Peyraud and had come to pay a tribute to him. ‘There were present in the group a number of local artâ€" ists and wirters. Mrs. M. R. Beatâ€" ty and Mrs. R. Bennett, both well known among poetry Jlovers, comâ€" posed verses especially in honor of Peyraud and his 80th birthday. Community houses of today must plan for many hobby club and soâ€" cial club activities. These club acâ€" tivities, include: camera, stamp, craft, chess, choral, debating and speech, ladies‘ sewing, and many other clubs too numerous to menâ€" tion. Space must be provided for card parties, small lecture and class groups, social parties, boy and girl scout merit and proficiency badge classes. The second floor of the proposed Community House has been plannâ€" ed to care for the many and varied smaller groups who need adequate facilties for their activities. It comâ€" prises a group of two rooms, conâ€" nected by a kitchenette. The main room is about 30 feet square, faces Sunset Park, with two walls of winâ€" dows. It will be a most inviting and attractive room. The other room on the second floor is 16x28 feet in size and also has many windows on two of the walls facing the park. A kitchenette lies between the two rooms. Here light refreshments, afâ€" ternoon coffee or tea can be preâ€" pared and served. The combined use of these two rooms for an afâ€" ternoon card party or lecture in the large room, and refreshments served in the other room, will make an attractive combination. Cabinet space is provided for hobby clubs, scout groups and other recurring activities; so that equipment needâ€" ed for these activities can be safely stored away while not in use. Now let us take a look at the ground floor plan. Here are to be located the wash rooms for men and women. There will be two lockâ€" er rooms in the men‘s section, which will normally provide a locker room for the men and one for the boys. However, during basketball games the visiting team can have its own locker room; which by many is conâ€" sidered very desirable. f In the women‘s section as well as (Continued on Page 5) Large Assemblage Pays Honor Sunday To Noted Artist More Details About Community House Floor Layâ€"Out Recently she was asked to help Infant Meets Urbana, Il11l.

Dahlia Blooms In Fontaine Garden Termed Phenomenal A very beautiful red dakilis is in full bloom in the garden of Mrs. Everett O. Fontaine at 752 Glenâ€" coe avenue, As dahlias seldom bloom before the early part of Auâ€" gust, this might be termed a pheâ€" nomena or "freak of nature." Ravinia Festival Opens For Third Season, Next Thursday Last Sunday, as is his wont, Edâ€" die and a party of friends went to the Aurora Country club for a round of golf. Upon arrival they discovered that the prime element for a good game of golf was lackâ€" ingâ€"the caddies. The twosome just teeing off was in the same predicaâ€" ment and were loudly bemoaning the fact. Bo Eddie, not adverse to picking up some small change, rumpled his hair, mussed his clothes, went over and offered his services to the pair; thinking him a caddy, he was eagerâ€" ly accepted. All afternoon he carâ€" ried double for them, watching their shots, listening to their language nnt_l twice getting treated to "pop." At the finish of the game, Eddie walked back to his friends and proudly extended his handâ€"in it was $2.20. Achushnet "Hit Show" Golf Demonstration + Sunset June 29 A large turnout of Highland Park golfers is expected to see the Acâ€" ushnet Caravan when it visits the Sunset Valley Golf club June 29th at 6 p.m. This remarkable trailerâ€" housed driving machine and golf ball testing laboratory is making a naâ€" tionwide tour of golf clubs, thrillâ€" ing golfers with its unusual demonâ€" strations. The machine certainly smacks them out. In a demonstration at the Corsicana, Texas, Country elub the driving machine drove a bail for a carry of more than 600 yards. Drives of 400 and 500 yards are common. This year the ‘Acushnet Hit Show‘ which is conducted by Claude Hasâ€" tings, is presenting a new starâ€" the Acushnet Titleist golf ball. This winter the ball was given exhnus-i tive tests in Florida, both by proâ€" fessional golfers and by the trailer laboratory. The Acushnet Caravan will show the new Titleist in action at more than three hundred clubs, and numerous _ driving _ ranges thruoghout the country. So far it has been playing to "packed houses" at every stand. wipt It‘s accurate, too. Every chip shot rolls dead to the pinâ€"and in one test at the Columbus, Ohio. Country club the driving machine made a 428â€"yard holeâ€"inâ€"one. There‘s a record to shoot at, friends. Golfers who attend the Acushnet Caravan demonstration will see Acushnet golf balls smashed out at the rate of.60 a minute. But that‘s only half the story. In addition to the driving machine, they will see actual golf ball tests made by the guillotine, the comâ€" pression machine, and the Xâ€"ray fluoroscope. It‘s a great show, and will teach you a lot of things you ought to know about golf balls, but probably don‘t.
