Page 2 Uncle Sam Is My Partner One of my favorite teachers, Highland Park High‘s popular Ted Burwell, asked me to give a speech to a group of young men about the mail order busiâ€" ness. â€"_Purpoee of the speech is to tell these future leadâ€" ers the techniques necessary to sell merchandise by a business when they are graduated. | Lenthouse 1hneatt I think I‘ll start by telling the young men that Signs Film Star Uncle Sam will be their close partner if they want to For Leading Man sell by mail: ... â€"_.â€" â€"__ |, Tenthouse Theatre ; To folks in mail order our government assigns over 100,000 salesmenâ€"the mailmen of America. 43,â€" 000 postmasters. Thousands of miles of railroad tracks. Hundreds of locomotives. Fleets of mail trucks. And America‘s finest airplanes. _ _ s Mail goes everywhere. The postal department is one of our government‘s best. The mail must go through. And America‘s postâ€" men deliver the goods. These are the conscientious men working for you, I‘ll tell the teenâ€" _ All of these men and these machines join to help the man in the mail order business. AN IMPORTANT BUSINESS Luckily, Highland Park isn‘t like most other towns across the naâ€" tion, I‘ll tell the students, and therefore it‘s easy for Highland Parkers to shop locally, to buy locally, to get the merchandise they want from our fine merchâ€" ants. But thousands of towns don‘t have as fine a group of stores as Highland Park. And therefore people in these towns can‘t get the necessities and luxuries of life. Locally, that is. But they can, I‘ll point out, if they buy by mail. EASY, SPEEDY WAY TO SHOP To help these millions of people have what they need for daily living, the mail order firms of America ~play an â€" indigpensable part. In addition to getting them these necessities, the ‘mail order firms s%;'ir customers" time and â€" money letting the mails carry the order and the purchase to and from their doorstep. Yes, I‘ll tell these young men, the best way to shop is the easy, economical way, by mail, the armâ€" chair way. ALL_KINDS OF WORK The young men will ask what kinds of work are in the mail orâ€" der field. All kinds, I‘ll show themâ€"cleriâ€" cal, â€" production, â€" merchandising, purchasing, advertising, executive. And, because these young men will be our leaders and our future executives, they should improve their minds, broaden their visions, stimulate their imaginations. And they‘ll need to do each of] these if they want to be leaders in the mail order field, in my opin-\ iorl. PERSONAL QUALIFICATIONS . ways as fication have. publication must be written From my study of leaders in the mail order field, Td say these are the qualifications: Good health. An alert mind made sharp by a great deal of reading. A pleasant, helpful, coâ€" operative approach to life. Having faith in folks. Believing in the Golden Rule and, gencrally, sayâ€" ing yes to Life. SPECIAL TRAINING . . . THE HIGHLAND PARK PRESS Special training needed for the mail order field? A college education with inâ€" Entered as second class matter March 1, 1911, at the Post Office at Highland Park, Illinois. Illinois, Now, one of the questions alâ€" ys asked is what personal qualiâ€" ations must a suceessful man Subscription rates: $1.50 per ar; 5 cents per single copy. $3.00 Also to point out the advantages of entering such outside of Lake County, (SPECIAL TO THE HWIGHLAND PARK PRESS) WHITT NORTHMORE SCHULTZ LET‘S TAKE A LOOK tensive work: in the ‘commerce, speech and . journalism â€" schools. Northwestern University is a highâ€" ly recommended training school, I‘ll tell the young men. It‘d be wise, too, for them to have selling experience altho sellâ€" ing by mail is a lot harder than personal selling. But, if they‘re capable and alert and industrious they‘ll be earning twice, perhaps three times, that amount in their 10th year in the business. INCOME? ... Income the young man will in mail order will be strictly them. They‘d better not plan on ing more than $100 per after five years in the mail business. If they‘d go into the mail order business for themselves it‘s conâ€" ceivable they‘d be earning $10,â€" 000 per year after three years. «1 know one man, I‘d, tell them, who is a millionaire now. Ten years ago he started in the mail order business with just $10. He employs 900 people now, CONCLUSION .. Because so many young men are interested in this comparatively new way of merchandising, selling by mail, ‘ll conclude the speech by telling them what a fascinating business it is. How it helps their fellow man by helping him to save his time and money. I‘ll explain the mail order busiâ€" ness is interesting and rewardâ€" ing. It requires good health, and an alert, active mind. And, finally, mail selling reâ€" quires college training, in my opinâ€" ion, with major work in commerce, speech and journalism. PARTING THOUGHT ...
