“Put yourself in his place” is an excellent guide to practice. A clerk who considers what qualities and qualifications he would like in employees were he, himself, an employer of men, and governs his conduct accordingly, will not stray far from the right course. An employer who can, in fancy, put himself behind the counter and view himself from the clerk’s standpoint, will be vastly wiser and more successful in his management, and customers who can imagine themselves in the salesman’s place, and can comprehend the thousand and one trials they are subjected to by careless and indifferent humanity, will, if they choose, be able to save both themselves and the clerks an infinite amount of wear and tear of nerve force, and at the same time, receive vastly more satisfactory service.

We would call the attention of druggists to the advertisement of Major’s Cement in our advertising columns.

Major, 232 William St., New York, mentioning the CANADIAN DRUGGIST, for prices and terms.
