' ' May We Serve Ton, T leased Teaching salesmanship and merchandising in Abraham Lincoln High .school with sjjccial emphasis placed on training senior high school .students to he better buyers is the task of J. R. , nderson. The first semester in .salesmanship is a general in- formation course o])en to all .students. If students are better acquainted with .salesmanship, making ])urchases for them.selves would not only prove to be much less difficult but more i)rofital)le. The talks that are given every Friday by Des Moines business men have been interesting and inspiring. These speakers discuss their problems as well as personal benefit ex])erienced through the selling of insurance, ad- vertising s])ace, and many other such commodities in business. The merchandising course is given to train senior high school students to better fill retail selling i)ositions. This subject is taught in the second semester. Talks are also given in this course. Many i ractical demonstrations are brought before the class, to acquaint the students with the correct method of handling mer- chandise and the ability to determine what constitutes quality. In order to note the work of different .sales ])eople, various trips are taken. Some members of the class have the privilege of interviewing prominent busi- ness men and women, and later these inii)ils make re- ])orts to the class on their trij)s and interviews. J. K. . ' nderson s])ends his .Saturdays working at ' ounker Brothers department .store in Des Moines in order to bring to his class valuable information.
