indeed fine spirit.
CHARM MUSIC CABINET
CONVERTS OLD IN TO
NEW
An established company of­
fers music operators a new
product aptly called “Charm
Music,” and merchandised un­
der the firm name of Charm
Music Cabinet Company. This
firm is the offspring of the sales
division of a company long
established in the manufactur­
ing of cabinets for the coin ma­
chine industry.
“Already a welcome trade
name to the ears of operators,
Charm Music will represent to
them the opportunity of convert­
ing antiquated music equipment
into glamorous, profit producing
instruments at economical cost,”
an official of the company
stated.
“The first unit of the Charm
Music Cabinet Company line to
be produced is a beautifully
created lite-up cabinet, of a size
t h a t will accommodate any
mechanism from an old phono­
graph. This cabinet incorpo­
rates such features as maximum
illumination, accoustically built
sound chamber, and imposing
height. It is finished in the
ultra- modern manner, and spe­
cially styled to fit in with the
surroundings of the most elite
location.”
Offices and display room of
the Charm Music Cabinet are
located at 155 North Clark St.,
Chicago, being across the street
from the Hotel Sherman, a con­
venience to out-of-town visitors.

think I was taking much of a
chance with this boy. He’s got
one quality which is absolutely ’
essential in a salesman.”
“That quality is what?”
“He’s a good expecter.”
“Say it over again in English.”
“Why, it’s as simple as ABC.
He expects success, not failure.
In everything he does he expects
success. So far as I can tell he
hasn’t a negative thought in his
head. When he was just green
with us, he’d come to me with a
suggestion— and I could tell by
his manner that he didn’t expect
me to turn him down. He radi­
ated positiveness.”
“I see now.”
“He must do the same thing
with his prospects,” said the
business man. “When he talks
to them, believe me there’s no
doubt in his mind about their
placing an order. He knows
they will before he calls. He has
the expectation of success. Such
a man cannot fail.”

We were talking, the head of
a large Western firm and I,
about a youngster in whom he
had confidence. Three months
before, after a short apprentice­
ship inside, he had put this lad
out on a sales job. Records had
fallen. Even the older men had
to admit the boy had the mak­
ings of a great salesman.
“You must be a good picker
of men,” I remarked. “What
rating system do you have? How
do you isolate the instinct to sell,
and tell when a man has it?”
“I ’m a poor picker of men,”
he told me. “I ’ve been wrong
oftener than right, but I didn’t
