a considerable number of changes

move on Mr. Pfafflin's part has occasioned
considerable comment among the salesmen.
Mr. Pfafflin is a clean-cut, forceful man,
who has won a high reputation in his par-

welcome his return among them.

been through him during all that time,
giving the dates with the utmost accuracy,
without once referring to his book. It is
no wonder that Mr. Brooks has made such
a success. Now, however, he has included

Fred. W. Primer, Geo. P. Bent's travel-
er, has won the medal this year as the long-
distance man. He has covered everything
from Central America to the Northwest,
closed some very clever agencies in Eu-
rope, where he made a flying trip as
well, and now he will soon be off on an-
other Spanish-American jaunt.
