This series of department store manuals has been prepared for the purpose of imparting definite and authentic information to that growing army of sales people whoare not satisfied to be mere counter servers —to those who realize that their vocation is one of dignity and opportunity, and that to give satisfactory service to thecustomer they must possess a thorough knowledge of the goods they sell, as well as a knowledge of how best to sell them. These manuals were planned and prepared as the result of many months of teaching department store sales peoplein a number of large stores in New York and other cities. Later a series of courses for teachers of department store salesmanship was introduced into the curriculumof the School of Pedagogy of New York University.
