PERTINENT POINTS FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

No. A (Contributed.) The Shop Assistant Always get to work about half an hour late the boss likes it. Let the first customer wait half an hour; nobody in Pukekohe is ever in a hurry or if they are they shouldn't be. If any male customer comes in always ask them when are they going to the war—it's nice to take an interest in others. Make yourself popular with the customers, give them plenty of overweight; it will please the boss and please the customer. Never lose an opportunity of finding out as much as you can of other people's • business—it's so interesting to other people. If you are busy discussing bowls, tennis or racing with the other assistants let the customers wait or go somewhere else. There are plenty more shops. Be sure and let everybody know that you are only here till you get another job and that if you had the running of the show things wou'd be different. After wcrking hours always call on some other business man and tell him about your boss's business—you can do what yon like in your own time.
