Bing Crosby Offers Cup to Low Gross Scorer First Five Awarded Institute Certiftcates in California Open Golf Tournaments

To R. L. Akerman, manager of the Spahn and Rose Lumber Company, Garber, fowa, goes the privilege of prominently displaying the Number One certificate of completion of the Tested Selling Methods program conducted under the auspices of the Merchandising Institute of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Inc. With its dispatch to Mr. Akerman, the "Commencement" parade for men enrolled in Tested Selling Methods is on.

Next in line to Mr. Akerman in the completiori of the course are the following individuals, making up the first five to earn their certificates:

Harry R. Potter, salesman, DeForest and Hotchkiss Co., New lfaven, Conn.

Francis W. Delyea, yard manager, Thompson Yards, Inc., Clara City, Minn.

W. W. Munroe, salesman, Wood Conversion Co., St. l,ouis, Mo.

A. A. Haniford, Housing Guild Division, Johns-Manville Co., New York, New York.

Each day more names of progressive lumber and building rnaterial men are being added to this ever growing list. The Commencement season of Tested Selling Methods will continue throughout the year and through many years to come, until every dealer and his employee who know that they can improve their selling through the study of Tested Selling Methods have enrolled for this industry program and have completed it.

Organizations with a large number of employees are making special provisions of their own to award the Certificates of Completion with due ceremony. But even in these larger organizations, "Commencement" will go on because employees newly hired are constantly being enrollec.

Here is Bing Crosby, noted screen and radio star, with the beautiful trophy he is offering to the low gross scorer in the open golf tournaments in California this winter. Bing is proud of the cup, and proud, too, are those who shaped it from California materials. The trophy is of solid silver mined in the "Golden State," has clusters of grapes typical of California's famous agricultural crop, and is mounted on a handsome base of a highly polished Redrvood burl, the colorings of lvhich set off the cu,p in regal style.
