Center of attraction at an Indiana meeting on Tested Selling Methods last week was Harold D. Campbell, who brought to Indiana Lumber and Builders Supply Association the distinction of putting through the twenty-fifth hundred enrollment for the Merchandising Institute's sales development program.- Mr. Campbell's enrollment lvas entered early in June-one of more than thirty men enrolled by the Wilkinson Company, Inc. of' Indianapolis, Indiana.

Roland W. Slagle, Secretary of the Indiana Association, says, "Arizona got the honor of putting through enrollment number one, but we are glad as we approach the trvo hundred mark in enrollments from Indiana to record enrollment number 250O from our Association.

"Harold D. Campbell, agent of the Sullivan, Indiana branch of the Wilkinson Company, Inc., the local branch being known as the Allen A. Wilkinson Lumber Co., has completed his nineteenth year of service, having started with the company February 2, Ign as a yard man unloading cars, stacking lumber, and familiarizing himself with the stock. Before a year was up, he was advanced and placed in the office as Order and Estimating Clerk. On July l, 1923, he became manager of the yard in Sullivan, and has served in that capacity since that time.

"Mr. Campbell attended college in Franklin, Indiana, and was engaged in farming prior to coming with Wilkinson.

"When questioned as to his opinion of Tested Selling Methods, he stated, 'I think this is the most practical course ever offered to anyone engaged in selli,ng. Regardless of how long anyone has been engaged in selling, this course will be well worth the time and cost.'

"Paralleling Mr. Campbell's comment in enthusiasm, are comments we are getting from all association members who are enrolled. The further they get into the program, the more we hear of sales closed at fair prices through the use of Tested Selling Methods."
