Selling The Customer Is Not Always Enough

There is the customer's customer still to be conriderd, if the dealer is to becom€ e ttrepeattt purchaser.'

The Dollar - Portland stock which we sell in California is the sort that brings in repeat orders from the dealer because the dealer finds that it always pleases his Customer.
