Canvassing in Chile

By T. H. Davis

At the time of our annual meeting in Gorbea, it was voted to raise the prices on our books, and to sell them at fixed prices. It was also voted that each canvasser send a weekly report of his work to the field agent, and another to the secretary. Since then our workers have been having better success than ever before.
One worker in Concepcion took $180.50 worth of orders in seventy-two hours,—an average of over $2.40 an hour. Another brother is showing us how to take orders for the large books. In the city of Valparaiso his orders amounted to $1,048.50 in twenty-eight hours.
The writer had an encouraging experience in the slaughter-house in Santiago. While delivering six copies of “Patriarchs and Prophets,” for which I had orders, I took eight new orders, two of which were for full morocco, at $24 each Chilean currency.
