The Young Preocher's Mission

Preacher stories come and preacher stories go, but none of them is ever any better than that grand old one about the young preacher and his first sermon.

He was a recent graduate, had received his call to preach and rose before his congregation to deliver his first real sermon. He had worked hard and laboriously on it, and determined to start off with a bang, having learned that the two most important parts of any address are a good start and a good finish. So he began:

"My dear friends, in accepting this pastorate, I do so with a deep sense of the obligations that rest upon a minister of God, even in this too-modern age. I came to this congregation to do my best to follow in the footsteps of the Master, my mission being, so far as I am able, to heal the dead, to cast out the sick and to raise the devil."

Masonite Corporation's Design-Service-Counsel (D.S.C.) program was discussed by Paul B. Shoemaker, executive vice-president, at a panel session devoted to "Building Sales Through Sales Promotion" at the ninth annual marketing conference of the National Industrial Conference Board in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City Sept. 21.

In developing his topic, "Coordinating Sales Promotion with Other Marketing Activities," Shoemaker brought out how Masonite, through the application of marketing principles, is helping make Design-Service-Counsel a successful vehicle for lumber dealers to capture their share of the home improvement business.

and it provides answers to the consumer's question, 'What will this do for ME?' It has strong customer interest, as well, for the D.S.C. dealer is right in the picture by name and location"'

He said that D.S.C. has order-profit performance because it gives the salesman vital support in terms of full line selling.

Since orderly distribution in most any segment of the business community is 'hard to come by' nowadays," he declared, "a marketing plan that provides a retailer with a 'built-in' sales control at the point of sale gives him and his supplier a brighter earnings potential than one that opens the sale at an auction level. Profitable marketing action takes place."
