Abstract

High-Pressure Church-Work.

There is a very significant article in the New Republic of June 10, 1931, the gist of which is reproduced in the August, 1931, number of the Readers Digest. Its general line of thought is that of a similar article on porch-climbers in the Forum of April, 1931. Both articles speak at some length and with considerable frankness of high-powered salesmanship and of modern selling methods in general. And their conclusions are not at all favorable to this form of selling, with all the machinery that has been assembled to serve the end of this high-pressure salesmanship, which in its present form is a product of the world war.
