Nlunger has the advantage of having had military
discipline during his earlier life. This training has given
him an orderliness and manliness which the average
young business man does not possess. Coming from the
"Automobile City" and with his father actively associated
with a major automobik concern there, Munger,
too, has centered hisintf'rests on finding employment
with some large industrial distributive firm. He
entered Babson Institutt> aftt>r several years' educational
training at Denison University.
PRACTICAL TRA1~ING
Many firms today seek young men, who havt' had
practical business training combined with previous
employment experience, for their training programs.
Munger possesses both of these requirements. He has
focused his academic attention at Babson Institute
primarily on practical Distribution problems. Two summers
were occupied in the employ of the Detroit Edison
Company Sales Department. There, he came: into personal
contall with the company's many customers by
selling various electrical household appliances, handling
commercial and residential applications for electric service,
and qualifying credit extensions.
THE BUSINESS MAN
Munger is alert, tactful, and well-mannered. His
seriousness and personablr bearing make him the ideal
type for (,ontacting industrial concerns. Businesslike,
with an air of confidence, and an earnest and pleasant
manner, Munger presents sales arguments logically
and convincingly. There are numerous industrial sales
organizations combing the country today for a " man or
these characteristics.
