Sales History Museum Virtual Tour – Part Three

Today’s episode takes you through some books on business building

  • The Business Guide from 1886
  • Arthur Sheldon’s 16-book correspondence program from 1911
  • Keeping The Salesman Fit from 1926
  • The Modern Business Collection from Ferris, 1930
  • A hand signed letter from Lucinca W. Prince, the pioneer for women in sales, from 1926

I collect books, magazines, and all sorts of other collectibles and artifacts from sales history’s past. Books from the 1880s. Magazines on sales and sales leadership from as early as 1903, joke books for traveling salespeople to use on their customers from the 1890s, letters written by the pioneers from the 1920s, fully restored telephones from 1908 and 1921, and so much more. #historyofsales #saleshistory
