Techwhirlers,
I recently found the following remarkable words from Abraham J.
Hamilton on a website:
"The explaining of products to somebody, showing how they can benefit
their users, and doing this in the most effective way with the
appropriate means, this is art."
These words are dated 1870. Does anybody know something about Abraham
J. Hamilton? I did a web search, but to no avail.
Regards,
Gunther Schmidt
P.S.: I've asked the webmaster of the site where I found these words,
but I'm still waiting for a reply.
