MacDonald regularly sends cards to the home showing the salesman's standing in a current company contest, gives wives tags to hang on furniture around the house to remind their husbands of the furnishings they can earn. Some firms have even sent buzzers and shrill whistles to a salesman's children; when dad asks what the noise is all about, the kids are instructed to tell him it's only a reminder to straighten up and sell harder.
