You now know as much about the basic principles of remembering names and faces as any person alive today. You have it all at your finger tips—all that remains is practice.

You've learned the four rules and know the general principle of being name-conscious. Now to practice applying them. In much the same way as we went over Mr. Byrd's photograph a couple of chapters ago, we shall now meet the pictures of fifteen people and see how many more we can remember by applying the rules we have just learned. Every one of the four rules will not be called into use in each case, for often one or two are sufficient to make the name tie up with the face.

Most of the associations will seem grotesque, farfetched, or downright silly, but by this time you realize that it is the extraordinary, striking association that remains longest in the mind and is easiest to recall. And as you read my suggestions for remembering, try to think of some angles of your own, for in a coming chapter you will be on your own and will have to practice the principles I have taught you without props.

Mr. Price

This is Mr. Price, a very distinguished gentleman. He has paid the price of hard work to become president of his company. Mr. Price seems to be well to do; he has the price. Notice his regular features, his keen, kindly eyes, his luxuriant white hair and mustache. Perhaps Rule Two will help most in remembering Mr. Price: repeat his name several times while you sludy his face.
