Retail Shoe Salesmanship
by George F. Hamilton, Frank Butterworth, H. T. Conner, A. H. Geuting
About the author
A. H. Geuting is a somewhat obscure figure today, but surviving records show a clear connection to the shoe trade. Project Gutenberg lists Geuting as an author connected with Retail Shoe Salesmanship, a manual first published in the early 1920s and written with George F. Hamilton, Frank Butterworth, and H. T. Conner.
The book is a hands-on guide to selling footwear well, covering topics like product knowledge, fitting, and customer service. That practical focus fits with other historical traces that link the name A. H. Geuting to a shoe company in Philadelphia and to retail business activity rather than to fiction or literary publishing.
Because biographical information is limited in the sources I could confirm, much of Geuting's personal life remains unclear. What does stand out is a role in documenting the working knowledge of American retail at a time when salesmanship was being taught as a serious professional skill.
