LADIES

Another way OF making a little money at
home by the woman who for some reason
cannot leave home. is to convert a room in
her residence having a front or side emf
trance, into a Ladies' Exchange. To thi9
end she asks friends and acquaintance to-
prepare such articles as she can sell to
others, who are willing to purchase home
made food at a fair price.
Homemade bread. cakes, cookies, pies.
pressed meats, salads, croquettes, baked
beans, candies, butter and eggs, and other
articles too numerous to mention find a
ready sale. ~
1t Is customary to charge each consignor
one dollar a year for the privilege Of con-
signing articles to the exchange and to de-
duct ten per cent from all sales, also five
cents from each cOnsignOr weekly to as
sist In paying current expenses such as
rent, light and Ice. Let each consignor ac-
company each article sent with a ticket
bearing the name, date. and name and price
OF article, to be filed by the owner Of the ex-
change for one week, and regularly pay for
such articles sold, deducting her commits
sion and rent fee. Be sure to return UNI
