DEPARTMENT STORES OFFER
STEADY CAREER FOR GIRLS
Excellent Chances of Advancement to Well Paid Positions
for Industrious and Intelligent Persons
By LAURA A. SMITH

question asked the girl applying for
position as clerk is; What expert
ence have you had?' Therefore, If
you live in small town ard have
ambitions toward going to larger
city, | advise You to work in your
home shops for few weeks or
months, so that you may truthfully
say you have had experience. Clerk
ing in a small general store is fine
experience, for you are not confined
to one counter, but learn many diff
ferent kinds of goods and prices. In
a country store you come into closer
touch with your employer, are called
into consultation when he deals with
buyers, and thus you increase your
own knowledge of buying, ordering,
Judging materials and what good
store needs in the way of variety. Be-
cause you have this general knowl-
edge you may advance more quickly
in the city. You can fill vacancy in
any department better than the girl
trained to sell just one kind of goods.
Your experience will stand you in
GOOD stead, too, if the time arrives
when you can set up your own little
shop.
In your own town you come in con-
tact with a different type OF custom
ers from those in the large cities.
The persons who come to you are not
professional shoppers, but friends
who have faith in your judgment and
who ask you to decide for Them Thus
you learn to "size-up" customers and
study how to please them. Merchants

these the least one can say is that the
high standard of education in California
is due to Mrs. Hearst and Mrs. Leland

exist without Mrs. Hearst, although it

their clerks to sell the old stock be-

The life of u girl clerk In smaller

daily visiting with friends who come

are her relatives and friends, she en-
joys more social life in the evenings

Because the girl in the small town
| knows her customers personal affairs,
it is difficult for her not to bring per-
sonal likes and dislikes into her work
She needs must make new friends
and forgive old enemies, lest they
take their spite out on her and buy
