Why the Woman Shopper IS Needed

tired from few hours shopping, who re
fuse to go to shops, are handled by the
purchasing agent. For the store she is a
saleswoman on the commission basis OF a
discount on her bill, differing only from
the saleswoman employed by store in
that she does not receive the regular weekly
salary. If the salesgirl she is accustomed
to having wait upon her is busy, and her
client is in hurry, often the purchasing
agent will show goods. try on suits and
gowns and hats. and when the sale Is com
pleted call the salesgirl to make out the
slip-a service to both store and customer
The shopper who travels through the
summer, who takes a trip abroad and
meets more people and studies the people
to serve her clients and incidentally her
stores in which she has accounts. She will
find by being a good dresser, that her
clothes attract attention. A customer will
want bag the same style as hers, hat
similar to hers, gown OF much the same
style but another color--she can be
walking, living model of styles.
Miss II. b. Terbell, who has been in the
business for eight years. says that, though
she works any and sometimes almost all
of the twenty-four hours in a day, and
finds 1t almost impossible to have many
pleasures. the work is so fascinating that
she can throw her whole heart and soul in
1t and find great enjoyment, SO much SO
that she can understand why women love
business more than social and home life
Some of the professional shoppers have
Offices on Fifth avenue. others live at hotels
where their out OF town customers stop
when in the city, finding that they are
better able to serve their customers when
living so near them.

Kansas struck Leonard with the heel Of

a series of Kisses that sounded like the
snake chorus from "Cobra"-or isn't there
an opera by that name? At any rate, the
fans hissed their heads off-and that is
what we are driving at.

The store requires prompt payment, no

method requires capital to the extent of

But a customer cannot just be taken by

This is only one of the small trials of

women know little about shopping, little
about themselves. about their clothes, about
their likes and dislikes. and are as vague
and indefinite as the proverbial man.

wants a pair OF silk stockings to give as

she a mind reader? Hardly, but safety
lies in buying the most common sizes, mines

safest color-black. Another customer
who orders by letter, advises.

see from this that | am tall and slender"
But the purchasing agent could not see
that she was tall and slender, and even
a 3s size coat was too large for this woman
who knew so little about her size.
These are not few and far between cases,

THE ROWING CABARET.


TT was in tire repair shop on West
145th street that we first met Harry
Ashford Thompson, colored. Harry is
a journeyman dancer, musician and restau-
rateur. His selling method is unique. AS
he enters a store-daily he canvasses prac-
tically every shop in the neighborhood Of
145th street and Lenox avenue-he de-
posits his basket on the floor, removes a
tiny phonograph from under a heap of
frankfurters starts the phonograph, and,
while folks look on in admiration, does a
few jazzy jig steps to the accompaniment
of the canned music.
The number over, Harry picks up his
basket. cries "Frankfurters ger'men, raid
hot frankfurters!" and makes his rounds.
His sales are many. Even we-a typical
Horato Alger skinfint-were moved to
invest 35 cents in frankfurters, near beer
and crullers.
Incidentally, we interviewed Harry on
the subject of his unique selling method.
