KANSAS CITY, Mo.-If you can
please a woman
That's all you need, to succeed
in the business world, says Mrs.
Georgia Stone, who has cashed in
on her knowledge of feminine Ssy-
chology.
Mrs. Stone used TO wear out shoe
leather doing suffrage work for
nothing in Warransburg. Mo.
Ten months ago, she came to Kan
sas City and took her fling in the
business world as manager of an
apartment.
Now size manages 20 big apart
ment buildings in Kansas City and
personally looks after about 500
families.
Her income this year probably will
reach five figures.
Curtains Did Is
A pair of blue and white checked
Bingham curtains was Mrs. Stones
stepping stone to success.
Her first job was to fill a high
priced apartment building at q time
when everyone was lambasting land
lords.
She Immediately fitted up a model
furnished apartment in the building,
She had the kitchen painted white
and put checked Bingham curtains
at the windows.
Its bad psychology to take wo-
men tenants into bare apartments
she said.
Husbands Signed
what perfectly darling curtains!'
exclaimed all the women who visited
the apartment, Mrs. Stone offered
to provide similar ones to renters.
Every woman's husband signed on
tho dotted line.
Now landlords importune Mrs.
Stone to rent their apartments for
them.
Its the little things that win the
women" she says. "And as they do
80 per cent of the buying and 100
per cent of the deciding, it's a pretty
good plan to please them"
and then with forced reserve:
There's nothing the matter with
my nerves. and in spite of my scars
/ can still hear! Talk on-Jimmy!''
you're a brave girl, May!"
There vas a long pause. 1 let the
minutes drag. 1t was Dicks turn
