UNUSUAL SUCCESS
OF UNUSUAL
WOMAN

The s'Sassy Jane' drive or campaign
or whatever is proper to call last night s
event at the Palace theater and the
Varney Bros. sale which is part of it,
is in many ways matter of extraord-
mary interest. In saying this the re-
mark is directed to the men rather than
to the women. The quality of the "Sas-
sy Jane' frock is something for the
women to appraise and they apparently
set high estimate upon it; but as an
industrial success and a sales success
and an advertising success, Miss June
Rand exhibition is something for the
especial consideration Of the man of af
fairs.
The outstanding facts are that as a
result of the campaign Varney Bros.
practically cleaned out their stock of
the Sassy Jane garment and today were
selling from samples for future delivery
and the Palace theater was not able to
seat nor contain the people who came
to see the 'Sassy Janeo exhibition.
Here are lessons in success which may
engage the attention of the wisest cap
tain of industry.
Miss Rand is in the city herself and
paid the Press the compliment of call.
She has an engaging personality which
can no doubt be matched by number
less other women; but there is added
to this human dynamo quality which
is not so easy to match. 1t requires
something more than vision to achieve
this Sassy jane accomplishment. 1t
demands genius for organization, inven-
tion and tireless energy. These Miss
Rand possesses-plus. And with them
is conscience-an evident purpose to
give the public a square deal. The
combination fills the Palace and sells
out the great Varney Bros. store.
