TELLS BUSY SHOPPERS
ITO BE THEMSELVES

BUSY Shopper, be yourself Treat
the stranger in the store as you
would the stranger coming to your
home" is the recommendation of
Miss Iva Sell of the division of home
economics at University Farm, st.
Paul, for alleviating the distress and
inconvenience of shoppers at busy
seasons as accompany winter clear
ance sales. collectively, shoppers
are often discourteous, although the
individuals making up the mob are
not" Miss Sell says.
She suggests the following pointers
for shoppers who wish to make
things just little pleasanter both
for themselves and for others:
First, stay by your own salesper-
son once you have found one who ap-
preciates your needs, your personal
ity and your financial status. Such
salespeople can make shopping very
easy for you. Be frank and honest
with them as to what you really
want and what type of investment
you feel you are able to make. Tell
them the price you wish to pay for
an item.
Second, before going to the store,
make list of the items to be pur-
chased. Do not waste time and ner-
vous effort in trying to recall what
it was you wanted when you get to
the store or by making several trips
when you might do it all in one.
Third, during particularly busy
sale seasons do not expect undue
personal favors from salespeople.
Fourth, carry your small parcels.
Eventually you will reduce the out
lay you have to make.
Fifth, sale charges are more easily
made if you have a card with your
name and address clearly printed on
it. No longer will you need to 'spell
it out" every place you go.
