Consumers Aid
In Sales Drive

B. l.. Hamburger, manager of the
Sears, Roebuck store in Ell Centre,
met Tuesday with consumers
committee composed of the heads
of various Imperial Valley organi-
cations, to review plans for the
stores fifty second anniversary
sale.
The committee was composed Of
Mrs Ropert w. Ware, president OF
the Women's Ten Thousand club:
Mrs. A. B. Hanson, of the P.-T.A.:
Mrs. Roy T. Shaw of the inland
Woman's club; Mrs. Merta Thomp-
son, president of the Ell Centro
Business and Professional Women's
club; and o. G. LaWton of the
California Chain Store association.
Hamburger entertained them at
luncheon at the Barbara Worth
hotel.
Hamburger originated the consul
mers committee plan with the idea
of furthering cooperation between
buyer and store.
'Most people who shop at a store
regularly have some pretty definite
ideas as to how that store might
improve its merchandise line and
better its SERVICE" Hamburger said,
unfortunately it is impossible for
any store to discuss these things
with all of its customers. So this
year we have decided to invite a
group of valley people to assist
in our sales planning and hope to
continue this consumers coopera-
tive plan throughout the year. We
feel that we would like our GUS
toners to tell us the type of store,
type of service and the type of
sales promotion that they want"

confident this and other frontier in
cidents could be settled by negotia-
ton
Japanese and Manchukuo spokes-
men declared other conflicts on the

Manchuli, on the Western Manchu-
kuo-Siberian frontier, were purely To-
cal affairs and would be settled by
local authorities.
Poor Natural Boundary.
A japanese Army officer, consid-
cred an expert on frontier affairs,
said Japan and Manchukuo-her pro-
tectorate-Were ready to consider fix
ing a natural boundary" for the
Changfukeng area
Dispute over that hilly region, near
the point where the boundaries of
Manchukuo. Siberia and Korea meet

Manchukuo protested the occupa-
