involved the advertising of a set of
reference books selling for several
hundred dollars a set, and direct
ing a sales force of 80 statesmen to
follow up the written requests for
booklets describing the set. Many
Of these inquiries came from chill
dren who could not buy and were
therefore constant cause of an
noyance and wasted effort.
In the midst of his scoffing at the
restaurant advertisement that car
ried no telephone number, he sud-
denly realized that his own adver-
tisements, circulars and letters did
not feature the telephone number Of
his own local office. It was inn
mediately added to his advertising.
He discovered that telephone in
quiries about the reference books
came only from interested people
and resulted in high percentage
Of sales. He also found that all
though children may write for book
let's they do not telephone for them.
"A cause of wasted effort and ex-
pense was thus eliminated by fea-
turing the telephone number.

Red Shoes Novel
Touch at Resorts

II you would keep tab on coming
events that least their shadows be-
FORE" watch the style parade that
is travelling the highways and
beaches in southern sun-bright re-
sorts. One thing your amazed eyes
will see is red shoes. They are be-
ing worn with all types of costumes.
Worn with Stacks they add most
zestful novelty touch. Look too clev-
er for words with simple little ging-
ham dresses, in fact with any type
Of casual daytime frocks, also good
looking with white afternoon dresses
and tailleurs.
Now comes the sequence of this
fashion story. AS everybody knows,
what's worn at the southern resorts
in midwinter sets precedent for
spring and summer fashions to
come. Wherefore, the message that
red shoes will be worn with tailored
beige or navy street costumes has
already winged its way northward.
So if you crave fashion thrills, buy
a pair of red shoes.

Per example the gown to the right
says it with ''style" definitely. This
peplum dress is figure-fitting and
fiattering. The brocade that fash.
ions it is in a violet-leaf motif
damask-woven patterning. A self
fabric bow at the belt and the high
neck closing is the only ornamen-
tation, for material such as this
handsome brocade exemplifies the
thought that ''beauty unadorned is
adorned the most"
Conferred in the picture is one OF
the seasons bestowed fashions
the princess silhouette that is art
fully fitted at the waistline with
the skirt that is gently aared. A
flower-patterned damask of benz
berg rayon is used for this model.
To the left a figure-molding after
noon dress in a richly brocaded bal
let dancing patterning holds forth
in the illustration. The high-necked
bodice is enhanced with large old
fashioned brooch.
Designers are making varied uses
Of brocade. Milliners welcome this
new damask-woven material as per-
feet for the very stylish draped
turbans for which everybody is call
ing. These bright colorful bits of
headwear are charming with winter
furs.
Add handbag of the same bro
cade and the ensemble will prove
a delight to the eye. One even
sees shoes made of brocade, like
wise scarfs and belts.
The jacket suit made of the neat
necktie-patterned brocade will be
featured later on in the spring,
its charm accented with the pretti-
ness of blouse of the daintiest
lace-trimmed lingerie type.

Word Cigar Derived
From Spanish Garden

How did the words cigar and Gig
arctic get into the language? It
seems to be another old Spanish
custom.
When tobacco was still a novelty
the acme of hospitality was for
host to offer guests small rolls OF
homegrown tobacco for smoking,
usually with the explanation "Es
de mi cigarrar' tit is from my
garden). The word "cigarra"
means an orchard or fruit garden.
Strangers to the Spanish language
came to regard the word 'cigarrar"
as describing the gift rather than
its place of origin. The word was
soon shortened to "cigarro'' and
finally to the English cigar" The
word cigarette means. literally. .

a florists shop-in fact, any enter
prise that deals with the general
public may have buried in it an
interesting and appealing story that
properly told would increase sales.
Routine often keeps the very men
responsible for its existence from
approaching its virtues.
It has been frequently observed
that newspaper men and novelists
who write most interestingly about
the city are usually from the coun-
try. To their fresh point of view
routine things become novel and
vivid. Like the advertising man
they have the outside point of view.

Ads, Telephone
Make Excellent
Sales Combine
By GEORGE T. EAGER

THE essence of good sales
Il manship is to make it easy
for customers to buy. But de-
spite the fact that the number
of telephone calls made each
day exceeds the number of let
tiers written each day, many
business men who advertise
their goods or services, fail to
list their telephone number in
advertisements, circulars and
letters.
A few days before last New
Years day the sales manag-
err of an important book publishing
company noticed large display adj
vertisement of restaurant in the
local newspaper of small town in
Pennsylvania. Although most of the
space was used to urge customers
to telephone their reservations for
New Years Eve, the restaurant
failed to publish the very telephone

IL executive must necessarily
devote a great deal of thought
and attention to his business.
He is generally thinking about
it most of the time. But this
intense interest leads him to
see his business from the inside

side point of view. He is like

Sleeve lengths grow capricious.
The type most called for and one
new in the field today is the bracelet
length sleeve. The dress pictured
is so sleeved. Another feature in
current styling is that dresses are
subtly designed to achieve "lines"
that take inches off the strategic
points so as to slim the figure ac-
cording to fashions way of think
ing. Details that accomplish this
feat in the gown pictured are wide
shoulders so as to make the waist
line look smaller in comparison,
darts above the waistline to accent
the new ''nipped i'm look, and
smoothness around the hips. Sou
tache scrolls trim this frock which

The famous Brighton Belle pulled
out of Hollywood the other day for
scenes in that same picture. The
station, however, was a replica of
the famous Victoria station, the
train was a replica of the Brighton
Belle, which covers the 81 miles be-
tween London and Brighton in 40
minutes, and the men who filed it
were extras, not British Tommies.
But to many who watched, the
atmosphere was the same as it

not shoot the scene in London be-
