Markets for Handmade Articles

"Where can, I sell a lovely cro-
cheted bedspread?"
Il do fine needlework. Do you
know where I can find a market
for my work."
where can find an outlet for
good ceramic pieces?"
Constant arrivals at the wom-
ems page are letters requesting
this information. Where, indeed,
can needleworkers and craftsmen
sell their wares and how are they
to 60 about it on businesslike
basis?
To find the answers to these
questions we spoke with Mrs.
Pauline B. Winn, who opened The
Cottage Gift Shop" in her home in
East Falls Church last March. To
our knowledge, this is the only
shop specializing in the sale of
this type of work in the vicinity.
Mrs. Winn, who turns out hand
mades herself, has come to many
conclusions about the marketing
of these items, and passed them
along to us.
II. you are handy with needle,
she declared, contact some one
who has been selling handmade
items to the public and find out
what sort of thing people are in

public want this?" is the first
question every woman should ask
herself. Frequently she has found
that people who sit down and cro-
chet or knit feel that their. work

experience, when anything over

In gift shop"
Bedspreads and tablecloths are
a drug on the market. Small, use
full handmades -" Aprons" for
cola bottles, soakers, gloves, cro-
cheted soap holders - stand a
much better chance of selling.
Originality will be an asset, too,
in producing items that will Gre
ate a demand for themselves. And
specialize, Mrs. Winn adds. Spe-
cialization will help you turn out
your product quickly and eff
GENTLY.
Find out, too, about the area
where you plan to sell your work.
For example. handhemmed or
CANDY cocktail napkins are lovely,
indeed. But in a locality where
such items would be sheer luxury
they will never leave the shelf.
Another thing to remember is
that the popularity of these
things is seasonal. Around tradi-

mas, graduation-the demand in
creaseS.
Items in The Cottage Gift Shop
are sold on consignment basis,
with the shop receiving 20 per
cent of the sale. If items are not
sold after four months in the
shop, they are returned to the
owner. It's impossible to keep
them any longer and still have
them retain their freshness, Mrs.
Winn declares.
For further hints, Mrs. Winn
refers makers of handmade items
to an article by Evelyn Stewart,
You Can Sell That" in last sum-
mer's edition Of McCall's Needle
work magazine. Miss Stewart
started with felt bean bags, and
now has q line of toys and dolls
which, she declares, "sen faster
than I can make them-at least
at Christmas" Miss Stewards ar

entirety.
First" she declares. choose a
product-just one-that yo u

must make something better than
any machine can make, or some
thing too difficult for a machine. ~
She cites hand knitting, dolls and
doll clothes, crocheted items and
needlepoint. as things that are su-
perior when done by hand.
To price your product correctly
time yourself when making it, she
declares. Fifty cents an hour is
about what most homework comes
to-" she feels. Also, figure the cost
OF your materials accurately, in
cluding paper, twine and wrap
pings that may be necessary for
mailing.
Talk your product up among
your friends. and advertise in
hobby magazines and newspapers,
finding the medium that best
reaches your potential public.
Place your items in shops, and
do not hesitate to leave them on
consignment. "You can always
take them back at any time" is
her philosophy, "and this is the
best way to learn which things
sell best" Your own retail price
to customers in the same area
should be the same as the stores.
you can't lose by reducing your
price to the stores" Miss Stewart
declares, because one good steady

would be possible If you do only

An Adventure in Dining Will Long Remember

back in those plush days when

brick that went into the building
was imported from Belgium, and
each one was wrapped separately
in straw, as they do rare bottles
of wine. The massive carved oak

the men in our Office told me to
be sure to make a point of going
there. After a week of sumptuous
dining on the best food the chefs
In Chicago had to offer, the idea
of still another lavish meal was
not too enticing. But go I did,
