Women Buying 'Sack Look'
Dresses, Giving Northwest
Business Shot In The Arm
By ELMER C. VOGIL
SEATTLE I So you don't
like the chemise or sark look?
Well, we're not too fond of It,
either, nd the lime i true of a
lot of women, department (tore
ownen say. But the women ARE
buying it and it ia being credited
with giving Pacific Northwest re
tail trade a much needed shot in
the arm this pre Easter season.
Department itore sales, con
trary to a national trend, have
been holding at or about at last
year'a level. Most sales manag
era are bowing with thanks in the
direction of dame fashion.
Some of the improved samples
have resulted from modification!
of the original chemise styles,
ayi the manager of one large Se
attle department store.
"Those designera who utayed at
their drawing boards this winter
instead of lolligagging off to Flor
id i for a vacation are the ones
who put the style on ita economic
feet," he aaid.
"They made those slight altera
tions demanded by style and body
conscious women, giving line and
design where it was needed and
taking aome of the monotony out
of that long, unbroken drop from
shoulder to hemline."
Another aaid, "A lot of women
come in to look at the chemise,
turn away from it and buy some
thing else. They want aomething

J. A. Walsh, vice president and
control er of the Bon Marche,
agrees and, viewing a steady
sales level, says:
"The chemise has been a defi
nite factor in maining apparel
sales.
One exception was found to the
generally high praise given tiie ef
fect of the chemise. It came from
a specialty store which deals in
merchandise aimed at the higher
income men and women.
That store thus far has refused
even to stock the article, although
conceding pressure could eventu
ally lorce it uj uu u.
"We want our customers to look
well wherever they go." the store
manager savs. "whether it is Se

Paymenti are particularly
good, the store operators report
unanimously, with old accounts in
the best shape they have been in
months. There is an upswing in
credit buying, too, with the cash
being used to keep customers up
to date.
As one store manager puts it:
"The average customer is look
ing around and deciding he had
better get ready for a storm. As a
consequence, he is saying to his
wife, 'dammit, Mabel, we gotta
clean up those old accounts."
Apparently they are, too. Clean
ing up the old accounts and charg
ing a chemise on the new one.

Four cases of beer, along with
some cigarettea and candy, were

and placed just outside a broken
window where the original entry
was believed to have been made.

telegrams protesting parts of the

a "cowardly act" by the Western
Pine Assn. of Portland and the

Neulnrger and Secretary of Inter

berlands to be offered for sale to
private bidders, with the purchas
ers required to manage the tim
berland on a sustained yield basis
for 100 years. In the event no pur

Ends Stretch In Prison
SAN KKANCISCO . Artie
Samish, who once boasted he was
the "secret boss of California."
came home on parole Sunday but
he no longer was his once gar
rulous self.
Still weighing nearly 300 pounds,
the former lobbyist said only "It's
good to he out." He had served 26
months of a three-year sentence
in McNeil Island Federal Prison
in Washington. He was convicted
of income tax evasion.
Several years ago Samish boast
ed to a magazine reporter "I am
the governor of the Legislature ol
the State of California" because
of his campaign contributions to
candidates of both parties. That
led to an investigation of his lob
bying activities and income.
He was reputed to have paid
the government nearly $7."0.000 m
settlement of income tax claims
and penalties.
