PAGE SIX THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON Women Shoppers Are Best Value Hunters; Buv Better Than Men Ring, Watch, Money. Stolen by Thieves From Salem House A woman shopper is more easily "sold" than is a man. She is a better siiopper. She diuplays judgment. Invariably she, buys values, rather than price tags. And, pro vided she is accorded the fair measure ol professional attention that she demands, she makes the transaction lar more pleasurable to the clerk than does the male. Finally, contrary to the popular belief, you don't have to show her everything in the store. She knows nrattv well what she wants, ana she buys more freely than a man. Better Judgment Shown This from Salem clerks. You can learn abont women from them. "I had far rather wait on a woman than a man," said one mer chant, a salesman for many years who is now the proprietor of a local store, this afternoon. "I'll tell you why. I like to deal with Intelligent shoppers. Women show far better Judgment than men. "A man will come into the store. He will ask to see a shirt. Several are shown him. He asks the price and is told they are 5. " 'No,' he will say, without ex amining the shirts, 'I want about an $8 value.' And, In consequence, he will get the more expensive of the two shirtB regardless of their respective worth. Knows Her Mind. "But a woman? Not much! She tells you she wishes to look at a good shirt. You show her the $5 one. She examines it painstaking ly. She scrutinizes the button holes, the cuffs, the collar. But Hhn doesn't, at first, look at the brand or the price mark. She prob ablv will ask to see some other shirts and she will compare them their quality with the $5 one. Then she will ask the price and eventually will take the one she believes to be the best buy." That the average clerk who ex periences difficulty in "selling women does so because he has the wrong attitude toward uer be cause he assumes a oeillgerent, un yielding mien is the belief of this salesman-proprietor. Women Buy More. "You can't throw goods at a woman shopper," he said. "In that way women are different from men. If a man buys a collar he names the tfcize and Brand he wants and expects you to wrap it up. Don't try that stuff on a woman. She wants the collar dis played, she wishes to know that Harding or Chaplin or somebody wears one like it, and then she's satisfied. When she does get the collar, she probably will buy twice as many of them as would the male customer." Three men salesmen of Salem insisted today they- would much rather wait on women than men. Each of the salesmen is a leader in his line and eai-t. !.as had many years of experience. How far does that go toward knocking the age old argument concerning their Teachers Discuss County Unit Plan Dallas, Or., Dec. 13. The coun ty unit system was the principal subject discussed Saturday at the annual meeting of the Polk coun ty school officers in the Dallas court house. J. A. Churchill, state superin tendent of schools, argued at length in favor of the proposed plan, holding that better adminis trative and education results will be obtained if the county becomes one big school district, in effect O. A. Peterson of the Valley '.'lew district talked on the same sub ject, giving arguments both for and against the plan. G. A. Peterson and C L. Starr, the latter now from Portland but an old county superintendent here, took the opposite sides on the question as to whom should be permitted to take part in school elections. Mr. Peterson contend- ed that as the property owners pay the cost of maintaining the schools they should have the say. But Mr. Starr held that renters really pay not only the taxes, but also Insurance, etc., and a profit to the owner of the property, and has as much right to participate in such elections as the freeholders them selves. County Superintendent Wills explained the new record books that must be used by the clerks, and which are audited each year. YOD CAN'T WORK WELL WITH A COLD tendency toward bagging, irrita bility and pettiness into the old eoeked cady? Fanners Are Different. What class of persons,- in and around Salem, Is the most difficult to sell? , Farmers. unquestionably farmers are the most wary, take the most time," one of the salesmen said. "The reason is fairly obvious. In the past it was considered good business to pass off most anything on the stranger in town. Farmers were held to be somewhat gullible and a smooth 'line' and cheap mer chandise was shoved in their di rection. In the past they were stung on many occasions. Now they take no chances." Rosedale Notes A comparatively small haul was made by burglars who . last night entered the home of B. L. Earl, 1959 Center street. A man's gold watch, a woman's ring and about 1 2 in change were stolen by thieves, according to Mr. Earl's report to the police. The house was unoccupied at the time the burglary was com mitted. When members of the household returned about 8:20 o'clock, they found the doors standing wide open. $14,783,000: Spent By State For Education Propose Loan Fund As Memorial to Late Normal Head Rosedale, Or., Dec. 13.

Plans for the es tablishment of the Ackerman loan fund as a memorial to the late edu cator and president of the normal! school, were formulated at a re cent meeting of the faculty.
