We noted w ith interest a story in one of the Portland Robert Kramer and Wayne papers tm s week, telling of housew ives over tne nation, com piling a list, “in a little black book”, of unac- com oaaung w aiters, clerks, professional people ana otners. Mow, we haan t gotten around to actually w rit in g tnese nam es down, nut we did have them stored in the back of our mind tor future reference, for th is very thing—the often discourteous treatm ent one recives now adays from som e tradesmen, clerks, etc. is very disconcerting to say tne least. A s w ith m any other things, we suppose the war is to blame. A lo t of it m ay be blamed onto the fact th at there is little or no com- petion in business and professions today, as every store can sell all they have, every tradesm an and pro fessional person is hardly able to keep ahead of tneir work. But these things do not excuse dow nright dis courtesy in dealing w ith the consumer public, and we find there is a growing resentm ent against those stores and tradesm en who aiiow such to happen in their store or calling. The consum ing public, no aoubt, is ju st about forced to put up w ith it at present, but m any of tnem, so they have stated, and we believe they will, not forget it when competition is keen again and those same tradespeople will be crying for business. A little cour tesy and a sm ile will go along w ay now as alw ays in holding trade and in dealing w ith the public. * * * THE OPA SAYS MORE CLOTHING We can well im agine the housew ives of the nation greeting w ith joy tne announcement last week by the u P A th at more and cheaper clothing will be available in a short tim e.
