MEDFORD MAIL TRTBUXE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1931. PAGE THIRTEEN Saturday Will Be Big Day Many Surprises Planned for Guests RETAILED ANGLE Articles Prepared to Aid Buyer Best Interest of Consumer Depends on Success of Merchant "The Med ford Mail .Tribune ty ing In with local merchants, pre sents the first of a series of arti cles of special Interest to housewife-shoppers on "Satisfying Mrs. Bftopper." It Is presented thru the chamber of commerce and the United States Chamber of Commerce.) Every American housewife, charg ed with the responsibility of wisely spending the family budget has a vital Interest In the retail stores of her community. Through a better understanding of the retailers ef forts to serve her, the housewife can assist in maintaining favorable prices and yet receive the high type of ser vice now offered by merchants. It Is over the retail counter that the largest business In the United States Is conducted the business In which more than six million men and women are engaged directly, earning $5,000,000,000 while selling more than 950,000,000,000 worth of goods annually. It is a business on which the products turned out by several million additional American wage earners depend for ultimate consumption. There Is an average yearly pur chaseby each citizen of tbe land of 4407 in recall stores. Of course some are too young to make pur chases. Allowing for them, the aver age expenditure per year In retail stores for wage earners is 91,024. .We might say the average family spends that much In stores. Consider who depends for a living on the consumer's dollars being spent in stores. There is the factory hand working at his machine; the farmer planting his crop; the direc tor of many corporations handling the stockholders' money; the scien tist in his laboratory; the newspaper reporter and advertising solicitor; the school teacher who Is paid with tax payers' money, and so ultimately all of us. Despite this Inter-relationship of every unit of society and business with retailing, there Is a battle-front of apparently conflicting Interests between merchants who bring to gether the goods to supply the con sumer, and the consumer, collectively and Individually, whose best Interests hinge on the continued success of Saturday School Attraction The beautiful new creation, the Hotpotnt , 'Hostess" model electric range, which Is being; especially features at the Mail Tribune cooking school. The new "Hostess" will be displayed In the lobby ot the Holly theatre throughout the cooking school. RE!'

The retailer exerts every effort to assemble a stock of merchandise gathered from all parts of the world to please the consumer his customer and to present his wares n an attractive manner and one to easiest facilitate their purchase by the consumer. And the merchant feels that he has a most reasonable claim to be paid for his labors and the use of his capital. We know that If his operations are efficient he best Interests of the consumer are served for he gets a satisfactory profit which in turn en ables him to continue to serve. Bank ruptcies are costly. The wholesaler, landlord and consumer all help pay the loss directly or Indirectly. "Service" Is the cornerstone on which every progressive store Is built and the pride which the merchant takes In his establishment becomes evident on personal acquaintance. He finds a genuine pleasure In perform ing his task well In addition to the money to be made In the business in the satisfaction of doing things that will be helpful to his organiza tion of employes and to those for Whom the store exists to please and serve. Progressive retailers are keenly Interested in their work, constantly giving thought to new methods in the hope of better serving their com FOR LADIES OF TRAIL Lad lee of the Trail community met with Mrs. Mack, home demon stration agent, at the home of Mrs. W.

EXPERTS According to A. B. Cunningham, of the People's Electric store, local Gen eral Electric Refrigerator distributors the General Electric refrigeration de partment offers a complete kitchen planning service to architects and builders. "They have made a study of mod ern kitchen arrangement end stand ready to furnish kitchen floor plans to anyone contemplating building a home or apartment," he said. "Kitchen efficiency Is an impor tant factor and too much thought cannot be given to Its arrangement and the. location of the appliances that get the most use. For instance, the electric refrigerator, range and kitchen cabinets should be grouped to save steps and to facilitate the preparation of meals. "Owing to limited kitchen space this is apt to prove difficult and It Is the belief of the General Electric company that busy architects and builders will welcome this service. Upon receipt of the kitchen floor plan we will forward it to the main office. The architects will give the problem the study necessary and make their recommendations. This service is absolutely free of charge and is offered by the General Elec tric refrigeration department In the Interest of developing more beautiful and better equipped homes and apartments." G.E.

MM NEW BOOK oto SALAD DRESSINGS TO SUIT THE SALADS "'J'HERE Is a right kind of salad for each oc casion, and a right kind of dressing for each different kind of salad." That is nothing new I It is simply that some things go together and some do not. It is as old as flowers in spring, overcoats in winter, going to bed at night and getting up in the morning. So mix a dressing appropriate to the salad. For the right dressing, mixed to suit the particular flavors of the salad, really decides the success of the salad. Each different kind of salad has a different flavor. That is why we like them. Then why smother all their flavors under , a blanket of thick' dressing like mayonnaise? Mix a dressing appro priate to the salad. In my little booklet I suggest a few salads ap propriate for each occasion and the dressings that go best with them. I feel sure you will enjoy it because I have written it just for you. I hope it will help you make all your dinners and parties the charming successful occasions you want them to be.
