Mail Order Books Show Respect for Women Buyers By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Fifty years ago a woman in a snow-isolated home turned up the kerosene lamp, pulled her chair close to the coal stove and began flip ping thin pages of a heavy cata logue. Her fingers brushed past pages that pictured tools, pocket watches, guns, buggies, saddles, a "wonderful Mississippi wash er" for S5.75 (six months trial offer), until finally on page 1301 she paused at the section devoted to women's clothes. Maybe she only wanted a new shirtwaist, or she couldn't re sist the "very handsome ladies' tourist coat" for S6.50 on the page headed "Nobby cloaks for nobby folks." Only Show Window But this mail order shopper, for whom a catalogue was the only show window of city mer chandise, was just one of mil lions of American women who FOR THANKSGIVING i, ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS 17 Lovely Pre-Arranged CENTER PIECES Wide Assortment of VARIETIES & COLORS M BOOKS GIFTS RECORDS in the past half century have searched catalogue pages for clothes. Mail order fashions have chronicled accurately the taste of 20th century women from the Gibson Girl customer to the toreador pants set. They have recorded women's gradual emergence into promi nence as family money spenders. Now women's clothes begin on page one in the Sears. Roebuck and Co. catalogue instead of page 1301. The gigantic operation behind-the-scenes in the mail order cata logue industry is fascinating proof of two things women's basic common sense and the re spect big businessmen have for women customers. Two months from now some 7,000,000 families will get the spring Sears, Roebuck and Co. catalogue which will include 175 pages of fashion represent ing the direct work of 350 peo ple (buyers, comparison shop pers, designers, etc.) The "nobby folks" of 50 years ago wouldn't recognize it. Since the late 1930s catalogues have hired high fashion models and copied the color pictures and striking poses of fashion maga zines. Many a modestly-priced dress (the top dress price in the Sears catalogue is S25) is shown oh a girl paid up to $50-an-hour for posing. A single blouse style often represents weeks of research by a dozen people, topped off by a meeting of the "4-star" board at Sears. Paris jxredctions have no influence (on the board. They pass on exceptional quality and proven style. "It is not our province to pioneer," said Mary. Lewis, one ! of the company's fashion staff, i "For a fashion to be successful with us, it must have become somewhat familiar to the pub lic." Company for dinner unexpect ed?
