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

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? Stretch the main course and
inexpensively by adding plenty
of biscuits, muffins or ginger
bread to the menu. Wheat pro
ducts give flavor as well as
good nutrition for a minimum
of money.

Couple Return
From Trip South;
Visit Relatives
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Fuson, 2005
East Main street, returned home.
last week from a two-week trip
to California.
In Beverly Hills they visited
their son-in-law and daughter,
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon-Harcourt
Heaver, and their grandchildren,
Mary, Robert and Hollie.
En route home they visited at
Fresno, Calif., with their son and
daughter-in-law, Dr. and Mrs.
Thomas J. Fuson Jr., and their
granddaughters, Helen and
Claire.
The couple made the trip by
car and reported mountain road
conditions hazardous at the time
of their return.
Their daughter, Mrs. Heaver,
is now writing a column for the
weekly, "Pacific Import and Ex
port News," which has a wide
circulation here and in most for
eign countries. Her column, en
titled, "Near and Far," deals
with national and international
events and personalities.
Ham Scrapple
. Try a menu of ham scrapple,
lima beans, cottage cheese, bread
with celery butter and baked
apples for an old-fashioned coun
try supper. To make ham scrap
ple, add chopped cooked ham to
hot corn-meal mush and pour in
to a pan to mold; then chill, slice
thin and pan-fry until the slices
are a golden brown. Serve the
cottage cheese as a relish; whip

chopped chives, tomatoes and
green peppers.
Nice 'N Spicy
That's the way most people
like their pumpkin pies. Sara
Walls, home economics director,
suggests these variations the
next time you make a batch of
pumpkin pies to store in your
freezer: add A teaspoon ground
cloves and M teaspoon nutmeg
to each pie crust; in place of the
usual water, substitute chilled
orange juice for the crust recipe,
and, try a graham cracker crust
(or a real munchy, crunchy fla
