A tales man and ex ecutive who has been ped dling, or tell ing others L how to peddle, Gy Pauley Household ap pliances for the last 45 years "If today'3 housewife does n't own some specific labor saver, she wants it," said A. L. McCarthy, vice president of the Eureka Williams corpora tion, a subsidiary which makes vacuum cleaners. "And what she wants, she gets," said McCarthy, sound ing just like a line out of a Broadway musical hit, "Damn Yankees." "The wife is always easier to sell," he continued. "Why? Because she runs the man, that's why. After a while, he learns this."

"The missus wanted a cleaner badly," said Mc Carthy. "Her husband kept saying, 'my grandmother used a broom. My mother used a broom. You can use a broom'." "The next day," said Mc Carthy, "I just called on the husband at his office. The first thing I noticed was this fancy pencil sharpener. I thought, well, I've lost this sale any way, so I just indicated he was a cheap skate. Five dollars he could spend on a pencil sharp ener but nothing to make life easier for his wife." McCarthy made the sale. McCarthy, a rugged look ing, good-humored man in his 60's, has used this approach and other techniques to sell some 500 million dollars worth of home appliances in his 45 years in the business.

He gets so self-sold on the product at hand that, discuss ing a new crop of cleaners, he looked at me and said: "They're so good, I often get to the point where I can't exaggerate anymore." But pitchman McCarthy rather misses a fading bit of Americana - the door to door salesman. "Now," he said, "we use the indirect approach. We push products through newspaper ads, through tele vision and radio commercials "But to me the doorbell route was the sure route . . you'd be surprised how lone some women get.

Dressed in an ornate black dress of the mid 19th century, Mrs. Bert Stancliffe opened the meeting, held at the Girls Community club Saturday, December 13. Mrs. Stancliffe explained that the dress was made up of two. The waist was a part of a gown owned by Mrs. Olen Arnspiger, which had belonged to her mother, Mrs. Harrison, an early day valley teacher. The voluminous, beribboned skirt came from the Stancliffe fam ily. Mrs. Charles W. Forrest, music chairman, presented the Rev. James Sinclair of the Ashland Church of Christ. He set the spirit of the meeting by singing "O Holy Night." He was accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Sinclair. Following the music Mrs. W. H. Sutter, who had built her program on the theme, "An Oldtime Christmas," in troduced two "little girls," Mrs. James Johnston and Mrs. Victor Birdseye, who j,poke "nieces." M- jn'mtUn recited "Getting Ready for oouiei unua anu iui a. ix o- eye read a Christmas poem that had been written especi ally for her when she was 10 years old. Guests Speak Mrs. Sutter presented her honor guests who shared with one another and with the audience their memories of early day Christmases. They were Mrs. Emil Peil (Alice Applegate), whose forebears came to the valley in 1846; Clarence Lane, who was born "just across Bear Creek" 88 years ago; Mrs. Minnie Bar ron, the comparative new comer, whose family came in with the railroad in the 80's (she, however, married into one of the early pioneer fam ilies); and John Payne, who was born in Sams Valley, fol lowed the gold rush to Nome, Alaska, but came back to his C .. -il I .. . birthplace to live. Among Christmas gifts they remember were stockings fill ed with hard candy on a string, striped candy sticks, boots with brass toes and red tops, and of course, rag dolls. Trees were trimmed with paper chains, strings of pop corn, paper cutouts, and "cat stairs" just as Mrs. Sutter had decorated the tree for the day. Mrs. Peil had contributed the "cat stairs", a type of chain made by folding paper or rib bon. They added that the presents themselves were put on the tree unwrapped, being a part of the decoration. Mr. Lane remembered that there was also a New Year's tree. Mrs. Sutter had placed un der her tree a holly leaf cut out pincushion gift for each one present. Gold Dust Used Mr. Payne remembers that they were very poor because their farm products brought little; however, there was al ways gold dust to use as a medium of exchange. Group singing, led by Mrs. O. C. Larison, concluded the program. Pouring at a table, decorat ed in a Christmas motif, were Mrs. Harris James and Mrs. Glenn O. Taylor, joint host esses for the day.
