Women Easy Selling Marks

Bv GAY PAULEY
UPI Women'! Edilor
New York -OD- Women are
easy marks for salesmen. It's
the husband who usually re-
sists the
quickly closed
deal.
Who lays
so? A tales

"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."
Recalls A Sal
To . show how salesmen
often have to overcome manly
stubbornness, he told of one
Kansas City family he once
called on. Those were the
days when he was ringing
doorbells. "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.

President
while he was in New York for
a sales meeting.
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

Hats Modeled by
Class Members
Members of the millinery
class of the adult education
class modeled the hats they
had made during the 10-week
course at an open house Tues
day evening at Hedrick Jun
ior High school.
A preview of ' flower hats
for Easter were shown as
well as the beaded holiday
headwear. A wide use of ma
terials were included in the
collection. Modeled were hats
of wools, laces, fur, velvet,
straws, and sheer chiffons.
Decorations included artific
ial fruit as well as beads,
shells, feathers, flowers, and
ribbon. '
The hats were modeled by
class members with Mrs. Dale
Collins, Gold Hill, instructor,
commentator for the showing.
Some students completed five
hats during the course.
Also on display during the
open house were oil paintings
completed by members of the
oil painting class of the adult
education program. Instructor
for the class was Mrs. Vera
Backstrom.
Each member of the class
completed three still life
paintings. Mrs. Backstrom, in
speaking of the work accom
plished by the group, stressed
that although the same ob
jects were used as subjected
by all class members the
paintings showed individual
personality rather than con
formity. Red candles and holly deco
rated the serving table from
which refreshments were
served following the showing.

Christmas in Early Days
Subject of College Club
Christmas in the early days
was the theme of the last
meeting of College Women's
club of the Rogue River val
ley. 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

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. The silver
service used was a Christ
mas present in 1863 from Miss
