MONDAY. MAY 27. 1963 10 A For Bridal Retreads Businessman Cashes In on Advice To Second-Time Matrimonial Clients MEDFOED MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OREGON By DICK WESST Washington - llMi - You would think, considering all that you have to read about ,'&"! ler - Murphy ,1 wedding natl been covered from every an gle, wouldn't m n yu"i i im.ui, - 1 thnrA h a v a tasi" 1 been stories l J &j9 about its pu wen litical signifi cance, social significance, ro mantic significance and sev eral dozen varieties of insig nificance. It would appear to the cas ual observer that the subject had been exhausted, but some events apparently never run dry. Yet another aspect of the celebrated nuptials has been turned up by Max Hess, a publicity shy department store operator in Allcntown, Pa. He has just weighed in with a report on the commercial significance. Soma lime ago, Hess opened in his shop what was described as the world's first bridal fashion coun seling service for widows and divorcees who are plan ing to remarry. 140.000 divorces were grant ed last year and that an even larger number of husbands had severed matrimonial ties the hard way, by kicking the bucket. This swelled the population of one - time losers to some thing of the magnitude of 1.9 million divorcees and 8 3 mil lion widows. Hess reasoned that a size able percentage of these fe males soon would bo taking the plunge again and, in prep aration, would be unleashing a sizeable chunk of cash for clothes and stuff. It was the hope of channel ing some of this' currency in his direction that prompted him to establish the counsel ing service for bridal retreads. "While there is a wealth of etiquette and fashion ad vice on first marriages, there is a dearth of reading matter and counsel on the nuptial arrangements for sccond-time-a-rounders," Hess observed. His storo therefore began offering matrons planning to revisit the altar instruc tion! on such matters as an nouncements, invitations, engagement parlies, rings and wedding gowns. The significant thing about this is that since the wedding of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and Mrs. Maryharila Murphy, sales made through the remar- lie noted that more than i nage service have doubled.

LOW IN PRICE Apparently, the gubernato rial nuptials caused a number of widows and divorcees who had planned to remarry unob trusively to decide to make a ceremony out of it. I wouldn't be surprised If big splashy remarriages be came the fashionable thing to do. Be that as It may, it is ob vious that the governor's sec ond marriage has been good for business in Allentown.
