MEN'S STORES
EXPECT
GOOD
HERE
SEASON
By JIM MORRISON
It won't multor much this
Christmas season what ort of
styles In men's clothing la shown
In Klnmath Falls stores. Old
Joe Public's gonnn buy. Not
only Is ho going to buy, but he's
going to pny more nnd not give
a hoop.
That's the sentiment of Klam
ath Kalis men's store merchants
the length. of Main street. And
are they getting ready for the
rush! You won't hear many of
them cry about poor business
this year. Neorly every one of
them Is brimming over with en
thusiasm and will tell you he
0 expects the biggest year In his
local history.
Window trimmers arc busy
with fancy paper and streamers
for backgrounds. Clorks and
managers aliko arc loading
shelves and counters with new
merchandise or busily awaiting
shipments that haven't come.'
Everybody Is In a fever pitch of
preparation that usually Isn't
manifested until a coupla of
weeks befora Christmas.
True, there is a certain amount
of men's clothing shortage, a
condition directly attributable to
the national defense effort, but
most of tho local orders aro get
ting through at least in part, and
most stores aro stocked to the
gills with suits, topcoats, hats,
socks, shorts, shirts, ski clothes,
shoes and tics thnt will sell like
hotcakes before the season's
over.
Tho real Christmas rush hasn't
started yet, but already the men's
stores nro doing heavy business.
Men drop In, ask to see a suit,
Jacket or overcoat like they ad-
Q mired a couple of years ago, and
buy tho artlclo for themselves
wlthput a whimper over the 8
per cent or so boost In price.
A salesman traveling for an
eastern clothing outfit summed
, It up: "If tho public only knew
what Is going to happen to tho
prices of clothes lt'd come right
clown and clean out every store
in town." Ho said his company
had gone completely out of the
making of dress shirts for men.
The company's shirt line has
shifted toward khaki for Uncle
Sam.
. Nearly every Klamath Falls
haberdasher shows the enthus
iasm of an expected good season
with lavish Christmas decora
tions being whipped rapidly Into
shape. One merchant oays he's
counteracting tho failuro of
clothing manufacturers to alter
men's styles by offering ultra-
attractive gift wrappings. He
Q expects to use ono mile of cello
phane wrapping, a half-mile of
Scotch tape, and two miles of
bronze, gold or silver ribbon.
And speaking of styles. They
haven't changed, but It won't
mean nothing new will be
bought. With, the OPM's over
SO per cent cut ordered on auto
mobilo production, what can be
bought for a man but clothes? A
few dollars .can repair the old
plunk for another .ypajy and he'll
sU.ll hava thnt $30 a month on
hand. "Reason for lack of style
change this year Is that to change
the cut of a suit or overcoat the
manufacturer must change the
mould of his cloth-cutting pat

Gifts for Worn en

"True to Style"
By MARGUERITE YOUNG
NEW YORK "But what
kind of a friend what kind of
a woman Is she?" the shopping
counselor asked tho Christmas
gift shopper. Tho customer said:
"She's smart."
"Of course, -but smart how7
A bridge player? Enough of one
to crow over our new playing
card subscription which sends
her a new monogrammcd deck
once a month?"
"Gracious, nol She's always
busy. Defense! And no slack in
her social pace cither."
"Oh, that typo. Easy," remark
ed the counselor. "Once a week,
she collapses and has dinner In
bed. Look . .t
The Christmas shopper looked,
she went home with a "dinner
on a tray set." It's a service for
one. Beautiful modern crystal,
complete from soup cup to des
sert plate.
And this little scene is being
repeated, in essentials, every
wnerc during this bumper pre
Christmas season.
It looks like the biggest true-to-type
Christmas the American
woman ever experienced. It's go
ing to be the biggest Christmas
as anybody can predict by ust
looking at the 17-per cent rise
In national income. And the
stores arc primed and stocked
for It with everything from the
solid gold, Initialed latch key for
the woman whose home is first
in her life, to tho Christmas,
1941, "brunch coat" for the one
who does her work In her loung
ing clothes. And, with such va
riety to suggest from, salespeople
are ready lo help you buy closer
to character than ever before.
CHRISTMAS RULE!
KNOW YOUR WOMAN
So, more than ever, your first
principle In Yule shopping for
Her Is: Know your woman.
She always complains about
how fast the hem of her house

brand-new short one. Most spec
tacular is the modest-priced ray

and swlshy, gay and practical,

length garment at many price
levels.
A perfect one for a college girl

Nevertheless, they all expect a
now-or-never Christmas booth.
One clerk optimistically noted:
"I think this would be a good
town Jor a clothlngf store."

Sales people are showing men

pucker-taffeta in serene green or
bright red and white stripes.
She's "a young thing and can't
get enough beautiful gadgets?"
That calls for costume jewelry.
Best-selling modest piece typical
of this category is a clip In the
shape of Santa himself. The
brilliant enamel figure is to be
worn alone or with the all-year
lapel ornaments.
Real Jewels also are shown
and sold this year, especially in
useful articles. For instance,
compacts literally paved with
precious stones from South Am
erica. And diamonds. Come Christ

trade, this stone will be as uni

There's a special reason, then,
for giving household furnishings

harder to get as priorities press
on in consumers goods. Right
now, there are new pieces made
for Christmas. Fluorescent lamps
are streamlined. Coffee tables of
moderate price are done in lac
quer to match any color In her
house.
Pressure cookers have flex

SILK HOSE ARE

"Silk stocking wardrobes"
come in a bell-shaped package:
there's a different weight hose
for morning, afternoon and even

are many -colored and full of sur
prises, such as Merry Hull's stun

show her watch through a cro
cheted hood. The tax on leather
inspires a spiffy, giant-sized
water-proofed over-night case,
and hundreds of lovely blessedly-soft,
