Sunday, October I, 1961
Mrs. Beth Anderson, above, enterprising business '
woman, mother, grandmother, Sunday School teacher,
youth work supervisor and outdoor woman, is a local '
example of today's active American woman. A native of
Idaho, Mrs. Anderson came here in 1946, where she found
facilities to accommodate her fishing, boating and swim
min hobbies. In 1956 she opened an office at 325 Main
Strr et, planning to do only a little stenotype reporting and f
secretarial work. Since then her inherent drive and energy
have turned her business into the profitable, full-time Beth
' Anderson Office Service and Employment Agency.

' Silhouetted against the country's economic and politi
cal scene, woman power is brought.into bold focus the week
of Oct. I to 7. Sponsored by the National Federation of
Business and Professional Women's Clubs, National Business
Women's Week emphasizes the contribution of the 22,413,
000 women in today's national work force to the future of
American democracy. The Klamath Falls BPW Club, build- '
ing the year's program on the theme "Dimensions for Dem
ocracy, ' is confident its members, represented by these 5
local business women, are equal to this challenge.
Operator of the Schroeder,, Realty Co., Mrs.. Polly
Schroeder, left, says her main interest is finding homes for
people. But her interest and activities in civic affairs occupy
much of her time. A primary concern is helping secure
scholarships for students who would not otherwise have an
opportunity to complete their education. She was last year's
president of the Oregon State University Mothers Club and
is on the board of directors of the Soropfimist Club and vice
president of the federation of the Oregon State University.
President of the Past Presidents Club, Mrs. Schroeder has
also been an enthusiastic member of Klamath Falls BPW
Club for many years. ' - " ;
A migratory route brought Mrs. Elfriede
Beeber, left, and her professional skill as a
seamstress to Klamath Falls 15 years ago.
Born in Hamburg, Germany, Mrs. Beeber
served a year there as an apprentice seam
stress and emigrated to the United States
when she was 1 6. After a short stay in Fre
mont, Neb., she moved on to Seattle, worked .
in a dress shop nine years, married and went
to Detroit for nine months, back to Seattle,
then to this city where she has conducted her
own successful commercial sewing service for
three years. Serving as BPW's hospitality
chairman, Mrs. Beeber is also a member of
Daughters of the Nile and Reames Golf and
Country Club.
Happy to be in a business she considers
fascinating enough to also be her hobby, Mrs.
Suzanne Hamilton, at right, conducts Mar
vin's, ladies' apparel shop. First a primary
school teacher after she was graduated from
Oklahoma A & M, later she and her husband
managed a chain of C. R. Anthony stores in
that state and had their own specialty shop.
In 1950, they established Marvin's and that
same year she became president df BPW,
which she had joined in 1923 in Chickasha,
Okla. Mrs. Hamilton is also a busy member
of Soroptimist Club and the Klamath Falls
Library Club.
