When the average man braves a perfume bar or a lingerie department to ; buy his wife a gift, he suffers all the fears and frustations of the damned. ..and
with good reason! Nothing is so hard to gauge a women’s whims, z ; :
But consider the case of John, who shops not only for his own spouse but
I
for a million other wives.
John is a woman's wear buyer in a great Indianapolis store. Not only must he buy vast quantities of the apparel that millions of women will want; he must buy that merchandise months before the women themselves know they will want a : ]
.
Without benefit of crystal ball or tea leaves, John must decide which styles,
fabrics, colors and patterns will be wows . . . and which will be washouts.
If he muffs a renaissance of redingote... if he guesses wrong on the future
of furbelows . . . if he bets on Navy and the gals go for Burnt Ochre . . . poor re,
John! Customers stay away in droves, the store's sales plunge . .. and it's John
— not the Incurable Perversity of the Feminine Mind — that gets the blame from
the merchandise manager.
The Indianapolis store buyer deserves : a hand from all of us because, in spite of the hazards of his trade, he makes mighty few mistakes. He Janages to keep
most customers ‘happy most of the time.
Good buyers know what merchindise good customers like. It’s part of their job to influence the purchase of this good merchandise thru newspaper space for
advertising — a primary means of moving clothing from the stores’ racks to the
women’s backs,
‘a Store buyers find the Indianapolis Times a most effective “show window” for the display of their merchandise. And the customers, by their response to ad: vertising in the Indianapolis Times, demonstrate that this newspaper serves them well as an aid to their shopping plans. r NL A.
