bags —in the three dollar to $18.50 range-—are selling well, tax or no tax, merchandising men here say, But higher priced purses, with an average tax of $10, are slow sellers. Purse and shoe combinations
are having tax trouble, too. The bag starts out being cheaper than the shoes, but with the tax ends up costing more. And the eustomers refuse to pay more for a bag than for a pair of shoes.

Higher taxes on items such as cigareétes and. liquor is. recommended bv Mrs. Marcella York Aurora, to replace the tax on handbags. "A purse is tery im portant to a woman.” You have to have one. If “the government needs tax money then they should tax cigarets and whisky more than they do and ease up on housewives.” she says. Price Confusion Mrs, V. A. Wilkinson, 6033 Rosslyn Ave. thinks that the tax should be included in the price of the bag. “It's so confusing to have a price quoted to you and then have it upped a dollar or more by this tax. A purse is very definitely a necessity for me. I
think that cloth bags, at least, should be tax free. Another handbag shopper
stated that if the government considers purses a, luxury, then hats, shoes and even dresses shonld be called “luxuries,” too. Sales persons in handbag departments of local stores feport that the tax does knock sales, They say that it's a frequent occurrence to write up a sales check and then the customer change her mind when she discovers how much the tax is on the bag. Men especially. the clerks say,
