She set sail from Plymouth, England, last May 18 and has reached the West Indies. Her first attempt to cross the Atlantic—with her husband—ended in disaster. Their 70-foot ketch sank in a storm and he was drowned. She vowed she would make the crossing alone. ■—C.P.C., ODD BITS — By B.A. — And More Ideas There seems to be a general agreement that no matter what size the town or city, there is an unconquerable lure for its consumers to a bigger shopping centre. A bit ing and firmed strongly dition chants theme. Casual However, while the big city seems able, there is a that consumers might be more satisfied with local merchandise if they looked a little harder for what they want at home—that perhaps there’s green grass in our own back yard that we miss in a too casual glance. For instance, we found that where women’s hose and lingerie are concerned, there’s not much more to be desired outside of town for most tastes in any size. Style Considered We found that new styles are certainly considered in that many dresses and coats are specially selected from larger centres— that buyers for local stores try to keep the more expensive ar­ ticles down to one per color or size—that half-sizes in women’s clothing are stocked in fair quantity—and that since there are • several stores in the com­ munity handling the same type of goods, we can’t* expect one store not to duplicate articles bought by another store. And we were told, quite de­ finitely, that often special sizes or colors can be obtained by order if the customer takes a fancy to something that doesn’t fit or isn’t her particular color. Local merchants realize that in the case of specialities, the variety of their merchandise is limited—.and must be in smaller shopping centres because of the big risk in overstocking these things. Comparable Price They feel that where price is concerned in the town as as in a larger community, sumers get pretty well just they pay for." There have numerous examples where tomers have commented favor­ ably on local prices when com­ paring goods with those offered in out-of-town stores. There is a feeling, too, that perhaps some shoppers fail to compare quality with price, and in their bargain seeking away from home, choose things for price, rather than quality in comparative price.

A Fair Try All in all, local merchants know that they can’t possibly compete with the huge stocks of­ fered in larger centres but they feel that perhaps local consum­ ers sometimes overlook what is offered here—that there may be more satisfaction to be found in local stores for shoppers if give their home town chance to show its wares. they first D.D.P.
