Tendency T0 Decrease Use of Perfume Today Perfume has been a woman's trademark for centuries, but be- cause of its high price and errors in its use, women of today have had a tendency to forget perfume as an accessory to their ensemble. Dram sizes may be purchased if the buyer rebels at paying for beautiful bottles when she is really buying the contents. A women's magazine has recent- ly stated that perfume must be- long to the wearer. Personal taste is important in the selection of perfumes.

Stickel, national sales manager for a well-known television firm. Mr. Stickel states that the shortage of manpower will pro- vide opportunity for women to put their feet in the retail selling door. He also says that innate ability as salesmen will keep women in the field, manpower shortage or not. * * * THE REASON that the trend did not begin with the last war is very obvious, Mr. Stickel says. "The last war couldn't start the trend, because consumer goods like refrigerators and radios start- ed disappearing about the same time manpower did." However, Mr. Stickel explains that the situation is different this time. He says that the government is draining the manpower supply, but allowing consumer goods to continue. The sales manager says that lady salesmen are a wonderful idea, especially f o r household goods bought largely by women. * * * ACCORDING TO Mr. Stickel's theory, women can interest a cus- tomer faster than a man and there is less psychological resistance to women salesmen. "A woman is not branded with the pressure sales tactics asso- ciated with male salesmen," Mr. Stickel explains. The television sales manager admits that on the technical op- eration of something like a tele- vision set, people are more inclin- ed to take a man's word as reliable information than they are a wo- man's word. * * * HOWEVER, Mr. Stickel says that once a-man picks a brand, it is the woman who decides on the actual set. "Women understand t h a t around the house simplicity of operation is necessary for any- thing from a television set to a refrigerator. Therefore, they will sell that point to a woman customer," Mr. Stickel insists. He admits, however, that there is one drawback to women sates- men, but he says it is only tem- porary. This is that women do not get the customer signed on the dotted line as fast as men do. * * * MR. STICKEL says that train- ing will cure this one fault and that women have other advantag- es over men which training can- not cure. One advantage women have as door-to-door salesmen is the fact that it is easier for a woman to get into a home, either daytime or evening. Mr. Stickel adds that he likes women salesmen with "maturity and responsibilities." 4.. ,..
