These are some tips for
persons who want to be

area. Or order from
stores in your area.

stores is risky unless yoii
know the reputation of the
ctnnpany.
Keep a looking list of
stores where you can buy
unusual things. Use it
while you are shopping for
other items that you need.
“Look lists” enrich your
shopping. .They broaden
your range of thinking and
give your taste a chance to
savor new things. Look

A list is a vital tool in all
phases of buymanship
techniques. It is a consis-

went into the store to buy.
But a list should be

Shop year ’round for
Christmas gifts and other
gifts for special occasions.
Then draw lines in front
of each name and write
after each name little
.notes such as, Mary is
doing her kitchen over in
pink. Or, Jim has a new
boat. This will help you to
note things and colors
suitably. Then as time
goes on, you can buy your
gifts over a period of
months and be ready for
Christmas and other
special occasions.
