Waists; Hosiery

Abstract

Reviews the books, Waists by Natalie Kneeland (1924); and Hoisery, Knit Underwear and Gloves by Natalie Kneeland; and Girls' and Juniors' Ready-to-Wear by Fredonia Jane Ringo (1924). The reviewer states that the manuals devoted to various commodities are compilations of the facts about the commodities which a salesperson would find most useful in "talking up" her goods. For pedagogical reasons they are arranged in the form of questions and answers. Each section is ended by "Test Questions." A section in each manual is devoted to Methods of Teaching, much of the material in this section is the same in all the manuals. According to the reviewer, the practical value of all the aids offered by this series of manuals will undoubtedly insure their wide acceptance by those who are in charge of training retail salespersons.
