ASKS CO-OPERATION
OF WOMAN BUYERS
A
ft '
Alice Dickson Points Way to
Better Business in Address
to Federation.
A plea for better co-operation be
tween consumers and producers was
made this afternoon by Mrs. Alice Dick
son, member of the President's Commit
tee for Unemployment Relief, in a short
address before board members of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs.
She declared women could help business
greatly by studying their needs and
Bpending accordingly.
"Eighty-five per cent of the retail
buying in the country is done by
women,” she said. "Many retailers and
manufacturers have gone bankrupt
through lack of co-operation from con
sumers. Every bankrupt causes a rise
In taxes.”
Intelligent Buying Urged.
Mrs. Dickson pointed out that there
Is ft definite relation between the con
sumer, the trade problem and taxes, and
urged club members to encourage more
Intelligent buying. Her address was fol
lowed by one of a similar trend by Miss
A. L. Bush of the United States Depart
ment of Commerce.
Reports of the Committee on Eco
nomic Adjustment, of which Mrs. W. E.
Minier of Nebraska is chairman, pre
ceded the addresses.
Father Walsh of Georgetown Uni
versity spoke to a large group of board
members at federation headquarters
this morning on the subject of com
munism. following the report of the
Department of American Citizenship, of
which Mrs. J. C. Pearson of Oklahoma
Is chairman.
Last night members of the executive
board were guests of honor at a dinner
given in the George Mason Hotel, Alex
andria, by the Alexandria Cameron
Club.
Senator Robinson Speaks.
Honor guests of the evening were Mrs.
Edward Everett Gann, sister of Vice
President Curtis, and Senator Arthur
R. Robinson of Indiana, who was prin
cipal speaker.
Senator Robinson, a World War vet
eran, spoke on “Preparedness."
Other speakers included Edmond F.
Piper, mayor of Alexandria: former
Representative Charles C. Carlin of Vir
glnia. John Barton Phillips of Alexan- 1
dria Bicentennial Committee, Mrs. John
P. Sippel, president of the General Fed- |
