UNDER THE COUNTER By PETTY CASH MANCHESTER'S two prize long-distance customers have just been iiscovered, one living in Bend, and the jther in Atascadero, but what makes it really good is that theyre sisters. For 15 years Mrs. John Everett Anderson, who lives ranch near Atascadero, has been completely outfitted year round from Manchesters. Most of the time die selections are made by another sister, who lives in Madison, but once every year or two Mrs. Anderson comes to Madison for a really complete new wardrobe, plus a new make-up and a new permanent.

And each time she comes she asks the salesgirls in the various dppartments to take a good look at her so that when she orders something six months later, they can send her the proper thing. And they always clo. Very few things have had to be exchanged, although hundreds have been ordered during that time. Mrs. Anderson's sister here keeps a card index of all of her sizes, color preferences, and second and the joint shopping service which she receives from her sister and Manchesters salesgirls make the thing VERY worth while, Mrs.

Anderson says, although she pays considerable postage to have them sent to her. The other sister. Miss Clara Thiel mam, who lives at West Bend, does it differently. She has Lorraine, Manchester's Shopper, make selections for her, and Lorraine says that Miss Thielman is' her most faithful customer, ordering something at least once a week the year around. AFTER 16 (2 years behind Manchesters counters (13 in wash goods, three in neckwear, and six months in boys) Mrs.

Sylvia Dolfen wrapped her last package, wrote her last salesslip, and punched her last time clock Saturday night. In offering her resignation, Mrs. Dolfen said she felt shed earned a little rest but rumors which spread like a northwoods fire through the store said that the REAL reason shes resigning is so that shell have enough time to play with her first grandchild who is two months old. What is your fondest memory of your sixteen years here? someone asked. Dollar Days! promptly answered Silvia, who looks about as much like a grandmother as one of the snarky young models in the dress department.

Ill never forget Dollar Days as long as I live! a Polish wedding. I adored them when they first had them and I still love them, Its more fun selling when customers are BEGGING to buy hurling bolts of percale in their, eagerness (I caught-one jon the ear once) and scrambling over the counter. And, of course, I'll never forget the time that Mr. Manchester chartered all of the street cars in Madison from 9 a. m.

until noon so that Dollar Day customers could ride free. 1 THE MOST interesting bit of merchandise to appear in the store this week is called The Brides Maid and it was originated by a Madison woman, Mrs. Herbert Jacobs. It's a small, complete card file unit which has what cook books do not in simplicity and organization of material One section contains 82 complete menus based on large cuts of meat and showing how to use them up in succeeding meals. The other section contains 140 simplified recipes covering the food specified in the menus.

A FEW evenings ago Jack Ferguson, manager of the Fountain Room, was sitting on the end of his pier at his home around Lake Mendota fishing or, rather, he was just putting a worm on a hook on a line so he COULD fish, when suddenly there was a swish and flutter of black wings over his head and a huge (and I really mean BIG) black crow lighted on the pier beside him and po- 'itely picked the worm out of fingers. Jack batted his eyes and stuck a fish hook in his fin- ger but he didn't wake up and the crow didn't go away. Instead, he merely cocked a wicked eye at Jack and began to eat the worms in the can on the pier. Then Jack made a quick mental survey of what hed had to drink that day but the crow STILL wouldnt go away. And then Jack yell- ed for Mrs.

Ferguson who came running out of the housa quickly to see what was the matter. But the crow didnt go away even then. He just flew up to meet Mrs. Ferguson and then strolled back down to th pier with hr. And he's-been there ever since but it's Jack who's quothing, Nevermore!
