in being sold on consignment at a markup of only 20 per cent the markup may seem small for a business of this kind to survive but mrs dederichs said the craft makers as well as the customers are pleased with the prices they the craft makers are pleased that the markup is not high they dont like to think that their work is making somebody else rich she said mrs dederichs adds that the most expensive item in the store a pair of ceramic ducks sells for 95 similar items in other stores go for as much as 135 one major obstacle the women hope to overcome is the problem of location situated on the 9th line just north of hwy 7 the store does not have what you might call a prime location if we were located in a shop ping centre we would have a lot more people coming in said mrs jones were off the beaten track and people have to make a specific stop but despite the stores location the two women said the response has been good they currently sell the work of 17 area craft makers and have been approached by other people wanting to sell their crafts customers seem to be impress ed by the low prices the most popular sellers so far have been the quilted hoop wall hangings as well as the pine wood folk art made by anne and bill gunn its too early to- tell if the ven ture will be a long lasting success but both women are cheerful under the pressure of starting a new business and making
