"I've told my neighbors I am dresses and have asked them to spread the word, But I_hayen't received..one nibble What do you think I should There are several things that woman can do, For in- stance, if she is looking for a term arrangement that will last just long enough to enable her to sell items she no needs, she can advertise ' in classified sections newspapers. PROMOTE SALES On the other hand, if she wants to go into a short-term selling project that has regular for several days, she can take a cue from the Garage Sales that were so popular in suburban areas during the past season, In the winter she can advertise a Basement Sale and, . for a period of several days, have her basement stocked with clothes or other items and open to the public for specific hours.

If you are in doubt, about what to charge, seek advice from people who are experienced at pricing or selling new and used clothing or other items, Hang' on when you know: that you have a good thing, and re- mind yourself daily that success takes time.
