progress, make certain that your
powder shade keeps right up with
it.
Nothing spoils the effect of a
beautiful golden glow tan so thor-
oughly as makeup which is two or
three shades off.
"The simplest and most econom-
ical way to keep up with your ever-
changing complexion." says M-G-M
starlet Jean Rogers, “is to buy a
box of deep suntan powder and
blend it with your regular shade.” I
In blending it, however, warns
Jean, make certain you mix the two
shades thoroughly, and then sift |
the powder through a piece of
cheesecloth to prevent minute
lumps. 4.— n
Sometimes a suntan needs a new
lipstick shade, too. For most types,
true red is the best bet. Be careful
of orange and fuchsia tones, for
they may give a muddy look to your
complexion.

Youngsters, retired salespeople, and untrained, part-time work,
ers are now enlisted as quartermasters to the home front •..
supplying civilian needs across the counters of more than a
million stores. ... To them, to you, and to the storekeepers
of the nation, the business machines of retailing ,. . National
Cash Registers ... are vitally important in our economy.
CONSIDER a busy department in a store with
fewer and less experienced people, with more
customers to serve. ... In spite of this, once
your selection is made and you offer money
to pay, the amount is "rung-up," your receipt
automatically printed and issued by the cash
register, change is made, parcel wrapped and
you're on your way.
There is no delay ... no waiting for cashiers,
inspectors or wrappers. . . . The 3 or 4 min-
utes saved this way, when multiplied by bil-
lions of transactions in the nation's retail
* business, contribute countless important hours
to a people at war.
More hours are saved in auditing because
each salesperson makes several essential records
when she "rings-up” each transaction.
Luckily, many retailers were prepared for
war before the war .. . for their National Cash
Registers simplify the handling of transactions
for the most inexperienced ... making pos.
sible individual responsibility over money and
records and, at the same time, providing as
fast, accurate and protected service as is known.
This is but one of the many mechanized sys-
tems built by Nations! to save man-hours and
protect money end records — for business, in-
dustry, Government and the public. An ade-
quate stock of modern used National Cash
Registers is available for business needs.
Wherever records are
kept er money is handled,
