Expert advice

(1965 September 11)

We went to Madison today - I got off at Hilldale after we had lunch at the Pancake House. I was mostly at Gimbels in the Art Needlework Department. I expected to get a good clerk or department head and ask her what is all the go now - as it was, I picked out a few things to take home and the clerks would ask me what they were called, what used for. I had 3 different clerks - Department of Confusion. Outside the 5&10 no other store had a thing. I did get some good stuff tho.
