I There are two men in my life my husband and our antiques dealer. At the New Year's beginning it stems right to say thank you to them both for iheir help and encouragement. Don Tavlor has been our dealer for 16 of his 22 years in business. We began our "formal" education in collecting by spending our days off from newspaper work in his shop. He always has willingly shared his experience and knowledge ana the past seven years has taught classes for serious collectors. He is an outspoken advocate of honesty, integrity, knowledge and expertise which he says the collector-"hathe right to demand of any person jirofessing to be a deaier of an.iques." We asked Don what the collector should demand of a dealer. This is his reply: "First, above everything, there should be nothing in the shop less than 50 years old. If shop owners are handling reproductions, annua! issues, whiskey and cosmetic bottles they are not antique dealers and theirs are not antiques shops. They should be labeled novelty shops, rummage rooms or collector's stores. "Granted the antique business has been hit by a scarcity of wares and many shops have added reproductions and annua! issues to increase the inventory. If this is the case, the items should be sepeither arated from the old in another room or in an area specifically designated. In any event, new items should not make up more than 25 per cent of the shop invento- ' 3 - , 'iwHw r" I i : "LI x ,,- Birthday Open House to Honor Florence Christ ensen Anderson .f I Florence nit. 1 - Christensen Anderson will be honored at an open hcuse today at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Byron (Fawn) Ferguson, 3323 N. 175 E., Provo.

"Antiques dealers- have a r ' should vast workable knowledge of their merchandise. This does not mean they there is no are experts such thing in this field. But they should be conversant in such general subjects as glass, porcelain and pottery, metals, furniture periods and styles, trends and fads in col- - lecting. "If the dealer doesn't know the answer to your question you should be told this instead of being given false or, misleading information. "A dealer should maintain an adequate library for personal study and customer reference when needed. One thing a dealer should never display is a price guide. Dealers should be capable of pricing any item within their domain without this crutch. "You have a right to find a price tag on every item in the shop. It should bear a price for which the item is to be sold, without bargaining. The day and age oi coding merchandise is over. "You should request and receive a guarantee that the item is what it is represented to be. "Then there are the niceties of merchandising. You should expect a clean, well-lighte- d shop with items free of dirt and grime. Merchandise should be displayed without crowding so that you can browse without fear of breaking something. He condluded by saying, "When you find dealers who meet your standards, express your appreciation, tell your friends and patronize their shops. "They have not achieved their knowledge easily -most of it has been self taught. They always are seeking ways to upgrade their business and often have to meet unfair competition with fair play. In addition, these dealers give many hours of service in their r es to museums, historical societies and other organizations."
