' Si wVi ; j I'd i THRIFT STORES are always a good place to find unique and useful items. Deseret INdustries cleans, repairs and prepares each item before it goes on the sale rack. o Thrifting (Continued from page 14) As people clean out their closets and donate items to a thrift store or decide to hold a yard sale, styles of clothes, fur-niture, home decorations are often the first to go. But said one local thrifter, "The styles are coming back. You just can't find those fashions in a regular store. I like wearing 1950s style dress, cashmere sweaters, and clothes. You can get these unique, perfect clothes really cheap by thrifting." Most thrift stores receive their merchandise from donations. "We get books, dishes, toys, clothes, furniture, and just about everything imaginable. We even had an automobile donated once," said John O'Toole, part owner of a Salt Lake City thrift store . "Clothing constitutes about half of our inventory. A lot of the clothes are practically brand new. They are clothes that someone just outgrew," he said. At the Salvation Army, trucks are sent to make pick-up- s at homes, businesses, or schools, said John Sandage, retail sales manager for the store. "We offer low pricing and service with integrity for the poorer families," he said. "Most of the good stuff goes fast," said one thrifter, "so know when the pick-u- p trucks come in. Shop regularly, be selective, dicker on price and swallow your pride." "Good thrifting comes with a lot of practice, the more you go the bet-ter," he suggests. One has to skim through all the racks of clothing, shelves of auto parts, dishes, kitchen equipment, books, drapes, towels, plants and furniture to find a good deal. Soon you develop an eye to spot a good bargain. "If I find a good deal, but do not necessarily need it myself, I buy it and unload it somewhere else," said a thrift buyer and seller. "I once bought 30 beds for $10. I turned around and sold them at a swap meet for $5 each," he said. Make sure the clothes you buy are not too worn out or damaged and always check for flaws. The majority of clothing can be fixed with a button or a good cleaning. "Styles are always changing. Thrifting provides a place where a person can buy stylish clothes so cheap that they are not going to feel bad about turning them back in to us once they go out of style," said Jeff Simpler, store manager at the Disabled Americans Thrift Store in Salt Lake. Deseret Industries is owned by the LDS Church. At D.I. all items except those in the "as is" section are cleaned, repaired, pressed and sterilized before they are sold. Some thrifter complain that D.I. is too "picked over" or is too high priced in comparison to other thrift stores. "We do not feel that $2.75 is an outrageous price to pay for a blouse," said Dean Walker, sales manager for the Provo store. D.I.'s prices are a bit higher, but they prepare the merchandise before it is sold. The majority of other thrift stores do not. "We are a it organization. Our main purpose is to provide jobs for the disabled and handicapped. Our secondary prupose is to provide the customer with good mer-chandise at a sale price," Walker said. - D.I. has changed a bit in the past few years. It now offers new products such as beds, couches, tables, bookcases, toys, quilts and other handmade products. It also has antiques, collectibles, han-dicrafts and a country store sec-tions. According to a BYU study on Deseret Industries, the main age group of thrifters ranges from 18 to 34 years old. Fifty-eigh- t percent are females, and 91 percent are LDS. There are equal amounts of e people and high-incom- e people shopping at D.I. rTMfEl-CflRE-Eh Comprehensive evening class for commission sales Sales and professional development Professional internship program Guaranteed placement Excellent part timefull time potential This course features sales knowledge & professional development in the folio Salesmanship 'Tours 'Cruises World Geography'"1 Airline Reference Material Land Arrangements (ground transportation hotels, sightseeing, etc.) Call now for details, T-N- -T Travel Careers, American Fork, 756-9617- -J ( BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW TOR THE JUMEBIC8M POfiK j btoV Tir --fr --fr July 7, 8, 9. fr ftftft&ti SfmrRDETICKET 1 WOW JUST 25 WITH EACH $1.00 PURCHASE ( Ar YOUR PARTICIPATING Drawing for Trip of Your Choice Carnjva w xy Variety Show and Fireworks Art Shows Horseshoe Tournament ! 4.H Events SIlOW Sidewalk Sales I Flag Ceremony !
