bookshopkeeper

— One of the greatest temptations for the resort bookshopkeeper is to stock those miscellaneous articles which come under the heading of “gifts” or “souvenirs.” It is true that summer visitors will pick up some novelty to take home to the family. But they will no longer spend their precious money for those unnecessary gadgets which were such a good racket a few years ago. They want their money’s worth; so unless you have a real gift department and have bought during the year from reputable gift manufacturers, it is unwise to dabble in gifts.
