Probably the most successful of the full lines is Estée Lauder's Clinique, consisting of seven products concocted with the help of dermatologists and priced from $6.50 to $7.50 each.

On the counter sits a computer-like box that asks the customer eight questions about her complexion, which she answers by moving silver knobs.

With a small army of 300 kimono-clad saleswomen amid the racks, Mitsukoshi officials expect to sell $2.1 million worth of the traditional Japanese garments before the sale ends Sept...
...Dart Industries' net profits. Tupperware products are sold by self-employed dealers, mostly housewives, who peddle the plastic food containers at home demonstration "parties." In order to maintain the evangelical zeal of the distributors, Dart regularly holds sales jubilees at which the most successful of the housewife-saleswomen are awarded such prizes as new cars, microwave ovens and all-expense trips to London and Tokyo with their husbands.
