A dealer In wearing apparel, noticing
that his stout customers and his very
thin customers often were sensitive as
to their figures, installed two full
length mirrors of special design, says
Popular Mechanics magazine. One was
slightly concave and the other slightly
convex. When a stout customer tried
on a suit she was led to the concave
mirror for self-inspection, and was able
to see her figure as it would appear
with its measurements reduced. When
a thin person came in to try on clothes
she was taken to the convex mirror,
where the opposite effect was pro-
