From the Columbian Newspaper, circa 1977:
Good service: Clerk provides extra bit of help
Monty Waddington, a sales clerk at Vancouver Mall, has been nominated for the Columbian's "good service" feature by Mrs. E. G. Morrison, who wrote:
"Mrs. Waddington, a clerk at Meier & Frank's 'top shop,' is just wonderful and so pleasant.
I was shopping for a blouse, but the store here did not have my size, so she called all the other Meier & Franks in the area to try and get my size. But none had it.
So she told me to get the material and she'd gladly make me one. Now isn't that remarkable from a store clerk you've never met before?
Another time I found another blouse I liked and the same thing happened - they didn't have my size. So she took my name and address and phone and then called the other stores.
Then she called me and said she'd found one and she had it sent right to the house. I didn't have to wait, go back to the store or anything.
Monty is such a lovely lady to have wait on you."
Mrs Waddington has just begun her 11th year as a Meier & Frank clerk, haing been at the Lloyd Center store until moving to the new Vancouver Mall outlet.
"I like the personal touch with the customers," she said. "I take my customers very seriously. I like my custoners."
Mrs. Waddington said she especially is happy at the Vancouver Mall store, where she said "we have one of the nicest store managers" and where the store is "personal, like a family group."
Mrs. Waddington's husband, Alvin, is a retired truck driver. A son, Jerry, 30 is in the drywall and construction business, while another son, Larry, 24, is an assistant supermarket manager.
When she is not providing special service to customers, Mrs. Waddington often is busy in her yard - specifially with flower gardening.
"Anything that blooms, I have it in my yard," she said.
In addition to all kinds of flowers, she and her husband vegetable garden on property the own in the Minnehaha district. They live in McLoughlin Heights, at 917 Topeka Lane.
