The same ideas

The same ideas, of course, apply to style numbers and prices. If you happen to
work in the clothing line, and wish to remember the style numbers of, say,
dresses—associate the number to an outstanding feature of the dress. If style
#351 is a dress with a back panel, you might "see" that panel melting; melt—
351. The dress with puffed sleeves is style #3140; associate "mattress" to the
puffed sleeves, etc. The prices of the dresses can be included in the same
association. I'm giving you only one or two examples for each idea, because it is
always best for you to use your own imagination. It is entirely up to you as to
which method you will use for remembering dates and how you will asso- ciate
style numbers and prices, etc. The ideas, however, can be applied in any
business. Prices can be memorized just as anything else that has to do with
numbers. Just associate the price to the item. To avoid confusion, you might
decide to always use the basic peg words for dollars, and any other word that fits
phonet- ically, for cents. The same methods have to be used here, as for
telephone numbers and dates. You can use one word to represent three or four
digits because you'll usually know if an item is priced in the hundreds of dollars,
or not. If you had associated "maple" with book, you'd know that the price of the
book is probably $3.95, and not
