Free Marriage Bureau
Not content with merely imitating the merchandising practices of the West, a large department store in Osaka, Japan, has instituted a new native bureau has been opened in the store. Thero men and women who desire to marry may register and furnish pertinent information about themselves. Marriage in Japan usually is arranged by families, rather than by the individuals concerned, through go-be-tweens, who receive a commission foi their services. The new bureau will take over the work customarily done by the go-between. There is a business reason for the establishment of this free service. The couples who meet through the bureau will purchase their wedding outfit at the store.
