As I'd said in an earlier post,  it's not really a sales talk but a sort of 
"Team Spirit" bit of rah-rah directed at all the "salesgirls" who work at 
the stores which sell the Humming Bird line of silk stockings.

Where does the "Davenport" thing fit in here?  I know!!!!  This is an 
unrecorded Bix item...
