The purpose of this project was to present a guide for students to follow in compiling product information and presenting it in the written form of a Merchandise Information Manual. A thirteen-page introduction includes such information as purposes, planning the manual, choosing the topic, rules and specifications, arrangement, footnote and bibliographic information, and a note to teachers. The rest of the document is a Merchandise Information Manual on sterling silver prepared by Nancy Timmerman, a distributive education student, and presented as an example for students preparing similar products.
