Mr. Conory was refused by the manager for a raise. And he is married as Mrs. Conory was disappointed.

With these two considerations he could not be clerk or casher and is certainly not the manager. Also buyer is a bachelor. Hence Mr. Conory is floorwalker.

Mr. Davis is the best man in wedding of Clerk and Casher. And Buyer is a Bachelor. Hence buyer is a male. Hence Mr. Davis is Buyer.

Mr. Evans and Miss. Ames had business contacts. Mr. Evans is the only person who is left and is to be married. Therefore Mr. Evans is either clerk or casher. But casher and manager are room mates. Hence Mr. Evans is clerk.

Miss Ames is to be married to clerk and so Miss Ames is casher. Only person left Miss Brown is the Manager.

Cashier - Mr. Evans
Buyer - Mr.Davis
Floor Walker - Mr. Conory
Manager - Ms.Amens
Clerk - Ms.Brown

All of Amateur's deductions were right except for the Manager & Clerk as Mr. Evans and Ms. Amens held only business relationship ( from the hints) and so obviously the clerk must be Ms.Brown and the person being left out Ms.Amens the Manager.

Miss Ames:buyer

Miss Brown :Clerk(Bride)

Mr Conory:Floorwalker

Mr Davis :Manager(Best Man)(Since davis knows Mr Evans as room mate to be his friend and best man)(Also because Cashier and Manager were roommate in college.)

Mr Evans:Cashier(Groom)(To marry Miss Brown since he has only business contact with Miss Ames)

remember room mates have to have same gender.
