Another LR set..

Eight women, including Ms Irwin, went into a department store to buy one item each. Each went directly to the floor where the item she needed was sold, made the purchase, and left immediately. Two items were sold on each of the store’s four floors (ground floor through fourth floor).

(1) The three women who used the escalator at least once were Elsa, Ms King, and the woman who bought the oil painting; (2) The dress and the radio were sold on the same floor; (3) The three women who used the elevator to get both up and down were Delia (who bought the lamp), Ms Long, and the woman who bought the radio; (4) Ms Nelson got her item on the fourth floor; (5) Clara did not buy the ring. She and Beth went to the same floor; (6) The three women who did not use the elevator at all were Elsa, Ms Miller, and the woman who bought the coat; (7) Helen used both the elevator and escalator; ( The woman who bought the linens went down by escalator; (9) Ms Jonas and Alice took the elevator to their different floors. Flo and the woman who bought the books took the escalator up together, since they were going to the same floor. All four rode down on the elevator at the same time and met Ms Perkins as she entered it on the ground floor; (10) The only woman to use the stairs was Ms Owens, who did not make her purchase on the third floor.

Rather than give a set of questions to solve.. here's what is to be done..

Find each woman's full name (one was named Grace), the item she bought, the floor it was sold on, and, in the cases of the women who left the ground floor and how each arrived at and left the floor of their purchase?
