Influenced by an Alluring Picture Book I For a Time—Yards of Red Tape Used —Buying From a Picture Albym Ie a Reckleae Form of Gambling See the Goods Before Purchaee. : (Copyrighted. 191A by Thomas J. Sullivan.l , Figures do not always indicate the , price of goods sold by mail order houses as scheduled in their price lists. i as the catalogue houses are careful I not to mention the “extra” cost iuci- । dental to placing the order and the de I livery of the article ordered I The consumer is governed by the low catalogue price tather than the delivery cost, the latter means, of course, beiug the correct way of deter minlug the cost of the article. Canaumar Buya Coatly Saw. As an example 1 reproduce berewgh a conversation which recently took place In a western town when a con i I suuier entered tbe local store and in I 1 qutred the price of a saw The prb e ! of the saw was $2. the merchant tuld I him “Great gqas!" declared tbe cooaum ।er "I can get tbe same article from ( a catalogue bouse for $1.50." “1 can't buy It for that price." said tbe merchant, "but I will give it to yon on tbe same terms as tbe mail ordei house, just the same.’’ "All right.” replied tbe cousumei . "You can wrap It up and charge ft to me. and when I settle In tbe fall 1 will pay for it.” “Hand Over the Cash." “Ob. no. you don't." said tbe dealer ' "We are doing business ou tbe same terms as you jy business with the mat order bouse- nacWfftbfccounts Hand I over tbe ' asC. please " .w “> • • Tbi?"cNßWH!erbanJ«l over $1 50 I “Now." said the merchant. "5 cents । for the money order and 2 cents for piwtnge.’ . —yje" l - , Mhht tbe •' —— I “But you must send a letter and a money order to the catalogue bouse In , ! order to get the saw. you know.” The consumer, although desiring tv I bolt, kept bravely to bls agreement and paid tbe 7 cents ’Now tbe express charges. So cents, if you please." "Well, by graclousl" he said and gamely paid it. with the remark. “Now that 1 have met all of your demands | hand me over my saw ” Man Mads Mistake. •Hand von the saw' Why. man. "Baud you the saw' Why. man. I where do you think you are? Just re< ollect that you are in Texas and I am located iu Chicago. You will bare to ' wait about fifteen days for me to make tbe delivery And. backing up his words with actions, he pocketed the I money, put the saw tmek on the shelf and smilingly turned to wait on tbe next customer. | The consumer pondered, and after be got through with his deductions be । said. Tbe saw will cost me $2 03 ! That is 3 cents more than 1 could have ' bought it for iu the first place, and I 1 am deprived of its use for fifteen days | I besliles No more mall order house for ; me!" Incident Worthy of Emulation. ! The incldenl related above is one which both tin- men bant and the < < n . sumer may read w ith profit, and If I more of tbe merchants adopted the I ' same tactics as did the Texas mer ’ chant they would have fewer mail or ■ i der buyers among those who should be I their customers | And there Is much more to this | I question tliau price and delivery; there ' are often ili<satlsfn<ti"ii ami Inferior ■ and damaged gisais to contend with In I the ease of missis lielng damaged en ’ route the buyer lias either the prospect of a lawsuit with the railroad com | | pany or a correspondence tight with i I the catalogue house neither of which । I is very Inviting i Not infnvjnently does the buyer I ; rnther than to go to all tbe expense : and trouble lie idental tn the exchange of the article, allow himself to tie Im i posed U|M»II by accepting the Inferior I and often valueless article, an article which he Is actually ashamed to own or use The Only Safe Way. There can lie but one right way- to buy goods, nm! that Is to have tbe go*als in view of tbe purciiaser. Huy Ing from a picture la a reckless form of gambling in which the advantage is entirely with the seller He knows what ymir money Is You do not know what bls gissls are. Hence it Is heads he wins and tails you lose That the catalogue house always gets the better of tbe bargain is evidenced by tbe fact that annually the large mail order houses declare dividend* tbe enormity of which appalls and be Wilders the conception of ordinary In dlrldnals who con nt their profits and savings In pennies rather than In mil fion« There Is hilt one right way to buy goods and that way Is to see what yon hoy before you par for It.
