I THINK THIS OVER l
NUMBER TWO.
We have just received through the
assail an interesting book, and a u atten-
tive .perusal of it leads one to many
epeouletione.
The book ie the annual catalogue of
rine of the departmental ewes and mail
order home.
Before going into a detailed oritioiem
Of it, let us first give credit where credit
is tine, and say, without hesitation, that
#tet an example of the printer's art, it ie
above repro top, Tee type is good, the
vatting is perfeot, and the proofreading
hoe evidently beim well and carefully
performed. The services of expert writ-
ers of advertisements have been em-
ployed. The illustrations are nnmis-
takahly reproductions of photographs,
And every advantage bas been taken
that is known to the photographer's art.
33eautifnl women have posed for these
pictures, dressed in the garments offer-
ed for sale. Even n superficial knowl-
edge of the printing and engraving
busiuess would enable one to appreciate
the immense amount of worst required
sand the expense entailed in the prodno.
Sion of the book.
The expense entailed --that is the
point where our interest is stimulated—
that and the question which naturally
follows—who pays for it all? Litho-
graphic and photographio work is high
Priced; models of such handsome ap-
pearance and perfect build are soarce
wind charge well for their services, writ -
ere of advertisements do not work
cheaply. The quality of paper that will
properly take the impression of a fine
halftone is decidedly expensive, and
the presswork and bookbinding are not
inconsiderable items, We presume we
are justified itt coming to the conclu-
sion that the firm is not incurring this
expense without expectation of being
amply remunerated.
Another point worth considering is
that this book, we understand, is not
distributed in the city where the firm
aloes business. Customers in the city
are attracted by entirely different
means—by daily advertising and the
offering of speciol price inducements in
some particular line, the idea, being, of
course, that if a person comes to buy
some article at a bargain, he or she may
be induced to make more extensive per -
chases at the regular prices.
It is quite evident, therefore, that it
Is the mail order customer who is ex•
peeted to make the publication of this
hook profitable.
In addition to the expense of produc-
ing tide book, the firm is located in the
business section of a large city, where
the expenses of doing business are prob.
ably higher than any plane in Canada,
so that their total relative expense
seems to be altogether out of proportion
to those of the merchant doing business
fn Wiugham,
Another feature we notice in the book
is that there are offerings of a lot of
artiolee in one lot, at a speoified prioe for
the whole. In other words, people are
induced to buy many things they do not
want in order to get one or two they
do want, Is not the sending of this
book to us, as residents of Wingham,
a reflection on our intelligence, and a
still greater reflection on our looal pride
and public sprit? We strongly advise
our readers not to take the alleging pic-
ture book too seriously. Oar Wingham
merchants are quite capable of filling all
our requirements, and do so at reason-
able prices,
