—1 THINK, THIS OVER
NW&BER ELEVEN,
S'o;netitnee mail order houses offer a,
leader, that is, they sell same article at
lets than cost, in order to induce buy-
aro to uaake up au order which will ire
elude many things at a great deal more
than cost. The big farm cornea out
ahead on the wholo tratneection all right
---that is what they are there for.
We beard of an experience of a cer-
tain lady the other day who thought it
would be a good scheme to simply order
the leader, the article sold at leas than
oast. The particular bargain offered
was a pair of shoes et $1 60. When the
shoes arrived there was a charge of
twenty-five cents express, whioh she
paid. After she got the shoes home; she
alisoovered that they did not fit so she
packed them up again and returned
them by express. The Arm said she
could return the geode if not Betisfac.
tory, at least that wts in the advertise.
anent. She paid another twenty -Ave
cents to return them. After waiting
about a week the new shoes arrived, and
she had to pay another (carter for ex-
press. Unfortunately, they were no bet-
ter than the first ones, as far as fit was
ooneerned. She had now paid $2.44 for
pair of $2 00 shoes, with more to fol.
low. She tried to euohange them with
a local dealer, but of course that would
not work; but while in the local store
she saw as good a pair in every respect,
Which the dealer Bold for $1,05 regularly.
She may find a lady friend to fit the
shoes. If so she may not lose more than
a dollar. If not she is out 22 44.
When a woman thinks she has obtain-
ed a bargain, she telly her friends about
it; but when the experience is not so
favorable she is apt to say nothing about
it, Moet people would rather any noth-
ing when they have got the worst of a
ileal, although they say a great deal
when they think they have got the best
of it. That is human nature, but that
is why we do not hear more about the
experiences of those who deal with mail
order hoaxes.
When yon coma to think of it, is it
not rather foolish to buy things just
from feeing a picture of them? A far-
mer would not buy a cow from a cat-
alogue, because he known something
about cows. How ranch more impor-
tant is it to see what ycu buy and know
with whom you are dealing when you
are getting something about the quality
of which you are unable to judge. The
Wingham merchant wants your trade
and he knows that the, best way to
aeoure it to be perfectly candid about
the quality of the goods he sells. He
knows more about quality than you will
ever learn unless you go into business
for yourself. If An artiole is not the
beet he will tell you so, and charge you
fairly for what you get. We cannot all
afford to buy the highest quality of
goods, but we are at least entitled to
get fair value for the money we spend
and to know just chat we are getting.
The only way we know of to accomplish
this is to buy at home, from a merchant
in whom you have confidence. In the
long run you are money in pocket by
doing so and in addition you are helping
Wingham instead of injuring it.
