Elegance in Dress Goods
Why People Buy Goods by Lail.
The enormous business of mail
order houses. is not founded on an
inherent snobbishes to peefer to buy
away from home. The system in
force in these great houses make it
eas'er cfeen to buy by mail than to
go and make personal selections in
local stores. Goods are all catalog-
ued and the descriptions are clear
and accurate. How many clerks
tell the story as well as the cata-
logue? The greatest variety is
shown in the catalogue, which is
perused in the evening at one's
leisure and in consultation with
other members of the family. The
catalogues are usually correct
arbiters of fashion and can always
be depended upon to list the latest
things. The managers for mail
order houses are men of great
ability. They keep in touch with
the people and know what they
want. The patron of a mail order
house can get the exact style and
shade and quality wanted. The
system in vogue in these houses
makes shipments prompt and the
correspondents are usually men of
business who can read human
nature in the letters they receive
and play upon the same according-
ly. Prices are usually low. Above
all, the business is advertised, and
advertised well. The mail order
house wins because the local dealer
is not • equal to his opportunity.
I%Iany retailers buy good things
and wait for the people to come in
and ask for them. The mail order'.
man uses the best descriptive talent
in advertisements and in catalogue
to tell the people exactly what his
good, are. Many retailers meet a.
customer's call for a certain thing
with the statement, "We haven't it,"
and let it go at that. The mail
order man will get things not shown
in his catalogue and say he is glad
to do it. I told a shrewd mail order
man some time ago that if I was a
retailer in a country town, I could
kill all his trade in a radius of
twenty miles .around, and he re-
marked that there would' always
be enough of the other kind of
retailers to give him a chance to do
business.
The retailer who watches the
things- advertised in' the -great
monthlies and weeklies by mail
order houses and advertises in his
own local papers the same goods,
need fear nothing from this competi-
tion. Most people would rather see
a thing before they buy it, or would
rather let the retailer order it than
do it themselves. The mail order
man, to win, must make large pro-
fits on a good many of his things,
because his method is expensive,
and the shrewd retailer who isn't
Is here in abundance. Many flatter-
ing"things are said about the stock
and prices—and most of it is said
atter
ter a. purchase has been completed.
