BARTLIFF, Baker NEW ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE' Mail Order Man Need Not Worry About Keeping His Old Customers. SIS FIELD .i10T RESTRICTED Weal Merchant, ou Other Hand, Must Give Good Values and Service In Order to Hold His Trade. (Copyright.) It has been said that there is a sucker born every minute. If this be true, there are 1,490 potential cus- tomers of the mail-order houses ush- ered into the world every 24 hours and the number reaches a total of 525,600 every year. , Of course, as Mark Twain remark- ed regarding reports of Ms death, these figures may bo exaggerated, but they serve to illustrate the fact that the mail-order houses of the .big cities always have new fields to ex- ploit and are not hampered in their dealings by the necessity of pleasing all their old custoniers. If the mail- order buyer discovers that he has been "stung" -and registers a vigorous kick, it means nothing -in the young !rife of tfie mail-order man._ '" The'niail order houses prepare for this contingency by maintaining large corps of clerks whose solo duty it Is to answer the letters of irate cus- tomers, These clerks, or correspon- dents, as they aye called, exercise alt their powers of cajolery in an effort to appease the complaining custom- ers, but if this is found to be im- possible, after an exchange of letters, t,,.e mail order• man has no cause.fnr upon the customer i,a wlidiuJie has already pelt' goods. "There are as good fish In the sea es have ever beeu caught" and he turns lits attention toward the landing of the new fish. Local iV1<or•ehant's 1iield Limited, Compare the position of the mail order man with that of the retail merchant in the small city or town. Tho retail merchant has a certain. limited territory from which he must dfaw his trade. A11 his business must be done day after day and year after year among the same people. 'rhe buyers to whom he can appeal for business number only a few thousand at the moot and in some eases a few hundred. Unless are can make his customers his friends and bring them back to his store again, he can- not continue in business. The result is that he looks beyond the single sale which he play be making at the time, It is to his interest to please every one of his customers. It will profit him nothing to make a big pro- fit off a customer on one sale if that customer is not satisfied with his purchase and refuses to come back to his store again, From which man can the buyer expect to get the best values, the best service and the best prices in propor- tion to the quality of the goods sold? From'the man who must please him and give him his money's worth in order to remain in business; or from the man who figures that he may never hear from the buyer again and that it will make no great difference whether he pleases him or not? - Gets It While He Can. The idea upon which the mail order man works is to get the money while the getting is good. If the cus- tomer is satisfied with the goods whlch he receives, all well and good. The mail order man knows that the customer is the kind of a mau or woman who likes to take a chance or he wouldn't have sent in his order in the first place. Therefore he may figure 'that the customer is likely to take a second chance even if the first does not turn out to his liking. 1f the customer has enodgh spirit to make a kick, the trained correspon- dents in charge of the complaint de- partment may be able to pacify ]rim. If they are not, it doesn't matter much anyway, for there are millions of others who may be caught with the same bait—there Is one born every minute, you know. It is well for the consumer to re- member these facts if he is ever tempted to take a chance on the of- ferings of the mail order house, Tho home merchant. has something at stake in every sale that he makes. The Mall order man has nothing at stake. The home merchant has every- thing at stake on the manner in which he treats his customers, for he cannot get others to take their places, The mail order man has noth- ing at stake, for it is to his interest to get all that he can out of each sale, knowing that are may never have another' chance at that particular customer. ustneWhich Is the safest man to do busi- ness ss with?
