That saying is many years old now but sometimes it seems dint there is about as much truth In it now as there was when 11, Wan first uttered. People as a rule do not like the idea of having "something put over" on them, but from the way in which the great mail order houses in the big titles Amish it seems that a great many people do not mind it a bit.. The business man who, when he gets a call for an uncle which he has not 111 stock, attempts to substitute some other article Of It similar nature with- out telling the buyer of the eubstitte ton, is "putting something over" on his ettstomer. Few retail merchants nowadays attempt to do a thing of that kind. The great majority of merchants do not do this for two'reasone. One reason Is that they wouldn't do It it they eould and the other is that they couldn't do it if they would. The man Who buys an article over the counter. and sees what he is buying before he pays or it, is pretty stare to get what he Wants.

If a mail order Weyer is disappoint- ed. in hie purchase, as be Is very apt to be when he compares the article upon Its arrival with the picture and flowery description which appeared in the catalogue, the wisest plan is to takb what he gets and-nutke the best of it for every time he sends an article back to be exchanged, he is piling up the ex- press or freight charges and even if thearticle is exchanged as requested, the buyer is not apt to fare much bet- ter on the second attempt, The man order houses are well aware of the fact that the majority of their customers will not go to the trou- ble and expense Of returning an ar- ticle if it does not come up to their expectations and ea a result they Can work the substitution. game to their • hearts' 'cootent.

The home mer- client,if he has not the article called for, rnay'oefer another with the expla- nation that it is of the same quality as the one for which the customer asked. Good merchants nowadays even hesitate to offer something "just as good" to the customer especially when the aeticle called for Is one that has become well-known and popular through the advertising' done by the manufacturer, but to attempt to make sabstitution without. the knowledge or coosetit of the customer!
