HOW TO OUT-FOX A FOX
square . . but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll sell you that
hoe `mail order' style."
"Let me get this right, Willard, you'll sell me this here
hoe for just what it'd cost me by mail?"
"For you, Jonas, I will."
"It's a deal!" Jonas barked, before Willard could back
down. "Here's your $3.49," He grabbed the hoe and
started for the door.
"Hold on, Jonas, you owe me just a little more money,"
Willard said quietly.
"How so?" Jonas wanted to know.
"Well, said Willard, and he started to grin . "it'd
cost you 15 cents for a stamp to send in your order. That's
$3.64 right there.
As Jonas started to turn purple, Willard went on . . .
"and then it'll cost you $1.20 more return postage from
Chicago on your hoe. That's $4.84 and that's what you
owe me."
Ever see a fox in a trap? He'll look everywhere for a
hole to sneak out of. But, Willard had plugged every hole
. and old Jonas was caught fast. He knew it, too.
Jonas was breathing a little hard as he hammered $4.84
down on the counter. Willard thanked him, nice as could
be.
Once more Jonas reached for the hoe.
"Git your hands off that hoe, Jonas!" Willard said. lie
was grinning again. "You know darn well what kind of
service you get from direct mail outfits!"
Willard took the hoe out of Jonas' stunned fingers, and
laid it back on the shelf. "Come in two weeks from now,
Jonas, and you can have it!"
Old Jonas McGuillicuddy was as shrewd as a fox with
sixteen college degrees, including one from Harvard. He
took great pride in bragging far and wide how he could
stretch a dollar bill further than anybody.
Jonas was a farmer, and a good one. As careful with
his tools and equipment as a mother cat with her kittens.
But . . . one day he broke the handle out of his garden
hoe . . , went to town to look for a new one , . , and ain't
been the same ever since . .
Jonas bought most of his hardware stuff from a guy
named Willard Davis. He'd run the store for thirty years,
and knew everybody for miles around. Awful quiet
fellow. Wouldn't get excited if his hair caught on fire,
"Need a hoe, Willard," Jonas said. "Whataya got in a
good hoe for not too much money?"
Willard hauled out three hoes and laid 'em on the
counter. Before he could say a word, Jonas picked up one
and remarked that it was just like his old hoe.
"How much?" Jonas wanted to know.
"$3.79," said Willard.
"Too much," said Jonas.
"Ohl" said Willard.

"Too much," repeated Jonas. "Why I can get the same
darn hoe exactly from Whoozis and Whatzis for $3.49,
'cause I looked in their catalog before I came to town.
That's a whole 30 cents cheaper than your price!"
Willard didn't say anything for a minute. Just chewed
a couple of times on his pipe.
Finally he said, "Jonas, I ain't going to argue with you.
You're a good customer. My price of $3.79 is fair and

The moral of this story is Simple . . . always remember
ALL the EXTRA COSTS and DELAYS when you look at a
price.
You are probably smarter than either Jonas or the
proverbial fox. So . . . be quick to realize that 9
times out of 10 you're money ahead buying from local
Stores . . . despite the pretty picture and pretty words .
These are just a few of the reasons . . .
1. SEE, PEEL, or TRY ON what you buy BEFORE
you pay for it.
2. No EXTRA expenses like postage, money orders;
etc.
3. No LONG WAITING for your purchase to arrive.
4. BETTER SERVICE, alterations, exchanges, in-
stallation, etc.
And . you may want to remember that mail order
companies pay no taxes in our town or county, while local
merchants share your tax load.
Mail order houSes make no contribution of time or
money to local drives and campaigns, some of which
YOU may work on. Your home town Merchants Dot
