( Copyright. ) A curious trait in Iruinan nature makes itself apparent very frequent- ly. That is an inclination to trust in the unknown rather than in that with which one is familiar, - A per- son is very apt to take a chance, even though he may know that the odds are 100 to ono against him, in- stead of being satisfied with lesser rewards about which there ie no pos- sibility of doubt. It Is, possibly, the faring up of the ever-present gambling instinct, but there is something more in it than that. There is in it the unexplained mailtrowp !dIP.Ie"rtme+Bneeess '[7s tine great mail order houses in the big cities. A knowledge of psychology is as important to the mail order man as a knowledge of business practices, He plays upon these tondoncies of man to take a chance, to trust in the Unknown rather than the known, to place confidence in thestrangerrather than the friend. Hope to Draw Prize. Those who buy merchandise from a mail order house are moved partly, whether they realize it or not, by that trait in their nature which prompts them to trust in the un- known rather than in that with which they are familiar. They are hoping, it may be unconscipusly, that they willdraw a prize. They do not know what they will get, for it is impos- sible for one to know what he is going to get when lie orders mer- chandise from a picture and a colored descriptions in a catalogue. He is taking a chance on the un- known. Buying merchandise from the local merchant, on the other hand, con- tains none of these elements of chance that enter into the dealings with the mail order house. When one buys a stove from the hardware store in his home town, he may get none of the thrills that come from taking a chance but he will get a stove that, will last longer and keep him warmer than the one that he might get from the mail order house and to the average individual these things are likely to be more import- ant than the thrills., Using Your Eyes.
