home paper. What would anyone
think of your business ability or
your comiuonsense if you walked' in-
to a
n-to.a more at home and said: "1 saw
a picture in the paper to -day of a
suit which I liked very much, Please
wrap up ono for ale. , here's the
money," The merchant would think
that you were crazy, but that is ex-
actly what you do every timeyou send
an order to a mail order house. You
buy "sight unseen" and you haven't
a ghost of a chance of getting your
mohey baok•if the article is unsatis-
factory when It reaches you.
How different is -the proceeding
when you go into the store in your
own home town to buy a suit of
clothes, or a stove or a yard of rib-
bon. You may have seen a picture of
it in the merchant's advertisement
in the home paper and you know
that, as the merchant is reliable, you
can count on the goods being as he
represents them in his advertisement.
But does he ask you to take his word
for everything? Does he hide the
article behind the counter and tell
you that you can't even see it until
you buy it end pay over the money
for it? Hardly. If the article is not
already in' -plain sight on the counter,
the merchant produces it for your
inspection. If it does not exactly suit
you, he has others that are a little
different and that he is glad to have
you. inspect.

(Copyright,)
When you ,were a youngster, did
you ever make a trade, "sight un-
seen?" Of course you did. What boy
has not risked his jackknife or his
Choicest marble on such a 'proposi-
tion and how often'has he repented
of his rash, deed when he discovered
what he got in the trade? He g en-
erallyloindthat lite deal turned' out
to the advantage of the . one.. who
made the proposition.
There is a little of the gambling
instinct in the blood of nearly every
man, woman and child, but even the
hardened gambler like's to get a "run
for his money." The "sight unseen"
Proposition doesn't appeal to him in
the least. There aro thousands of
people, however, who would be pro-
perly indignant if.they were accused
of being gamblers, who every day
take a chance on the greatest gam-
bling game in the world, And worse
than- that, they are risking their
money on a "sight unseen" proposi-
tion. -
When one of the thousands of per-
sons who build up and keep up the
great mail order houses of the coun-
try sends his money away to pay for
some article that he has selected
Catalogue, from the mail order
he is
taking a chance on getting what he
expects to get. The mail order house
may be perfectly honest and still the
purchaser stands a good chance of
not getting what he expects to get.
The mail order catalogues are filled
with pictures that catch the eye. The
descriptions are brief,' as they must
be when thousands of a'r'ticles are to
be described within the Confines of
one book. No matter how hard the
mail order house night try to tell
the truth, the whole truth and noth-
ing but the truth, it would be an im-
possibility. The buyer is• simply tak-
ing a chance,
Buying "Sight Unseen."
How much more satisfactory it is
Immo waazl.:lk into rao,Sstor,alninaryioiuer .ribotin
Then, if it is a suit of clothes you
are buying, or a piece of dress goods
or a pair of socks, you may ask if the
merchant will guarantee that it will
wear as long as an article of that
kind could be expected to wear and
he will tell you either that he will
guarantee it or that he will not:— If
he tells you that he will guarantee
it you will know that you will get
your money back or another suit or
another pair of socks in its place if
it doesn't wear like It should, for the
merchant, besides being an honest
roan in most cases, cannot affbrd not
to make his word goad. He is depen-
dent'upon your business and that of
others in his own community and he
cannot afford to misrepresent his
goods.
After having all this' opportunity
to see what you are buying, yea take
your suit or your stove or whatever
it is you buy home or it is sent home
for you without any delivery charges,
and after
youg
•tYte of home and take an-
other look at it and decide you don't
want it after all, you send it back.
You are not buying something
"sight unseen" whenou buy from
your house merchant. You don't look
at a picture of an article in a news-
paper, read a short description of it,
go to the post office and buy a money
order and send it to the merchant,
with the instructions, "Send me a
suit of clothes"—or a stove or what-
ever it may 'be—"and I'll pay your
delivery man 50 cents for delivering
it to me."
There's a world of difference in the
two methods of doing business and
its not hard to figure out which is
the best for the man who is doing
the buying.
