Sam Scott’s Talk on Buying at Home and Local Business People Who Deserve Your Support. Copyright 1914, by Sam. Scott IN TWELVE PARTS PART THREE Service Every business enterprise, from the breakfast foodfactory with a product of world-wide sale, to the back street bakeshop, is seeking your trade with just three arguments—price, quality, service. The one that gives most for your money and backs it with the ' best service, gets your business. The more progressive you are, the better service you demand. See how service enters into purchases from a mail order house as compared with your home merchant. " Consider a mail order. You send your money. Then- you wait* ThatVlhe-first delay. With the goods, come more delay/ Delay for the repair of damage in transit. Delay collecting claims for damage, with much letter writing. Delay assembling “knocked down” articles. Delay with final delivery to your home. If the goods don’t match or fit, or are below standard, exchange or dissatisfaction is in order-more letter writing. Again delay, inconvenience, lost temper. . ■ ' , ■4. . ; '■ - - - In case of repairs, everything stops still. More letter writing. - Again delay, inconvenience, lost temper. ■_ In case of~repairs, everything stops still. More letters. Often you can’t get a new part. The local man can’t make repairs. The whole thing is a loss. When you buy at home, you see the goods, judge their value, know they fit or match as you want. For repairs you go so the man you bought from. He knows just what to do. He takes the responsibility. t When you want what you want, when you wafit it—buy from your home merchant. He gives you service. Good service makes life worfh while.
