“SIGHT UNSEEN” TRADE IS GAMBLE

Consumer Takes' Long Chance When He Buys From the Mail Order House. GENERALLY IS LOSING GAME Method of Doing Business Is Very Different When You Purchase Goods From Your Home Merchant. (Copyright.) When you were a youngster, did you ever make a trade, “sight unseen?” Of course you did. What boy has not risked his jackknife or his choicest marble on such a proposition and how often has he repented of his rash deed when he discovered what he got in the trade? He generally found that the 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, put even the hardened gambler likes to get a “run for his -money.” The “sight unseen” proposition doesn’t appeal to him in the least. There are thousands of people, however, who would be properly indignant if they were accused of being gamblers, who every day take a chance on the greatest gambling game in the world. And worse than that, they are risking their niQney on a “sight unseen” proposition. When one of the thousands of persons who build up and keep up the great mail order houses of the country sends his money away to pay for some article that he has selected from the mail order catalogue, he is taking a chance on getting what he expects to get. The mall 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 articles are to be described within the confines of one book. No matter how hard the mail order house might try to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, It would be an impossibility. The buyer is simply taking a chance. Buying “Sight Unseen.”

How much more satisfactory It Is to walk into a store in your home town and ask to see an article which you may have seen advertised in your home paper. What would anyone think of your business ability or your common sense if you walked into a store at home and said: “I saw a picture in the paper today of a suit which I liked very much. Please wrap up one for me. Here’s the money.” The merchant would think that you were crazy, but that is exactly what you dp every time you send an order to a mail order house. You buy “sight unseen” and you haven’t a ghost of a chance of getting your money back if the article is unsatisfactory when it reaches you. How different is the proceeding when you go into the storP in your own home town to buy a suit of clothes, or a stove or a yard of ribbon. 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 that you can’t even see it until you buy it and pay over the money for it? Hurdly. 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. Get Merchant’s Guarantee. 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 man in most cases, cannot afford not to make his word good. He is dependent 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, you 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 you get home and take another look at it and decide you don’t want it after all, you send it back. You are not buying something “sight unseen” when you buy from your home merchant. You don’t look at a picture of an article in a newspaper, 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 whatever it may be—“and Hi pay your delivery man 50 cents for delivering it to me.” There’s & world of difference In the two methods of doing business and its not hard to figure out which is the best tor the man who is doing the buying. .
