MORE REASONS GIVEN BELOW (Continued from page 3) | fort to my hearts content.XTrue I can’t see what I in selecting but theres a fairly good illustration and ; discription, the price is there in l plain black and white and better than all I’d rather return the whole of a SI,OOO order to a mail order house, marked unsatisfactory than return one dollars worth here at home. Why? Well search me! I don’t know just why I’d rather, neither do you but both of us would and you know it. A friend of mine had this experience a few weeks ago. A young lady bought a $3.50 waist in Goshen, eighteen miles away and found by trjing it on it at home that it was two sizes two small. This discovery was made after she had had it a week and on the evening of her depaiture to the far west to be gone several months, she left the waist with my friend, who advanced the $3.50 and promised to return it. Numerous cause\ prevented my friend making thh return for two more weeks and this is what she said, “Yes they took ii back but of course it had been out of the store three weeks and you know I just couldn’t have the nervtto ask for that $3 50 so I took $2.00 of white yarn instead, though I really didn’t need it and I did need the money.’’ And that store le her do it. . My friends I ordered a SSO sui from a New York mail order house. Didn’t like it, got sick the same day. (maybe the suit made me sick I don’t know,) was sick five weeks convalescent two weeks and returned that suit the eight week i without having to feel humiliatec as if I’d been caught in the of shop lifting, as one invariable feels if they try to return or exchange J goods at home. The above transi action cost me nothing but postage lon mv letters as they paid- v*»e | charges both ways. Just one mon of my own experiences which ma\ aid you in ascertaing why we don’ all buy at home. This happenet once to me and has caused m> family many a hearty laugh. I bought for 10c and carried carefully home from Chicago an earthen ware pitcher to find that my neighbor next door had bought a nicer one at K. & W. Ligonier, our home town at that time for the same price. But tbo my family laugh at me I can’t quite see the joke as they do yet. for my friend just happened to go in there after a box of carpet tacks and fortunately stumbled onto a bargain for K- & W. hadn’t told neither her nor me they had pitchers like that for 10c and Marshall Field did tell me in a great big newspaper ad which I couldn’t miss seeing, that they would sell their’s that day in the basement. To sum it all up Mr. Editor if I could sit down by my own fireside these snowy zero days and do my Christmas shopping from we’ll just say the Syracuse Journal with an extra page or two added just to room for all of its Syracuse merchants advertised bargains containing a brief discriptin or ma* be a cut of the articles assuring me by marked prices that they were just as good and cheap as can be purchased elsewhere. That promptly > n rec ipt of u.iy order accompanied ■ by cash the g >ods would be sent ,■ m Q , that should they prove unsaiis-; factory they would exchange or re- j fund my monev cheerfully and : promptly, why I’m quite sure I’d . much rather buy in Syracuse than in Chicago or New York, especially if I knew that the Syracuse merchants preferred buying of me so long as I furnished the thingy they needed that were just as good,Must as cheap and that could be returned to me and their money back if they t didn’t suit. If we really mean as we say that tome interests must be thought of first we must have hearty cooperadon with all buyers and sellers without distinction before that becomes effect we and also a lot of ; us will have to drop our great big bundle of selfishness, think a little bit of the other fellows interests as well as our own and stop marching under the old banner of “Every fellow for himself and the D—l take ; the hindmost.” —GERBELLE and NEVER FAIL ! are the happy results of good milJliiML They are the sure Flours.
