MANY PUT TRUST
IN THE UNKNOWN
Never Satisfied With Thos
Things With Which They
Are Familiar.
INCLINED TO TAKE CHANCE
Curious Traits in Human Nature Haws
Made Possible Growth and Devel-
opment of the Great Mail
Order Houses. F
(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.!
A curious trait in human nature
makes itself apparent very frequently
That is an inclination to trust in the
unknown rather than in that witk
which one is familiar. A person is
very apt to take a chance, even thougl
he may know that the odds are 100 fc
one against him, instead of being satis
fied with lesser rewards about whic*
there is no possibility of doubt.
It is, possibly, the flaring up of the
ever-present gambling instinct ui
there is something more in it than nat
There is in it the unexplained ten
dency on the part of most people tc
reach for the chimerical and ignore
the tangible and substantial thing
which is near at hand. Man is sel
dom satisfied with those things tha:
are within his grasp but is reaching
always for the unattainable. Too of:
ten, he loses that which he might eas
ily gain by blindly pursuing that whie”
is always just out of his reach.
Why “Con” Man Thrives.
Coupled, in a way, with his faith ir
the unknown is the tendency on the
part of so many people to place con
fidence in a stranger in preference tc
one who is known and has been trie
and proven. It is this tendency whick
makes possible the operations of the
“con” man, the get-rich-quick artist
the unscrupulous promoter and the
salesman of worthless mining stocks
The man who would not think of
trusting Bill Jones, his next-doo:
neighbor and fellow church member
will confidingly turn over his lifes
savings to a stranger who unfolds 8
tale of riches to be won. Bill Jones
might talk his head off in behalf of @
legitimate proposition without getting
a dollar where the slick stranger with
the worthless propositica can get thou
sands.
It is these two tendeacies which, ap
parently, are so widely prevalent
among all classes of people that have
made possible the success of the great
mail order houses in the big cities.
A knowledge of psychology is as im-
portant to the mail order man as a
knowledge of business practices. He
plays upon these tendencies of man
to take a chance, to trust in the un-
known rather than the known, to place
confidence in the stranger rather than
the friend. :
Hope to Draw Prize.
Those who buy merchandise from
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 unknown rather
than in that with which they are fa.
miliar. They are hoping, it may be un-
consciously, that they will draw a prize,
They do not know what they will get,
for it is impossible for one to know
what he is going to get when he or-
ders merchandise from a picture and
a highly colored description in a cata-
logue. He is taking a chance on the
unknown. :
Buying merchandise from the loca
inerchant, on the other hand, contains
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 im-
portant than the thrills.
Using Your Eyes.
When you buy from the local mer
chant you see the thing that you are
buying, you inspect it carefully, ex-
amine the workmanship and the qual-
ity of the material of which it is made
and in many cases you have the privi-
lege of testing it before paying for it.
You have not only your own eyes and
knowledge of values to rely upon, but
you have the advantage of the advice
of the merchant who has an expert
knowledge of the merchandise which
he is selling and who, in 99 cases out
of 100, can be relied upon to tell the
truth about it. Then you have the
guarantee that is backed not only by
the retail merchant, but in many cases
by the manufacturer. If the article
which you buy does not prove satisfac-
tory after it is given a fair test, you
can take it back to the store where
you bought it, in most cases, and get
your money back. The retailer may
get his money back from the manu-
facturer but if he doesn’t, he stands
the loss. In any event, you are pro-
tected.
Why a person will place his confi-
dence in a stranger rather than a
friend or will trust in the unknown
rather than in that which is tangible,
is something that is hard to under-
stand. Even the mail order house does
not pretend to know why it is so but
it accepts conditions as it finds them
and makes the most of the oppor-
tunities that they offer.
