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 cholce#it mar-
ble on such a proposition and how oft-
en has he repented of his rash deed
when he discovered what he got in the
trade?
deal turned out to the advantage of
the one who made the proposition.
There Is a little of the
woman and child, but even the hard-
ened gambler likes to get a “run for
his money.” The
osition doesn’t appeal to him in the
least. There are thousands of people,
however, who would be properly indig-
nant if they were accused of being
gamblers, who every day take a chance
world. And worse than that, they are

| when thousands of articles are to be
| described within the confines of one
| book. No matter how hard the mall
| the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, it would be an Impossibility.
| The buyer |s 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 vour
common sense it you walked aio a
store at home and said: “I saw @
picture in the paper today of a sul,
{| 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 do every time you send an order
to a mall 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 store in your
own home town to buy a sult 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 you that you can't
| even see it until you buy it and pay
i 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 yod, he has others that
are a little different and that he is glad
{ to have you inspect.

Then, If it Is a sult of clothes you
are buying, or a plece of dress goolls
| 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 cither 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 sult or another pair of socks

merchant. You don't look at u picture
of an article in.a newspaper, read a
office and buy a money order and send
it to the merchant with the instruc
