BOOZER CENTRE HALL, PA. love to be humbugged. That saying is many years old now but sometimes it seems that there about as truth in it now as there was when It was first uttered. People as a rule do not like the idea of having “something put over” on them, but from the way in which the great mall order houses in the big cities flourish it seerns that a great many people do not mind it a bit The business man who, when he gets a call for an article which he has not in stock, other article of a similar nature with out telling the buyer of the substitu tion, Is “putting something over’ on his customer. Few retail merchants nowadays attempt to do a thing of that kind. The great majority of merchants do not do this for two reasons, One ronson is that they wouldn’t do it if they could and the other is that they | eouldn’t do it if they would.

If a mall order buyer is disappoint. ed in his purchase, as he Is very apt to be when he compares the article upon its arrival with the picture and flowery description which appeared in the catalogue, the wisest plan is to take what he’gets and make the best of it for every time he sends an article back | to be exchanged, he is piling up the ex- | press or freight charges and even if | the article i exchanged as requested, | the buyer Is not apt to fare much bet- | ter on the second attempt. The mall aware of the order houses are weil fact that the majority of the ir customers will not go-to the trou- ble and expense of returning an ar- | ticle if. it does’ not come up to their | expectations and ns au result they ean work the substitution game to their { hearts’ content. | The home merchant, however, can- | not do business in this way and, as has | heen sald. the majority of them would not do it if they could. The home mer- oat, if he has not the article called | for, may offer another with the expla- ! nation that it is of the same quality fas the one for which thé customer asked. Good merchants nowadays even hesitate to offer something “just as good” to the customer especially when the article ealled for is one that has become well-known and popular | through the advertising done by the manufacturer, but to attempt to make a substitution without the knowledge or consent of the customer! Well, it | 1sn't being done by the local merchants today. Substitution Made Easy.
