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

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

not do it if they could. The home mer-
