THE MAILORDER CATALOG.
If a man will come to me with a mail oriLcr catalog I
will ,liow him when- 1 c.in save him niottev on anv article we
have in our house.”
This statement wa- ina.Le |,v D. E. Hille* of the Hillea-Finnev
llarilw ire company. It illustrate* how patron* of mail order
hoiw. are, "bunked" when they think thev are getting some-
thing cheap.
Some people buy from a mail order house lierause they
think they are saving money; other* Liecause it sound, “lug”
to say they purchased this or that in Ran,*, City or Chicago.
According to Mr. (lilies, if every merehant would keep a
catalog of every mail order house in the country in Liis store
he urould find it a good asset. People don’t know fabrics, hard-
ware or other goods like th*1 man who ha* made thehi his life
study.
They frequently imagine they are buying something cheap
when it really ia more expenxive, quality considered ami price
paid, than a better quality article or piece of goods would cost,
bought from a Sapulpa merchant.
The mail order house*, which are doing a large business in
Sapulpa, are like the leach or die cootie—living off the body
without contributing anything to it except dissatisfaction.
The next time you contemplate purchasing anything from a
mail order house, mark the article, go to a Sapulpa merchant
who handles it, and let him tell you the difference.
