Show DON'T GET BIT! IcffiflTwi ; , 1 ..' P-Well P-Well he is on the job again. Tho old familiar question of "Can I interest inter-est you in some beautiful blankets, dishes, or any of the thousands of1 .other things" which peddlers invariably invari-ably endeavor to sell to the inexpori-nced inexpori-nced buyer. .A beautiful sample is usually displayed dis-played to the prospective buyer which .is far from the quality of the goods I -.which you are sold. " A sales talk .which is built for the sale of the ar-. ar-. tide on solid steel Is memorized word for word by the peddler. How to . avoid replies given by the housewife, how tor get into the house when unwanted un-wanted and a thousand other tricks are taught to these sidewalk mer-. mer-. chants by the Jobbers who depend on .the house peddler for their business. , A recent article by the president of the New York stock exchange was very definite and specific in pointing out that the percentage of profit in .the peddler's merchandise is enormous enorm-ous and that generally products of the house to house order taker tre inferior. Neither' the peddler nor lib firm leave any money with the town which . tht-y seek to take their living out nor' . the state in which they labor. The more they sell the more local business busi-ness loses. The more local business inse.s the lower local business taxes. The lower business taxes the higher .consumers'' tases. Figure it out for yourself. In order for us all to benefit to' the greatest extent possible, we should . by all means and under every circum" stance see to it that the money which we earn is spent where it will bring tis the greatest return and also where we will have a chance to get it back I , again. - . In this fall period of heavy buying we ask our readers to give our local merchants' their opportunity to serve their needs. Try the home town man first. It's ten to one you will get satisfaction sa-tisfaction and value received. The man who own8 the store where you buy your goods will be on the Job the morning after he has sold you to guar .- antee that his article is bs he told you it was when you bought it; he will , see to it that you are made a satis fied customer so that you will give him more of your business. You will find that he handles nationally advertised ad-vertised good3 that are known for their quality and standard of price. Give your own home town merchaut the opportunity which he really is en-' en-' titled too. |
