MANY STILL LOVE TO BE HUMBUGGED Seem Not to Mind Having *'Something Put Over" on Them the Least Bit. . PINK PAJAMAS FOR SHIRT Mail Order Houses Find it Easy to Make Substitu- tions Because of the Cost of Making Exchanges. ~ (Copyright.) It was a famous American showman who declared that the American people love to be humbugged. That saying is many years old now but sometimes it seems that there is about as much truth to 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 mail order houses in the big cities flourish it seems 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, attempts to substitute some other article of a similar nature without telling the buyer of the substitution, 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 reason is that they wouldn't do it if they could and the other is that they couldn't do it if they would. The man who buys an article over the counter and sees what he is buying before he pays for it, is pretty sure to get what he wants. But there is another class of merchants, of which the same 'thing can- not be said. A man who has been closely connected with some of the big mail Srderhatieg Jn authority for the statement that the heads of the various merchandise departments of many mail order houses have standing orders to substitute with the nearest thing they have if the articles ordered are not in stock and available for delivery. It is related that in one in- stance as a result of these instructions, a man who ordered a dress shirt from a mail order house received a pair of pink pajamas instead. It 1s easy for the mail order house to get away with this substitution of another article for the one that is ordered for the reason that to ex- change an article received from a catalogue house is a costly ubdertaking. If a mail order buyer is disappointed in his purchase, as he is very apt to be when he compares the article apon 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 express or freight charges and even if the article is exchanged as requested, the buyer is not apt to fare much better on the second attempt. The mail order houses are well awars of the fact that the majority of their customers will not go to the trouble and expense of returning an arti- ele if it does not come up to their expectations gnd as a result they can work the substitution game to their hearts' contebt. The home merchant, however, cannot do business in this way and, as has been said, the majority of them would not do it if they gould. The "Just as good" to the customer especially when the article 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. of the customer!
