That Mail-order Stove

Our representative found very IN
dlgnant mail-order customer at Enid
this week. The gentleman had bought
a stove of a prominent mail-order house
last winter. The stove came with a GER
tain guarantee, but according to the
usual experience the article did not
come up to the contract as to quality.
Ii seems the party in question called
upon the local hardware dealers at Enid
in quest of stove TO suit his liking
He was quoted prices as reasonable as
stoves could be purchased, but he with
drew, stating that be could get 'em Of
.ne mail order houses for half the money,
He finally 90 cB 4 - The mail order
houses and haG gotten ingloriously
soaked on his purchase. When our
representative called upon the hard
ware dealer at Enid he found the anger
ed customer attempting to make deal
with the local hardware man, by which
he could secure part payment on good
stove in exchange for the one he had Sc
cured at such handsome bargain from
the mail-order house. He said ne mad
not used the stove to exceed ten days.
This he mentioned to prove that the
stove WAS not harmed except that it
lust was no good" The principal
fault seemed to be with the lining of
the stove. The entire lining had burned
out after the fire had been built ia it
few times. The man, Who had the
appearance of being farmer. had been
ever since last fall trying to get adjust
ment out Of the mail-order concern
whereby he could secure at least part OF
his money in return, or to get another
stove TO take the place of the one which
had proven such q dismal failure.
The hardware man was standing his
ground manfully, attempting to console
the irate purchaser with the argument
that "the recollection of quality remains
long after the price has been forgotten"
He proved 20 him that 1t was money
well spent and that it should be charged
up TO experience. The customer evi.
IDENTIFY thought this rather dear exper-
fence, but it is believed he will not a.
gain indulge in the mail order stove
The dealer is handicapped continuous
ly ia III Getting the mail-order concern, be.
cause the customer buys his stove or
other items from picture or descript-
ion, whereas with the local dealer he de
mands that he see the article, test its
qualities, aud il it does not come up tc
the standard claimed for it by the dealer
he has recourse.-The Price Current.
