A LIBERAL OFFER.
Its Effect Upon the Customer to Whom
Il Was Made.

Its Effect Upon the Customer to Whom
II Was Made.
A business man of Dayton. o., tells
this story of some commercial friends
of his:
A customer who bought in small
way from the wholesalers and whose
credit was not of the sort known as
gilt edged visited the city and pur-
chased a $500 bill of goods, paying
$500 in cash and giving his note for
the remaining $500.
After the transaction had been closed
and the paper and currency had chang
ed hands the customer said:
"Now, after deal of that size 1t is
customary to give purchaser q pres
ent. Come across with It,"
"We'll throw in pair Of suspen-
ders," laughed the salesman temporiz-
ingly.
"a pair of suspenders, eh. Say. quit
fooling. / really mean 1t. ! expect you
to do something In acknowledgment Of
my patronage"
The salesman went to the manager
with the problem, and the manager
said:
"Well. If he feels that way about 1t
we might encourage him bit. Well
do something that ought to please him
greatly. Give him back his $500 note.
Make him a present of his paper. That
will make him a cash customer and
raise his credit and save him money
besides"
The salesman went back, pleased to
be the bearer of such joyful tidings Of
liberality in business.
"Well. sir" he said, "we've arranged
about that present. all right. Here" !"
with flourish, sis your note. We give
1t back to you"
The customer did not seem enthusi-
astic. Instead, without looking at the
note he asked:
as it indorsed?"
"No," said the salesman In astonish-
ment.
'Then guess you better gimme the
suspenders." said the disappointed Gus
tomer.-Chicago News.
