The EASY Mark"

| In these enlightened days it seems
strange that intelligent men and wo-
men continue to fall prey to the willy
| book agent and his ilk. Most houses
doing a business of that character deal
with their agents on d fifty per cent.
commission basis, and that is manifest
| ly a larger profit than one should pay
on most commodities.
The Seattle Spokesman Review evil
IDENTIFY has been visited by one of the
clan, for recently it's editorial page
| contained the following:
The book agent is a favorite butt
for ridicule, but the jokes that he fur
nishes are mostly on his customers
and relate to the nature and value of
the reading matter he purveys.
His strong suit is the easy-payment
plan. A wonderful set of books is
yours for only 81. They will be ship
ped Immediately, express prepaid, when
this trifiing sum is received. This dis
play of good will on the part of the
publisher is duly emphasized, and the
subsequent payments may be made
ridiculously small.
The whole arrangement is frankly
admitted by the agent to be in favor
of the purchaser. Special circum-
stances enable the publishers to make
unusual concessions. Sometimes there
are only a few sets to be sold in this
way, and the prospective customer is
informed that in order to treat all sec
tons of the country fairly a certain
number of sets have been apportioned
to each state, and that he is one of
the well-known people selected for the
honor of being permitted to purchase
the books.
The agent assumes that the favor
will not be rejected, and he straight
way presents the customary contract,
courteously indicating the proper place
to sign and asking where the books
shall be sent.
1t is possible to secure sets of the
standard authors from reputable pub
fishers on the easy-payment plan, but
of course it is an expensive method of
buying, and even more SO when the
purchase is made through an agent.
