EXAGGERATION A REL
ALIVE TO FALSEHOOD

copyrighted. 1914. by Thomas ]. Sullivan.
OF all the evil spirits abroad in the
land deception is the most dangerous
II is the first and worst OF all frauds.
Exaggeration is a blood relative tt
falsehood and nearly as blamable
Some men and some business concerns
can never state an ordinary fact in
ordinary terms. All their geese are
swans till you see them.
There is no strength in exaggeration.
Even the truth is weakened by being
expressed too strongly.
Mankind in the gross is a gaping
monster that loves to be deceived and
has seldom been disappointed. They
say that idiots only may be cozened
twice, but how about the mail order
buyers? How often are they deceived
by the large catalogue houses?
Who does not remember the sight
unseen" trades or Swaps" OF boyhood
days? One of the parties in the trans
action usually got the worst of it,
didn't he? And as a rule Ii wasn't
the one who proposed the deal, was 1t?
There is lot of the same sort OF
sight unseen trading going on to
day, only nowadays it is called mer-
chandising by mail.
The illustrations in the catalogues OF
the retail mail order houses look invit-
ing. The reading matter sounds nice,
and sometimes the deal turns out all
right.
But, even supposing 1t does, where
in is the buyer any better off than il
he bought from the home merchant
Take any article you choose from the
long list of things sold by mail and
you will fad upon investigation that
you can buy it just as cheaply and
just as well at home. The expense Of
selling it by mail is just as great as
the expense OF selling IL over the coun-
ter.
The city people would go wild with
Joy IL these mail order houses actual
ly had values with style and quality
They would not need to leave their
own large cities to sell at the prices
they quote, as the city people would
swoop down upon their bargains like
hungry hen hawks on green goslings.
But with style and value lacking they
do not dare show their goods In the
city where the prospective customers
would have the opportunity of com

exaggerated description they make the
