MAIL ORDER '.HOLD-UP"
AND HOW 1T WORKS.

John Marchant of Ducktown priced cross
cut saw to a customer for $l.65. The
customer told him that his price was too
high, that he could buy the same saw from
a mail order house in Chicago for $l.35.
Mr. Marchant then agreed to sell him the
saw at the same price and on the same
terms and conditions that the mail order
house had priced it,
He added up the following figures and
sold the man the saw at higher.
price than he had at first asked him.
First you must pay cash for this saw
$l.35, then you must pay 35c express, &c
for money order, &c for postage, making
total of $l.75." Mr. Marshant then placed
the saw back in stock and told the customer
to come back in about in about two weeks
and get it, that being about the length of
time it would take to get the saw from the
mail.order house. Knoxville Sentinel July,
