What Actually Happened In Memphis

He was as green in business as his face. was black. His feet bore evil
dence OF where he raised his cotton. His hands showed the signs of the
hard work he had done. He wanted an organ. An organ for his little
cabin home. We can imagine now the little single room cabin. Made out
of logs. Decorated between the cracks with dried mud. The days
work over. he is playing the organ. Numerous alligator bait sit enrap-
tured with the quaint negro melodies. The mother of said bait sewing
beside the one coal oil lamp, happy as can be. For some reason he had
come to our store (te o. X. HOuck Piano Co.. to buy. One of our en-
terprising statesmen fastened to wait on him. A fine, brand new organ
was shown to him. Also a splendid secondhand organ with mirror and
everything. Price of each $5. He bought the secondhand organ.
Paid 1856 in real money to our cashier. Went home and began waiting
for the coming JOY. The salesman who waited on him beat the draft on
account of bum eyes. The price tag on the second hand organ looked
like $S5, the same as the new organ. 1t was really $5. The salesman
found 1t out after the customer left. We had his $85. He had bought
the organ at that price. Was satisfied. Should we do nothing. With
out hesitation the customer was entitled to $50 back. To keep it. would
be nearly, but not quite, stealing $50, At least under the one-price svs-
tenn. Selling the same goods at various prices would permit keeping the
$50 without violating commercial honesty ~, We wrote him. Hp
came and got tha $50. He did not drop dead. He knows now what "one
price" means. He knew nothing about organs. He only got a SQUARE
deal. We believe in the ne-price system.

Why We Do Not Pay Commissions

When you ask some friend to help you select a piano and do not pur-

that nine times out OF ten that friend will receive a commission from

II he was allowed the 10 per cent discount anyhow, the cash Gus
toner then does not receive what he is entitled to.
We can see only one fair way to all, and that is: Quote goods at the
spot cash price and charge 6 per cent interest when not paid cash.
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-03-12

There ia no middle ground, An establishment Is either one price or
1t is not one price. The slightest deviation from quoted or published
prices or a discount for cash is an indication that the proclaimed
one price policy Is not adhered to.
We believe in the one price policy because it seems the only ethical
way to conduct a piano business.
We believe In the one price policy because 1t means satisfied patrons.
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-03-12

Paying commissions prevents the lowest prices being given and
most instances causes recommendations OF friends or acquaintanc
for revenue only. Purchased recommendations Is injustice to in,
cent victims.

salIsIod palfohs are great advertlsers, and that means increased
patronage.
We believe in the one price policy because increased patronage makes
greater volume OF business.
We believe in the one price policy because a great volume Of busi-
ness means lower selling cost.
