HALF MILLION
SUCKERS BORN
EVERY SEASON
Mail Order Houses Thrive Be-
cause Dissatisfied Customers
Are Lost In Sea Of Many
Fishes.
(Copyright.l

1t has been said that there is a
sucker born every minute. If this be
true, there are 400 potential custo
mers of the mail order houses ushered
into the world every "a hours and the
numbers reaches a total of $4,000
every yeaI.
OF course. as Mark Twain remarked
regarding reports of his death, these
figures may be exaggerated, but they
serve to illustrate the fact that the
mail order houses of the big cities al
ways have new fields to exploit and
are not hampcred in their dealings by
the necessity of pleasing all their old
customers. If the mail order buyer
discovers that he has been "stung"
and registers vigorous kick, it means
nothing in the young life Of the mail
order man. Why should he worry as
long as there are some 1905, 800 other
persons in the United States to whom
he may make his alluring appeals.
Ever Get Money Back7
Did anyone ever hear of mail or
der house refunding customer
money if the customer was not salts
fled with his purchase? Don't all
speak at once, please. The big mail
order houses in the cities expect to
receive large number of complaints
from their customers. They know
that much of the goods which they
sell will not come up to the expecta
tons Of the buyers. whose ideas "a
to what they will receive have beer
formulated from the pretty pictures
and alluring descriptions given in tho
catalogues.
The mail order houses prepare 70,
this contingency by maintaining
large corps of clerks whose sole dut,

toners. These clerks. or correspond
ents, as they are called, exercise all
their powers of cajolery in an effort
to appease the complaining customers
but if this is found to be impossible
after an exchange of letters, the mail
order man has no cause for worry. His
living is not dependent upon the Gus
toner to whom he has already sold
goods. There are as good fish in the
sea as have ever been caught" and he
turns his attention toward the landing
of the new fish.
Local Merchants Field Limited.
Compare the position of the mail
order man with that of the retail mer-
chant in the small city or town. The
retail merchant has a certain limited
territory from which he must draw his
trade. All his business must be done
day after day and year after year
among the same people, The buyers
to whom he can appeal for business
number only few thousand at the
most and in some cases few hun
dred. Unless he can make his Gus
toners his friends and bring them
back to his store again. he cannot con
tinue in business The result is that
he looks beyond the single sale which
he may be making at the time 1t is
to his interest to please every one of
his customers. 1t will profit him
nothing to make a big profit off a
customer on one sale if that customer
is not satisfied with his purchase and
refuses to come back to his store
again.
From which man can the buyer ex-
|pect to get the best values, the best
service and the best prices in proper
ton to the quality of the goods sold ?
From the man who must please him
and give him his moneys worth in or
der to remain in business or from the
man who figures that he may never
hear from the buyer again and that i,
will make no great difference whether
he pleases him or not?
Gets 1t While He Can.
The idea upon which the mail order
man works is to get the money while
the getting is good If the customer
is satisfied with the goods which he
receives, all we'll and GOOD The mai
order man knows that the custome,

.POPF'S CELEBRATION
IS GORGEOUS FEIE.

Rome, Feb. s.-Pope Benedict XV
celebrated his fifth anniversary OF
his coronation with a brilliant pom
tfical mass in the Sistine Chapel of
the Vatican. All the corridors thru

were lined with tribunes in which
stood thousands of spectators who
could not gain admission to the
chapel most Of which was reserv-
ed for the members Of the ecclesias-
teal and lay households. the dipl0-
mats accredited to the Vatican, and
the members of the Swiss, Palatine
and noble guards who participated
in he professional.

uniformed chairbearers and wore
heavily jeweled triple gold crown
and white robe lightly embroider-
ed with gold. Scores of cardinals,
archbishops. bishops and patriarchcs
preceded and followed him. The red
and purple robes of these dignitar-
les were In striking contrast to the
black velvet uniforms and white col
lars Of many members of the lay
court who were dressed in Spanish
style.
Cheering greeted the Pope as he
passed through the corridors. He was
assisted in the mass by several car
dinals and a male choir of SO voices
which sang without instrumental ac-
compartment At the conclusion of
the mass. which lasted about an
hour, the Pope was carried ceremon-
iously back to his apartments and
again greeted by applause from the
crowds.

CARE OF THE HANDS

A woman who does her own house,
work can have as good looking hands
as one who never touches a dish or
has to keep her hands in water.
Extra care. Of course. is necessary.
She can have her hands in water
without injury to them if she will
take the pains to dip them in vine
gar or lemon juice right after. The
acids DESTROY the corrosive effects
of the alkali and make the hands
soft and white.
Another effective remedy is to rub
the hands well in dry oatmeal after
every washing. just take up a small
handful Of the meal and run through
and over the hands. 1t is not nee
essary to use fresh every time. Stains
can be removed from the hands by
rubbing them with piece of lemon
peel. The hands should be carefully
dried each time after being in water
or after washing them. Take five
minutes a day to care for the hands
and nails and your hands will be soft,
white and have that well-kept look
we all desire.
