MILFORD Neck

ApOul Ine nrSt thing a resident of
| Milford Neck is asked, is, informa-
tiOn as to how the new concrete
road IS getting along, and when it
will be so far completed as to per-
NIT its use, even for a part of the
way. The builders are pushing the
work as rapidly as it is possible, but
is almost certain that winter will
close down before the concrete is
poured for but little over half of the
entire distance. 1t is hoped that the
weather will permit work 10 be con-
tinued into December.
The poultry crop In Milford Neck
should be larger than usual this
season, as the weather was favorable
to Matching and growing of all kinds
of poultry; especially turkeys and
fowls OF all kinds.
Since the freeze of last Sunday
the beans, tomatoes, late potatoes
and all tender vegetation, is killed
and burned black by the frost:
which was one Of the unusually ear
ly dates for a killing frost to occur.
Dry weather and lack of water in
the ponds on the marshes, has made
a very restricted feeding ground for
wild ducks and birds of a game ma
ture; for that reason it is thought
that the shooting of ducks on the
marshes along the bayshore, will not
be good this open season-which
starts today.
Rabbits and quail should be plenty |
unless the foxes destroyed the |
young of both during the summer
season.
There has been much visiting dur
ing the past week.. but much of it
was the result of the excursion
which came down the Delaware
Railroad from Philadelphia last

vantage of this were Floyd S. Short

family of Linwood, Pa, who were
with Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Abbott and
Mr.. and Mrs Whitley Short.

Mail Order Man Need Not Worry
About Keeping His Old
Customers.
|HIs FIELD NOT RESTRICTED
Local Merchant, on Other Hand, Must
Give Good Values and Service
In Order to Hold
His Trade.
tCopyright.)

NCOpyIlBHtJ
1t has been said that there Is
sucker born every minute. If this be
true, there are LAO potential custom
ers of the mail-order houses ushered
into the world every "a hours and the
number reaches total of 525, 600 every
year.
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
lmail-order houses of the big cities al
ways have new fields to exploit and
ARE not hampered in their dealings by
1.-THE necessity of pleasing all their old
customers. If the mail-order buyer
discovers that he has been "stung"
land registers vigorous kick, 1t means
nothing In the young life of the mail
order man. Why should he worry as
long as there are some 90 $685. 500 other
persons in the United States to whom
The may make his alluring appeals.
Ever Get Money Back?
Did anyone ever hear of a mail Or
der house refunding a customers
money If the customer was not salts
fled with his purchase? Don't all speak
lat once. please. The big mail order
houses In the cities expect TO receive
Ia large number of complaints from
their customers. They know that
much of the goods which they sell Will
mot come up to the expectations of the
buyers, whose ideas as TO what they
will receive have been formulated from
the pretty pictures and alluring de-
given in the catalogues.
The mail order houses prepare for
this contingency by maintaining large
corps of clerks whose sole duty IL Is
Ito answer the letters of irate Gus
TONERS. These clerks, or correspond
tents, as they are called, exercise all
their powers of caiolery in an effort
Ito appease the complaining customers,
but If this Is found to be impossible,
after an exchange of letters, the mail
lorder man has no cause for worry. His
Iliving 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
lof the neM-flsh.

Local Merchants Field Limited.


Compare the position of the mail or
der man with that of the retail mer-
chant in the small city or town. The
retail merchant has certain limited
territory from which he must draw his
trade. All his business must be done
among the same people. The buyers
to whom he can appeal for business
number only a few thousand at the
most and in some cases a few hun
bred. 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. It will profit him moth
ing to make 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 II
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 ne re-
ceives, all well and good The mail or
der man knows that the customer Is
the kind of Il man or woman who
likes to take a chance or he wouldn't
have sent in his order in the first
place. Therefore he may figure that
the customer is likely to take q second
chance even If the first does not turn
out to his liking. II the customer has
enough spirit TO make a kick, the
trained pondents in charge OF
the complaint department may be able
doesn't matter much anyway. for there
are millions of hers who may be
caught with the same bait-there is
one born every minute, you know.
II is well for the consumer to re.
member these facts If he is ever
tempted to take Il chance on the offer.
ings of the mail order house The
home merchant has something at stake
in every sale that lie makes. The mail
order man has nothing at stake. The
home merchant has everything al
stake on the maRe"r IL which he treats
his customers, fof ne cannot get Others
to take their places. The mail orde.
man has nothing at stake for ii is t.
his interest to get all that he can cut
of each sale, knowing that he may
never have another chance at that par
ticular customer.
Which is the safest man to do bust,
ness with?

Called by PinchOt
Special Session To Be Held In JanU-
airy To Deal With Anthra-
cite Problems.

Harrisburg, Pa. - al = Governor
Pinchot has summoned the state leg
islature to convene here January 10,
for it's first extra session in twenty
years.
Regulation and control of the Penn
sylvania anthracite industry and pro-
hibition enforcement are among the
subjects which he listed for con-
sideration in proclamation just
made public.
Governor Pinchot asked the legis-
lature to consider means of regulat-
ing Through an appropriate state
agency, any or all of the businesses
of producing, preparing, selling and
distributing anthracite coal for do
mestic use in Pennsylvania, and leg
islation to authorize compacts with
other anthracite consuming states and

otherwise.
The governor proposed only "addi-
tional means for enforcing the pro-
hibition amendment"
Although the governor declined to

may have to present to the gathering,
he indicated it was his desire to OBJ
tain the ideas of the people in the
anthracite region and an expression
