KIDDIES' CAMP DEBT CLEAR

At the meeting of Trades Council
the other night, Jack Scheaf, general
chairman of the kiddies' camp COM
mittee, reported that the boxing show
was a big success financially and that
all debt on the camp was now clear
ed up. This was good news, espe-
cially to the trade unionists to whom
the camp is very close to the heart.
The movement will now go on to
make the camp of more permanent
nature, with organized labor backing
every move.

MANY STILL LOVE
TO Be HUMBUGGED
Seem Not to Mind Having "Some-
thing Put Over" on Them the
Least Bit.
PINK PAJAMAS FOR SHIRT
Mail Order Houses Find II Easy to
Make substitutions Because OF
the Cost of Making
Exchanges.
(Copyright.)

(Copyright)
1t was famous American Snowman
who declared that the American people
love to be humbugged. That saying Is
many years old now but sometimes 1t
seems that there is about as much
truth In 1t now as there was when II
was first uttered.
People as rule do not like the idea
of having something put over on
them, but from the way In which the
great mail order houses In the big
cities flourish 1t seems that great
many people do not mind it bit.
The business man who, when he gets
q call for an article which he has not
in stock, attempts to substitute some
other article of similar nature with
out telling the buyer of the substitu-
ton, Is putting something over" on
his customer Few retail merchants
nowadays attempt to do thing of that
kind. The great majority of merchants
do not do this for two reasons. One
reason is that they wouldn't do 1t If
they could and the other is that they
couldn't do 1t If they would. The man
who buys an article over the counter
land sees what he is buying before he
pays for 1t, Is pretty sure to get what
The wants.
Ordered Shirt, Got PaJamas.
But there is another class of mer-
Ichants, of which the same thing cam
not be said. A man who has been close
ly connected with some of the big mail
lorder houses Is authority for the state
lment that the heads of the various
departments of many
mail order houses have standing orders
Ito substitute with the nearest thing
they have If the articles ordered are
mot in stock and available for delivery.
lit is related that in one instance as a
result of these instructions, man who
ordered dress shirt from mail order
house received pair of pink pajamas
INSTEAD.
1t is easy for the mail order house to
Iget away with this substitution of an
other article for the one that Is or
,dered for the reason that to exchange
Ian article received from catalogue
house is q costly undertaking.
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1925-05-27
Eychanoes Are Costly.

If a mail order buyer is disappoint-
ed in his purchase, as he Is very apt to
be when he compares the article upon
its arrival with the picture and fiowery
description which appeared in the
catalogue, the wisest plan is to take
what he gets and make the best Of 1t
for every time he sends an article back
to be exchanged, he is piling up the ex-
press or freight charges and even II
the article is exchanged as requested.
{ e buyer is not apt to fare much bet
ter on the second attempt.
The mail order houses are well
aware Of the fact that the majority of
their customers will not go to the trou-
Bile and expense of returning an ar
ticle If ii does not come up to their
expectations and as result they can
work the substitution game to their
hearts content.
The home merchant, however, can
not do business in this way and. as has
been said, the majority of them would
not do 1t If they could. The home mer-
GIANT, If he has not the article called
for, may offer another with the expla-
as the one for which the customer
asked Good merchants nowadays even
hesitate to offer something "just as
good" to the customer especially when
the article called for is one that has
become well-known and popular
through the advertising done by the
manufacturer, but to attempt to make
a substitution without the knowledge
or consent of the customer Well, 1t
isn't being done by the local merchants
today.
Substitution Made Easy.
Substitution Is made easy for the
mail order houses, also, by the fact
that they do not sell much of what is
known as advertised" goods-that is,
goods that have been thoroughly adj
vertised by the manufacturers and
have become nationally known through
such advertising. A large part of the
merchandise which the mail order
houses sell purports to be manufac-
tured by them-although in most cases
little of II Is made in their own plants,
Much of this merchandise bears only
the name OF the mail order house and
1t Is easy TO substitute one article for
another without the customer being
any the wiser.
The methods of the home merchant
naturally are different. With the great
development of advertising in recent
years much of the merchandise carried
by the retail merchant is advertised
goods. These goods are of familiar
brands, the names of which have been
made famous by the national advertis-
ing of the makers. This advertising is
distinct protection to the buyer for
the latter knows when he goes into his
local store and asks for an article OF
this kind that he will get just what he
asks for if the merchant has it in
stock and that he will be told If the
article is not in stock. There is abso.
lutely no opportunity for the merchant
to put one over on him, even If the
merchant had the inclination to do so.
