A MAIL ORDER MODEM
In the great mail order business which
flourishes in this country there are oc
casional, yes frequent incidents which
show the customers of these houses the
folly of sending away from home to pur
chase goods. A farmer sent to one of
these firms and bought a cook stove for
less than his home merchant could sell it!
After using it two weeks, he wrote to the
firm of whom he purchased it and said:
' the covers on my stove have warped, al
though it has been in use but two weeks."
The firm, always prompt, immediately
acknowledged the letter and offered the
following suggestion: "No doubt your fire
has been too hot. Turn the covers over
and see if they won't warp back again.
Such it the general satisfaction obtained
in dealing with strangers and those at a
distance. That farmer has likely learned
a lesson which will be valuable to him In
future dealings and the home firm hat
gained a customer. Eugene Register. '
