Portia's Father
Was
IN THE day of Shakespeare's famous heroine, buying
and selling were contests of wits. In Venice, haggling
and dickering were the vogue. Along the Rialto, sharp
practice was the rule. Every purchase of silk or spices
was made at the buyer's risk. One had to be a shrewd
judge of values and one's fellows to escape trickery.
Portia's father a merchant was used to the ideas of
guess, luck and accident. So much so, indeed, that it
seemed natural to him to entrust: the choice of his daugh
ter's husband to three closed caskets and a lucky guess!
Nowadays, we do not transact business blindly nor
leave important decisions to chance. It is not necessary
for us to gamble when we buy. Commodities are identi
fied for us by trade-marks. Manufacturers go to the
advertising columns to tell us about their products.
Merchants describe their -merchandise price, quality
nnd service.
By reading advertisements, we get a knowledge of
goods and stores that we can depend on. ' Advertising
reduces chance, in bitying, to a minimum.
