August 2S, 1952
By CLIFFORD P. ROWE
Forest Grove, Ore.
Just recently a business man friend
of mine was complaining because peo­
ple go out of town to buy merchandise
when it is possible for them to buy
it right at home.
Not being in busi­
ness myself but in
reality one o f
those very con­
sumers of which
he was speaking,
I decided to do a
little self-analyz­
ing.
Why do I
go elsewhere to
buy?
In the first
place, I rarely
leave town for shopping purposes and
I have my doubts as to whether many
others do. However I do know that
when I do go elsewhere it is usuallj
because that which I desire is not
available locally. Very seldom is my
wandering afar motivated by a desire
to save money; for I realize that very
little is ever saved and I also feel a
responsibility to support my home
town merchants.
However there are two important
factors which I believe the local mer-
chant often overlooks and which may
be responsible for some spending out
of the community.
First, I some­
times feel that some merchants are
prone to shift all responsibility to the
shoulders of the consumer. Just be­
cause he is the hometown merchant,
he assumes that he need not offer
efficiency in his methods or courtesy
in his approach to customers. The
customer, nevertheless, insists that he
has every light in the world to expect
quick, efficient and courteous service,
and he will go to Timbuktu if neces­
sary in order to get it. To most of
them ten minutes saved is more im­
portant than ten cents.
Another disturbing factor is the
local merchant who gets the notion
that the customer having no place to
go is a proper subject for price goug­
ing. If the quality is good, the con­
sumer is willing to nay slightly more
than he would elsewhire, but he is
not going to be taken for a sucker.
Last but not least, 1 have a notion
that merchants themselves do not al-
ways practice what they pi each, * 1
am confident that a survey if made
would show that merchants do as much
personal and household purchasing
outside the community as any of their
customers perhaps more.
