Taylorsville, N. C. .Wednesday, Oct. 29, 1913, $1.Q0 PER ANNUM THE MOUNTAIN SCOUT; Published every Wednesday, at Taylorsville, North Carolina: J. P. BABINGTON, Editor and Publisher. Entered at the Post Office, in Taylorsville, N. C, as second class matter,' Feb ruary 6th, 1902, under Act of Congress ofJMarchp, 1879. INSPIRING CONFIDENCE. Confidence has been defined as the act of placing firm trust or reliance on any person or thing. The elements of confidence or trust enter into every activity of life. . We find that in business no sale is ever consummated except through confidence. 'Before a purchase is made from a merchant there is a feeling created, knowingly or unknowingly, in the mind of the customer that the merchent is reliable, that his goods are good goods and that he is willing to warrant them' as such. . Con fidence in a merchant, his store, and his goods is not created alone by good goods and personal warranties, but a model store in ap pearenc, courteous treatment and the determination to serve cus tomers all tend to establish confidence in the eyes of t,he public. A first essential in business is that each merchant and his sell ing force have confidence in the goods for sale. If they do have confidence customers are more easily influenced to purchase and better satisfied with their purchase, for confidence is catching. The real purpose bf every thoughtful merchant, who desires to build a permanent business, is to establish confidence. Trade travels in the path of confidence, and in proportion as confidence in the store increases, just in that proportion does the bsuiness expand. Confidence is just as essential to success in advertising as in any other branch of business. Advertisements that do not create confidence are a positive detriment to the business. Exaggeration in advertising always tends to shatter confidence. It may result in some extra sales, but-the after effect is bad. ; Truthful advertising does more to inspire confidence in a busi ness than anything else. In fact truthful advertising, good goods, and good treatment establish permanent confidence, so essential to permanent business. Copyright 1912 by Geo. E. Patterson. rrrmrmnr rirmrmrrrrriQ 111 !
