I wouhl like to trade at home if I could be accorded the treatment that I am entitled to and that I get else where and get satisfaction assured. A case in point—a lady bought of a “catalo'^ue house” several pair of shoos. One pair of w'hich did not seem to come up to what she thought they ought, so after a month’s wear she sent them back with a complaint and by return mail got a new pair even better in quality than the first claimed to be. I have known several instance where this has been done by “catalogue houses” and nearby towns also. A short time ago I bought a pair of shoes for an eight year old boy, and paid S5.00 for them because they were claimed to be good solid leather and insured lont; wear; in less than three weeks the shoe soles were v/orn out. Feeling that the^ must be inferior to what they should have been for the price paid and quality claimed I j took the shoes to the merchant and i made complaint. 1 must say that I : have never been treated with such I coldness, such indift'erence and im politeness; it amounted to wilful ' snubbcry, an insult to the intelli- ' .lienee of any lady, j The shoes in question had ■ followed as on the black-board.
