mail order house.
Hut, here is a t:ue story of hat
happened in this community re
cently. , ., ..
A woman brought a child s
coat to a local merchant to have it
exchanged, because the mail or
der hou.e had sent the wrong
size. The woman couldn t wait
to send the coat back, because the
child needed the wrap the next,
night, . ,(
The coat was- of lower quality
than what the merchant had at
the same price. He could not
: 'afford to mix his stock.
The woman saw the difference
in qualitv, and offered to pay
1.50 in order to get the exchange.
The merchant rightfully 're
fused Had she purchased the ouat
there in the first place she would
have saved money, saved time,
gotten a properly fitting coat, and
been better pleased.

A certain local citizen walked
i,o a Waynesville store recent y
with eight radio tubes in a shoe
box under his arm. Unwrapping
them, he said: . ,
"1 have eight tubes here, 1
kiiow some of them are na.i. i
want them tested, please, to see
which are good and which need
replacing." . , .
The radio dealer courteously
touted each tube on a modern test
ing machine (which cost over
$100). When he had finished, he
handed the man back his tubes,
telling him which three were de
fective and needed replacing.
The radio .dealer then said he
had just the tula's the man needed
in stock - new tubes, made by a
nationally known radio linn. 1
this the man replied:
"Oh, 1 was g.iing to order the
the tuhes 1 needed from a mail
order house tm.ight. I just want
ed you lo tell me how many 1
should order."
There are many people who
have read the above, incident wn

of the parties involved can be giv

prove that it really happened.
