BUSINESS must certainly be very bad with the Palmerston firm, whose representative visited this town last week. Their representative also has some queer ways of soliciting business, a way that most business men would consider decidedly mean. This is one method the worthy representative adopted on approaching a probable, "I have a good cycle chain here, your local man is charging about I2s Gd, whereas our price is only 7s Gd.” Fortunately, however, he quoted the brand, the “Renold” which has always been sold localiv at 7s 6d as will be recognised. Then he ran across one of the local man’s customers and right away ridiculed the price he had paid for a certain article. Unfortunatey for the travelling representative he ran across several of the local man’s customer friends who, whilst pleading ignorance as to the local man and his prices, skilfullv drew him out and secured his catalogue containing his firm’s famous prices ; and this is where the local man can square things up. In the first instance the method of securing business was a bad one and would not appeal to any fair-minded person. Quoting another man’s prices may be alright, providing he is truthlul about it, but to attempt to secure business by misleading the client as to the other man’s prices shows a poor business spirit. If business is to be obtained in this wav the local man can quite easily exhibit a page of this Palmerston catalogue in his window showing, for example, bracket axles quoted at 8s 6d, ami say '‘our local price for these is still the same, viz., 2s Gd.” Then see what a recovery is made on this line. A few of these sales soon compensate, lor the other line that was sold 4fid under the usual price. We can all work these catch lines and make up on the others, the prices of which the public are less familiar whli. The present day public arc, however, not all so easily caught: may we advise them to study this Palmerston catalogue, and any other “catch penny” catalogues and compare prices, and if they can get things on the whole cheaper (especially in Palmerston) then good luck to them. The local man has always competed in prices and will continue to do so, besides, he believes that the Foxton public are a little more patriotic than to be at once drawn by the new linn’s apparently startling offers and their method of offering them.
