CASH AND SATISFACTION
The cuh customer is the most easily satisfied customed. For one thing
Jiavinj the cash, he can buy where he pleases, and when he buys he buys
only such things as he can rav for If he buys an article and it is not pood,
he can tell the merchant, who will make it r.ght without ado, because he
knows the customer Is not trying to get out of paying for somethiug wnich
he has worn out and now regrets having bought.
Hhe merchant knowing that he has the cash, and that he will buy
where h« can get the things which please him best and where he thinks he
is getting most for his money, will endeavor to give him just what he
wants. Such a customer generally knows what he wants to pay for an ar
ticle before he enters the store, because he has so much cash for that arti
cle. He is not lured to baying for double what he planned, because it is to
be paid for two or ten months hence
Every time the cash customer coenis into tl.e store he is in the guise of
a new customer, and is apt to be treated as such. He is under no obligation
to buy; the merchant is under the prime obligation of showing him why t <•
should buy from him instead of from anothi r
In the old days it was customan when a man paid his bill at the end ol
the month for the merchant to treat him to a 4 sat The customer vho
paid spot cash In those days did not get treated This is the only disad
vantage of paying cash and probabl> this has t>ee:i done awaj
