Automatic Age

CAUTION: Know the Facts
When You Buy
Automatic Age has always
stood for fair play. It puts its
weight on equitable dealings,
for the seller and for the buy­
er. Sometimes operators report
what they claim unfair advan­
tage has been taken of them.
In some cases, their complaint
arises from the simple point
that they accepted implied spe­
cifications of what they were
buying, and did not have a
clear understanding of w h a t
they were actually buying. In
such cases, there is l i t t l e re­
course open for the operator.
Unless he makes certain that
all points are clear and accept­
able to him, he leaves himself
wide open to receiving mer­
chandise not exactly suited to
his needs. A seller who plays
fair should be willing to state
specifically what he offers. The
operator should get specific in­
formation, otherwise he runs
the risk of getting unsuitable
merchandise. Following is a
letter received which illustrates
the advisability of doing bus­
iness on facts:
Now, this is not fair. Can you
advise me what to do with mat­
ter, as I can’t use this “junk.”
Yours truly,
Jack Burns.
It is a good policy to always
be specific about the quality of
merchandise ordered b e f o r e
placing an order, and especial­
ly is this true when using sub­
stitute merchandise. Be sure of
what kind of merchandise is to
be delivered, and on w h a t
terms, n e t weight, shipping
weight, and other factors.

DEAR EDITOR:
A few months ago (Penny
King) in Penn., quoted me a
price of 1 5 a lb. on glass

money order for about $24.00
plus freight. On receiving same,
three bulging cartons and one
open wooden box short 13 to 15
other 3 cartons short 13 to 15
lbs. total 21 lbs. of which I paid
15l/o^ lb. Also a variation in
sizes that it is impossible to
use without 3 to 5 service calls
on each ball gum machine. I
wrote back to P. K. and was
told to go to the freight house
that brought the marbles here,
as 200 lbs. left, and they were
responsible. I don’t agree as I
still have 2 boxes UNOPENED
and no more could be put into
them, hence the short weight.
