THEN AND NOW.
One of the chief differences be
tween business methods of today
and those of a few years ago is the
"Policy of guaranteeing satisfac
tion. In the old days if you made
a bargain you had no redress. The
joke was on you. The only thing
left to do was to make the best of it.
But now' it is different. If the
thing is not right you take it back
and say so, and the man you bought
it from either makes it right or
takes it back and refunds the
money.
This is as it should be. Business
will become more and more harmo
nious and progressive in proportion
as the seller and buyer learn that
their interests are those of friends
and not of opponents. Successful
business enterprises are today built
not on the first transaction but on
the repeat orders. And repeat or
ders come only when a previous
business transaction was satisfac
tory. I follow this idea to the let
ter and if s.ttccess is to crown my ef
forts it will be because of the Gold
en Rule in business—“Satisfaction
Guaranteed.” Z. J. Loussac’s Drug
