Excerpt from The Furniture Worker, Vol. 35: January, 1918 Supposing he had left it all to luck, what then? Sup posing he had simply given his woman what the usual advertisement gave her. What then? He would merely have pointed to his commode and told her it were one of the most superior things made.in the world, that he would have. Lie-would not have given heti any insight into the wood or the trim or the finish. He would instead have flashed his commode on her just the same as a hundred and one other dealers in her town flashed their commodes on her in their advertisements. And she wouldn't have paid especial attention to it, would she have? No, sir. For she realized all the time that these dealers were all bent on selling their commodes. They were, at that, and that is precisely what they should have been, too. And yet all of these dealers were so bent on getting rid of their commodes. They didn't take time to stop and give her a detailed instance. They knew their commodes so well, that's it. But this woman didn't, that's it, again.
