Plan No. 312. Sell Goods on Installments by Parcel Post
A Seattle man originated the plan of selling goods on the installment plan by parcel post, and made it succeed.
Running an ad. in the local papers, describing the article for sale, he attached a coupon upon receipt of which the goods would be sent by parcel post for inspection. If approved and desired, the first installment was to be remitted at once, the others at stated intervals, but in all cases the names of two references were required.
He sold quantities of goods, sustained no losses, and made a good profit each year through this plan.
