Know Your Carpet Dealer

If you don’t knou about ’ carpet, then know about your carpet dealer. The best buy-regardless of the price you pay or the style you prefer — comes from a reliable store in your community. Whether you select your new purchase from a' department store, furniture or home furnishings store or a carpet specialty store, there are certain guidelines which will assist you in making the important decision of selecting a dealer. A reputable dealer will have an established place of business, where you tan tour the maze of textures, styles and qualities. Many stores will offer an “in-

home’’ shopping service — sending salesmen to your home with samples on request. But, be wary of this plcy, for a reliable carpet dealer will not do business on a door-to-door or telephone solicitation basis, alone A reputable store will not use “bait’’ or misleading advertising. Whatever is advertised will be offered - for sale at the exact prices or terms quoted It pays to buy from a dealer who is willing to guarantee your carpet pur chase in writing. A trustworthy salesman will not refer vaguely' to the wear guarantee, for example, even though it is hard to write. He will thoroughly

discuss wear conditions in your home and help you estimate the service you can expect from various qualities. A reliable dealer will always try to upgrade your purchase to at least the level of carpet that will last seven to ten years. He knows it is easier for you to justify a little more expense to achieve the added satisfaction of increased performance A reputable dealer will be glad to explain measuring techniques and procedures for installing wall-to-wall carpet. He will also direct you to .an expert cArpet installer if this service is not offered by his store. A reliable salesman will not use high-pressure sales tactics or try to rush you into signing a contract which you have not read or fully ’ understood. The best dealers go beyond these minimum standards of reliability. They will offer additional.

helpful information on decorating, carpet care, and style best suited to your taste and budget. But above all they will be interested in helping you solve your particular problems and will have no trouble in guiding you to a successful purchase So, your choice of a reputable dealer and salesman interested in your complete satisfaction will be your best insurance against an unhappy carpet shopping experience.
