FUR COATS AS DEPOSIT
JOHANNESBURG. Jewellery, watches, fur coats, foun-tain-pens and suitcases full of clothes are rapidly taking up storage space in the wayside garages of the Wit* watersrand. Stranded motorists leave these articles as “deposits” when they find , themselves without sufficient money to pay for urgently - needed repairs. One garage 1 proprietor showed a reporter a fur coat with a £GO sterling valuer's label attached to it. It had been left as security for a £42 sterling job. Now the garage owner wants to know where he can sell a £SO sterling fur coat.—Reuter.
