SCOTCHING A RUMOUR.
Rumour is a lying jade. Whether given I birth through fear or jealousy, any rum- | our affecting the standing of a sound I business house should be followed up and handled with thfe gloves off, remarks the New Zealand Draper." Rumour hath it that So-and-So have put off a hundred hands, that Another concern is selling out to a. big Australian firm, that a leading drapery establishment is in the hands of the receivers—and so on. Not a word of ! truth in any of it. Some people seem to take a devilish delight in spreading rumours and adding a bit from their own imagination. It doesn't do to stand on ceremony in dealing with rumourmongers; they are a the community, especially in these days when confidence must be maintained.
