NOT AS EXPECTED.
(Sent in by K. Balderston, Kaiwaka, North Auckland.) A tailor discovered, when examining his stock, that he had six 30/ suits. "I can't sell them all," he said to his friend. "Why not wrap them up and put in an invoice for live suits at forty shillings, and send them to Isaac?" advised the other. "He'll think you made a mistake and buy them at once." Cohen called 011 his friend three days later, his face was white with rage. "You've ruined me!" he howled. "I sent the six suits to Isaac with the invoice for five, and he returned five suits saying he did not order them."
