It is not a common practice for people to keep cash shop dockets, except for a short period after the purchase, but a case has occurred iu Gisborne, which proves to be the exception. A hrm of drapers recently conducted an oldest docket contest in order to ascertain its oldest customer. Hundreds of dockets were received, the oldest of which dated back to May 2, 1891. Another docket also bore a date of 38 years buck. In return both owners will receive a prize o! £-./•-/- each, and a third prize of 10/6 has been awarded to the holder of a docket dated August, 1894.
