In a luncheon address, Mr. Brian Dunningham amused members of the Auckland Creditmen’s Club by telling of the manner in which one farmer allegedly conducted his business. This man, said Mr. Dunningham, used to employ his hands without paying them. He would just let the wages debt accumulate, and when it had reached a fairly solid sum he would say to his men: “I owe you so much; you can own the farm for a while.” Then he would work for them, and when his unpaid wages mounted up to such an extent that the men actually owed him money, he would take over the management again.
