NOT COMMERCIAL PRACTICE
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—The Post and Telegraph Depaitment advertised through thq columns of the daily papers that amongst -other articles, 'including motor-lorries, etc., Unit it would sell at auction to-day -a woodworking machine, a saw-bench, and mortiser. To my astonishment I, with a number of other inquirers, was told in arrival, at the stores that these articles were withdrawn from sale, and we were approached by a person who intimated tons that if we wished to purchase any of the machines he would be pleased to do business, and he gave us his business address. It war, quite evident to all ot us that he had purchased the machinery. Now, Sir, what shall we say of a Department which does such things as this—a course which, to say the very least, is most irregular? I had travelled a number of miles in order to be present at this sale, and I wish to enter a most-emphatic protest at such treatment.—l am, etc.. BUILDER. 23rd MarclK -
