TRAMPING ON ONE’S CORNS.
THE HALF-H OLIbAY INJURY. No one realises how heavy a man’s foot is like the person who has felt another’s heel on his tenderest corn. 1 A good turnover and brisk trade are the tenderest points with the business man, and perhaps it’s the injury done to these that made the manager of the largest retail business (in that particular line) in Napier assert: “ The attempt to institute Saturday instead of Wednesday for the shop holiday in Napier was AN ABSOLUTE FAILURE, and was ABANDONED JUST IN TIME TO SAYE THE TRADE OF THE TOWN FROM RUIN. Our experience has effectually killed the Saturday movement here, and one never hears any suggestion to try it again.” It’s a wise man and a wise people who can benefit by the exp —•*ence of others. iv £1526
