A TRADESMAN’S COMPLAINT.
TO THE EDITOR. Sib,— Your correspondent’s remarks as to hia customers devoting themselves to pleasurable pursuits whilst their accounts are unpaid, are very much to the point. In those days of cheap fares and Sunday excursions, I admit the temptation is strong to indulge in an hour or two at the seaside, circus, or the opera, or a cricket match, but oao cannot be blind to the fact that a number of people patronise these various forms of amusement who, if asked to pay their overdue accounts, would be quite shocked, and yet, they must spend their shilling for a trip, ■ I would be tho last to deprive any "parent taking the youngsters out for a blow, but fair is fair all the world over, so let us all share alike. At present customers have ell the enjoyment, while the poor tradespeople have to stop at home, simply because they cannot afford to indulge, and tho merchants will havo their cheques by the 21et of the month.—l am, &c., LINWOOD.
