We perceive by advertisement that an outsider' is trying to make capital out of the local Drapers, and ourselves m particular. We should not have noticed this or the advent of these men, had they not opened the way for us to do so. We need not say very much, because the people of Blenheim must be heartily sick of these adventurers, who trade upon the credulity of the unenlightened, by using freely such terms as BARGAINS 1 GREAT BARGAINS 1 1 wilh a contrary result, acd then to make it important they catalogue ;Mhen if that won't do. they try mock auctions ; then, if they find they cannot work sufficiently upon the people m one place, they take the stuff elsewhere, with the same cry— Great Bargains, catalogues, mock auctions, &o. However, some men live by their wits. We cannot say we envy or are desirous of imitating them. A fair, legitimate business is, m the long run, far better— both for buyer and seller.
