I We understand that the book, "Samples From a Commercial Traveller's Note Book," written by a local author, is having i most .successful run. The following are a few extracts from press notices iiv reference to the publication : "Not all travellers' tales, of the kind to be heard in.the smoke room, look well in print, but the compiler ' of 'Samples,' who modestly conceals hi;, identity under the letters, 'E.D./ presents a few that will give pleasure to those who read them."—Welling--1 ton Evening Post. "A large number of amusing stories in which horse-play frequently figures, a number of episodes of the old times, and anecdotes, "Si non vere. vera trcvate.' There is ample material here, and as a maiden effort this little hook deserves welcome."—Christchttfcli Evening Star. "A copy of 'Samples,' which we havo received, is brimful of the best and merriest in human nature. As a travelling companion, or for a night at tli€ fireside, 'Samples' is well worth having."—Greymouth Evening Star. "Life is made the merrier for a dip into this note-book. Certainly some of the C.T.'s on the road will recognise a number of the episodes so blithely told by 'E.D.' of Sleepy Hollow. We congratulate him upon his memory, and he must be good company in off-hours."—Feil'ding Star. | " 'Samples' is the title given by a retired commercial traveller, now living the retired life in Nelson, to a hardy little volume containing the yarns he has gathered during fifteen years' travel up and down New Zea- j lard by road, coach, and rail. Some | are old friends, many are fresh, and all tend to tickle one's sense of fun. ft will help to wile away pleasantly many an otherwise tedious hour in t!i 5 train or on the ferry. The little volume has been clearly printed -and tastefully turned out by It. W. Stiles snd Co., of Nelson."—N.Z. Free Lanpe.
