TO THE EDITOR. Sie, —A week ago you were good enough to publish a letter of mine complaining that canvassers operating from private firms had been selling writing tablets in Dunedin under the pretext that they were from our organisation. We now have the names of at least two men who have been dodging all over the suburbs selling a tablet other than that printed specially for us. Their story, when questioned as to the genuineness, is that they belong to our organisation, but that we have sold out of our special tablets, and have had to sell these other ones instead. By this story they have misled many householders, who, thinking they were helping us, bought these other goods in ignorance. We do not wish to spoil the chances of any others who may be trying to make a bring in these hard rimes, but we think it a most unfair advantage to take of our organised venture for anyone deliberately to mislead the public. We are trying to conduct this canvass in a manner creditable to the splendid support that has been given us in it, and wo would appreciate the chance of warning the public that any canvasser selling other than onr specially-named tablets and without a letter of authority signed by the writer is not genuine.--! am, etc., > E.
