" Bat I am ; my name's well known. Why, I spend £300 a year with the firm you represent," returned the other. " Can't help it, sir ; must have the money or the carpet," reiterated the man, who was now preparing to roll it up again. " Why, what are you going to do ?" exclaimed the merchant as he saw the intention. "If you must have the money, wait till I send for a cheque book, for I haven't one in the house." And not till the cheque was in his hand, did the man budge from his position in the middle of the carpet. The Messrs Inglis and Co. receive such small profits that ii would be impossible for them to do business except on purely cash principles. The merchant referred to bought the carpet for £25 ; had he got it at a " credit house " it would have cost fully £35.
