Wholesale Orders.
As told by Answers :—: — In New Zealand it is the custom in hotels and drinking bars to charge sixpence for ordinary drinks — such aR beer, lemonade, tea, or wlrsky. With the latter the customers usually help themselves to a recogniied quantity from a bottle en the counter. Some time ago a man entered one of these drinking saloons in Dunedin, and, helping hirmelf to the whisky, poured out two or three times the usual quantity, a* the same time placing his sixpence on the counter. The proprietor looked at hi» cu&torner, and, taking up his sixpence, gave him threepence change, and said to him : "We always make an allowance for wholesale orders."
