On the subject oi trading stamps, the Hastings standard says There appears to be some misapprehension concerning the position of shopkeepers who hold supplies of the company's Stamps, many of our contemporaries rarmis ng thit ihi tradesmen will lose considerably on those wh ch they have in hand. This, we imdaistmd, is not 80, for the shopkeepers pay only for those stamps of which they have dis- . posed and the company's agent makes periodical ciU upon them for the purpose of collecting their respective returns. Therefore no money changes hands until the stamps bave been issued tJ customers, and the tradespeople are in no danger of losing by their venture, Ihe stamps are now . absolutely as valueless as waste paper, bat os thsse which are not pasted in (he baoks of the purchaser the loas U borte by the company itsef. It is BureasunaUa to suppose that ths • shopkeepers would agree to a systsm of disoount asking them to keep a large supply of s'amps which are useless exc-pt f r tie ouc purpose, and id h quit« obvious tin 6, even had they i.- been stkel to take the risk, they would ; i «ohavj managed matters as nib to .: fcave more than were really necessary ou hand at a t me.
