Business Notices. An evil and its remedy.—Tj the Editor, —It is a heal thy sign ofthe times when our local papers are beginning to deal in a fearless manner with bankrupts and the bankruptcy laws. The time has come when something must be done either by the legisla ture or by business men themselves to put an end to a state of affairs which is a disgrace to " our boasted civilisation. We (the under-, signed) have been doing business in Ashbur ton about 3)4 years, and the money we haver lost during that period by bankrupts, levah ters, and blacklegs generally amounts to a great deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro-; tect us then we must protect ourselves, and" there is only one way to do so, viz., to abolish the credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countries besides NetV Zealand, and past experience has proved it to be rotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we have resolved . to sell for cask only in future. The honest man who is willing to pay his 20s in the £t and pay as he goes, will find this no disadvant age but a great-gain, as he will Be able-to obtain: a first-class article much cheaper than he would under the old system. We shall exert our selves to the utmost as heretofore to give our customers full satisfaction, and every order will be executed in our usual first-class ■ style—but we shall no longer run any unnecessary risk. .Under the cash system we are prepared to offer a special line of tweeds at the following unusually low prices :—Gentleman's suit made to order, £2, 18s fid; .ladies' tailor made ulster, £2.
