Business Notices. AN EVIL AND ITS REMEDY.—T 3 the Editor, —It isahealthy sign ofthe times when out - ;, papers are-beginning 10 deal in a fearipKS; planner with bankrupts-and the . bankruptcy laws. The time has come when something must be done either by the legislature or by business men themselves to put an end to a state ;of>afi|airs;whiph is a'disgrace; to, our boasted civilisation. " We (the undersigned) have been doing business in Ashburton about 2i I A. years, and ' the money we have lost daring that period by bankrupts, levanters, and blacklegs generally :amounts ■ tbi a great deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot protect us; then we must protect ourselves, and i 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 New Zealand, and past experience has proved it to be rottento the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we have resolved to sell for cash only in future. The honest man who Is willing to pay his 20s in the £, and pay as he goes, will find this no disadvantage 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 ourselves 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 p-epared to offer a special line of tweeds at the following unusually low prices.;—Gentleman’s suit made j to order, £2 18s fid; ladies’ tailor made | ulster, £2. All other goods in proportion, for , cash only. CRAIGHEAD & CO., TAILORS AND CLOTHIERS, Tancred Street. . Oysters, Oysters.
