A- -N—EVIL- AND ITS REMEDY.—Ta L\. the Editor, —Itisahealthy sign ofibe times .vli'en 'our local papers are beginning 10 deal n a fearless manner with bankrupts and the bankruptcy laws. The time has come when iomething' must* be done either by the legislature or by business men themselves to put an fend to a state of affairs which is a disgrace to pur boasted civilisation. We (the undersighed) have been* doing business in Ashburton about 3 % years, and the money we have lost during that period by bankrupts, levanters, and blacklegs generally amounts to a £reat deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot project us then we must protect ourselves, and there is only one way to do so, viz., to abolish tjhe credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countries besides New Zealand, and past experience has proved it to be rotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we ’ have resolved to sell for dash only in future. The honest man \feho is willing to pay , his 20s in the £, and pay ai 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 l|e 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 tb order, £2 lßs fid; ladies’ tailor made ulster, £2 . All other goods in proportion, for dash only. j CRAIGHEAD & CO., 1 TAILORS AND CLOTHIERS, i Tancred Street. -
