"LITTLE STUNTS IN U.S.A."

Sir.-The article headed "Little Stunts in the .U.S.A." appearing in your yesterday's issuo caught my attention, and I read it expecting to be, like tho "man from Europe" referred to in the first paragraph, amazed nt the novelty and cuteness of the "stunts" described. What did I find? Why, hardly anything new at all. The petrol delivery pump for motorists is to be seen all over New Zealand, and here in Wellington there are several of these on the "sidewalk —one in Lambton Quay and one in Tarannki'Street to my certain knowledge. Advertising "stunts" qjiitc as novel as the one described, penny m tho slot musical • instruments, nnd speak your weight" machines "aro here, and if here I will gamble they are 111 England; France and most. European countries. We Britishers are not altogether behind,the times; we buy,and^ enjoy most good specialities or "stum*, even if wo do leave to our Yankee cousins to do most of the manufacturing 111 this direction. I take every opportunity-of giving our dear little Dominion all the credit-it deserves, and I think you will agree this letter is taking an opportunity that should -not be missed. It is a Brit;«h trait to boost others and forget self.-lam, ; etc., wAKBmm Kilbirnie, January 2, 1920.
