They sent out a man with authority to hand over a guinea to any person ho came across who produced a box of their matches. When he came to Aberdeen he entered the smokcroom of a popular restaurant, and going up to a stranger said: “Could you oblige me with a match?” The Aberdonian replied ; “Certainly,” handing over his box, which happened to be the make _ required. “Thank you very much,” he said. “I see you use our matches. My firm authorises me to hand over a guinea to every man L meet who produces one of their boxes — so there’s your guinea.” He then turned to leave, when the Aberdonian stopped him with a remark: “Hey! ■Stop there—l thocht there was a catch in it—you’re awa 1 wi’ my matches.”
