A Story of Real Life

Here is a story of real life. Everybody in London knows the excellent hansoms with " P.H." on the panels. Next to the " S.T." or Shrewaburya they are the best horsed and most comfortable of the rehicles coming from the larger stables. The owner of these hansoms— there are about 130 of thesein all-- i -isVa x man who started , ag a "coster," a^dywho is quite un«located, «o much so, that, I believe, h* does* hot sign his own cheques. Be began with a barrow of his own, and then, saving a little money, began to let out barrows — of which he has fe-now ' many hundreds — to his fellow iH&dy.ers. The business grew profitable *%ndihe:laid out his savings in tumbledown house property, which he bought cheap, "and which was soon taken off his hands by the Board of Works, and polled 1 clown for improvements... He cleared: 'some thousands over this transaction, and then set up in the hansom businesss. i now owner of two huge yards",' and the largest business next to^Lord Shrewsbury's. He charges 1.6s a day for each vehicle, and dismisses every cabman who does not come strictly up to time. He neither gives hot takes credit, treats himself to oiie day's holiday in the year, when he lidrivea himself down to Brighton and back, is a teetotaller, and gets up ©very day a richer man than he was tne r day before.
