We perceive by advertisement that an outsider is trying to make capital out of the local Drapers, and ourselves in particular. We should not have noticed this or the advent of these men, had they not opened the way for us to do so.

GREAT BARGAINS ! ! with a contrary result,, and then to make it important they catalogue ; then if that won’t do, they try mock auctions ; then, if they find they cannot work sufficiently upon the people in ono place, they take the stuff elsewhere, with the same cry—Great Bargains, catalogues, mock auctions, Ac. However, some men live by their wits. We cannot say we envy or are desirous of imitating them. A fair, legitimate business is, in the long run, far better—both for buyer and seller. 209
