It was away back in April last that- a Wanganui land agent bought a pocket, knife and discovered with dismay on the first occasion that he used it the blade crumpled up like a piece of lead (says the Herald). More in sorrow than in anger, he wrote to the makers, a .Sheffield ffrm with the result that to-day he got back both a nice letter and a new knife. The firm said that the knife had evidently been an unfortunate exception to the high class cutlery they sold. In conclusion, they added “As you state in your postscript, you certainly sent us good soldiers and good Rugby players, and you can take it- from us that we do not wish to send out anything hut the best of cutlery.”
