CORRESPONDENCE.
Sir, —Don’t you think the shopday stunt is being overdone? Nearly every Saturday afternoon and evening local people are pestered with requests to buy a guess in some competition or another which seems to be the principle source of the shop receipts. If those conducting the shop days would confine themselves to trading the goods instead of pestering people as they walk along the street to “try their luck,” no exception could be taken to this means of “raising the wind.” I think, sir, some of the means adopted come close to the limit of the law. I am not putting one across any particular shop day, but am referring to the general practice adopted outside the buying of articles. Yours etc. RESIDENT.
