BRIBED BARMEN.
to the editor. Sir,—In Mr Johnstone’s advertisement he very distinctly insults the barmen of Gisborne by adding, “No bribery to barmen.” The insult is perfectly gratuitous, as those who know Mr Johnstone are fully well aware thot he is not the man to part with his money very readily, and, in fact, very few barmen would care to accept anything from him. Mr Johnstone should also remember that it is not the barmen who order the beer, and that it is their employers who are the best judges of the brews which are most saleable.—l am, &c., An Unbribed Barman.
