He takes a paper bag into the back room and when he returns to the shop the bag is well closed, put on- to the scales md the salesman tells you in a low /•oice whatyou must pay. When you reach home and' open the bag you more often than not find with disjust that you have been given over"ipe fruit, quite uneatable. I think it n quite time the inspectors did some:hing about it. • W!hy cannot the bananas be put in :he shop, so that customers can see vhat they are buying? — I am etc., MANY TIMES BITTEN.
