SMALL POSTAL NOTE
CANNOT BE CASHED NEW ZEALAND CREDIT • DUNEDIN, Feb. 9. What is the matter with New Zealand’s credit in Australia? That is the question which the cashier in a large Australian firm is doubtless asking after repeated attempts to negotiate a New Zealand postal note for Is 6d. Writing to a friend in Dunedin the cashier says: "You ask me what 1 think of your Government. Well, here’s a little story about a postal note for Is 6d which my firm received from a woman in New Zealand for some small thing she wanted. It was paid into the bank in the usual way with cheques, and the bank returned the postal note couldn’t accept it —and advised us to try the post office. “It was taken to the Hawthorn Post Office and they referred it to the General Post Office in the city, and when one of our travellers was passing there he called in with it? They wouldn't change it either, and referred us to the Bank of New Zealand, who, in turn turned it down.
"So that’s that. The poor little postal note reclines in the cashbox until New Zealand has Is 6d in hand to pay it with.”
