promissory notes for loans total
ing $7,000, from which interest

In other words, the Messrs.
Forrester claimed that they had
not received $7,000 from the
bank, the amount called for, but
that 0,440 was the actual amount
obtained sol>o being deducted
from me tT.u»O for advance in

that inasmuch as the rate charged
was us iri the deed to the land
vas void.

Waste Basket Advertiser.
Waste basket! The merchant
who wishes to reach 10 000 waste
baskets into which his advertisiiiv
circulars fall must pay some one
. for their writing, printing ai d
posting, and as the New York
Herald—one of the ablest ex
ponents of business principles in
the country- says: “The waste
basket cannot read circulars and
is unable to buy any of the things
that they seem to exploit.” Our
esteemed contemporary is sur
prised to know that men of sup
posed commercial acumen spend
large sums each year in the fu
tile effort to convert the waste
baskets of the country into cus
tomers, while neglecting the ad
vertising columns of publications j
that are not thrown into the
waste baskets. —Leslie’s.
