Words almost fail even me when I try briefly to describe recent ‘happenings’. Reaction to these ads has been widespread and varied. On the one hand I have had an old ‘friend’ rush his messenger around with a ‘blue letter’ (a threat to prosecute) unless I paid an account within two days! Conversely, a man whom I have met only once and who is the head of a large trading concern personally telephone with sympathy and understanding and was, of course, given my personal assurance that financially I would ‘cope’. This sympathy and understanding is to be expressed in a practical way through the purchase of some furniture . That’s life and them’s people!
