Change for Thirty-Five Shillings.
There is a singular directness of purpose in the following advertisement which appears in the Daily News:—
REPORTER (27), now on Weekly, WANTS CHANGE. 35s.
The advertiser not only wants change, but he mentions the exact sum. It seems odd. One often wants change for a sovereign, and even oftener wants the sovereign itself. But what precise coin a man hands you when he wants thirty-five shillings change is not quite clear.
