Commercial Candour.
From an Indian trade-circular:—
"All our goods are guaranteed made of the best material and equal to none in the market."
"The approach of the storm was heralded by a magnificent display of, for a time, almost intermittent lightning."—Pall Mall Gazette.
Followed, it may be presumed, by well-nigh interrupted peals of thunder and nearly occasional downpours of rain.
"One always feels humiliated when one is stumped about a quite common thing.... All you could see a little way iff was that they were very dwarg and very thick, and the peculiar coloul baffled us...."
A Country Diary in "Manchester Guardian."
Stumped we may be by the above, but humiliated—never!
