To MERcHANTs.-We were much
pleased to observe the excellent plan adop-
ted by Messrs. j. F. Williams & Co., of
this city, in trading with servants. Mas.
ters and Mistresses frequently send their
servants to the stores with money to pur-
chase articles, and frequently some part OF
the change is missing, which induces the
belief that the merchant has made some
mistake. The servant always tells a
good story, and truth is rarely elected.
When a servant brings money for the
purchase Of an article at the establish
ment of Messrs. Williams, & Co. they
return a note in the form following, which
we would be pleased to see adopted by
every merchant in the city:


"I1.4 yds. at 50 so So 10 1-2


"Received SO 81 1.2, Returned 25c.
Another matter it would be well for mer
chants to be very particular about. New
er let servants have goods charged with
out either the verbal or written order o
the Master or Mistress. 1t would save
much difficulty on the final settlement Q
accounts.
