IN 1922 we published a letter from a gentleman on the Gold Coast asking for the Institution's catalogue and samples, as we had been recommended to him as a firm " for goods and provisions." Our inability to supply a catalogue and samples and our embarrassed denials seem to have had no effect. The Gold Coast remains firmly convinced that the Institution is a trading firm.

It goes further, it believes that it is the firm. So, at any rate, we are entitled to believe from a letter received from Mr.

John K. Yalley, of Free Town : " I have heard your name and address by a certain friend of mine that you are the best manufacture in the city of London so kindly send me one of your complete catalogue. But I will soon make you an order. I am earnesth awaiting your favourable reply in per returning mail.".
