_Mr. John Bridger, Baker, to the Editor of “The Eastbury Herald.”_
DEAR HEDGES,--I was both pained and surprised to find a man of your
principles and a friend of mine writing of bakers as you did this
week. Why should you “of course” have meant a banker? Why cannot a
retired baker take a fine house if he wants to? I am thoroughly ashamed
of you, and wish to withdraw my advertisement from your paper.
Yours truly, JOHN BRIDGER.

DEAR SIR,--After the offensive slur upon bakers in the current number
of your paper we feel that we have no other course but to withdraw our
advertisement; so please discontinue it from this date.
Yours faithfully,
GREENERY & BILLS.
