At a later stage a quantity of goods, which were never paid for, were ordered and eventually disposed of under cost price. In some cases a carman was employed to remove the goods from one address to another. On occasions he has advertised in the daily press as follows : Export merchant required, gentleman, £ 200, position trust. .
