SAVES COPPERS TO
BUY LICENSE
On January 15 of this year, the
last day of grace for the purchase
of 1936 motor licenses, the issuer
of motor licenses for Exeter was
startled, when upon asking a cus
tomer for his license fees to have a
large canvas 'bag containing 800
coppers emptied unceremoniously on
his desk with the remark from the
customer, “I think you will find
them all there.”
Again recently this customer pre
sented, as payment for his 1937
license, a bag full of coppers, but
fortunately has chosen a time when
the issuer had more time to count
them.
“I find it no trouble to pay for my
license each year as I just keep toss
ing the coppers I get in change into
this bag and at the end of the year
there is always enough.” remarked
the customer.
