The Gazette

The large number of well dressed young men who parade Central avenue, particularly on nice Sunday afternoons, with a swagger that would do credit to the swellest of would-be society Englishmen on the Strand in London, is at last explained. So many of them have landed in an office of a justice of the peace located in the Blackstone building and in Justice Brown's court, in the Wick block, in recent months, forced there by one or more of the many credit clothing companies doing business in this city, that we could not help but solve the problem. It is simply astonishing how large a number of our young men are parading the streets in clothes that they are paying for 'on time.' They do not seem to realize that this is the most expensive way to purchase almost anything. It also indicates the fact that their sense of pride will stand a good deal of developing as well as one or more of their other several senses. We are considering the advisability of publishing a list of all those who land in justice courts in such cases during the first three months of the incoming year.
