It is this way: Papers are brought to me and they get it. Than I go to another coal shop, and tell them to carry it to the place. Then I keep a mero of it that it was to the Inspector who wanted it. When the Inspector
comes for it, I give him up the paper and get the money. Q:- / That is to say, you have never kept a book for that
purpose?

No. It is not constantly got. It may be got, or may not. I think he must have kept cther books. This is a book which we call in Chinese "running" book.
A daybook ?
Yes, in Chinese, we call it a "running" book, and from this book all the items should be entered in a ledger. The]
1 edger book contains this account, and other accounts
from other books too.
It is very funny in connection with the Man Hing, you dont keep any account of what money is due you, but in the businessof the Kwan Man Ring, you do keep an item of every article supplied to the customer
