50 BEVELATIONS OF A BAT-CATCHEB. 



finished a job according to contract (catching 

 say 40 or 50 Rats), should there be a dispute 

 about the price and the people decline to pay 

 the bill, then he has the expedient of letting 

 the Eats at liberty again in the place where he 

 had caught them. Most people will pay the 

 price you send in rather than have the Eats 

 turned loose again. 



Although I am showing how the Eat-catcher 

 can always have the advantage of stubborn 

 payers, I may as well assure my readers that 

 in all my experience such an occurrence as the 

 above has never happened with me, simply 

 because I always make my arrangements 

 beforehand, which course I always find the best 

 and most satisfactory all round. 



Another matter I may mention. If any one 

 could find out a sure way of catching Eats so 

 that he could give a guarantee to clear large 

 buildings, my opinion is that he would make a 

 fortune in a very short time ; for I know firms 

 in Manchester alone that would pay almost 

 any amount to be rid of the Eats ; not only 

 because of what they consume, but more for 

 the damage they do to their goods. 



I have referred to the Eat-catcher obtaining 

 good pay. The reason he commands such a 

 big price for his work at the present time is 

 because there is not much sale for live Eats.
