COLLECTION DAY-Reader, Lathrop, Cal. At
one time-that was before the advent OF the
railroad across the continent-the merchants
of San Francisco were in the habit of making
their collections on the day before the de-
parture of the steamer of the Pacific Mail line
for Panama, and the day on which bills were
presented was known as steamer day" In
after years it was found that what was known
as steamer day would no longer answer busi-
ness purposes; therefore the merchants agreed
upon certain days on which collections should
be made, and these are now known as "couec-
ton days"
