Chinese Calligraphy on Pawn Ticket

Pop Wuping posts the following image of a Chinese pawn ticket. Apparently, in the 1950s, most small Hong Kong shopkeepers still used an abacus for calculations, and a brush rather than a pen for their accounts and receipts. Bits of ephemera like these seem to be rare in current times, but I still look out for them when traveling.
