No deviation in prices; no credit (send name, address and money together); remit by post-office money order, by American Express Company’s money order, by registered letter or by bank check (postage stamps may be sent in registered letters for change); write plainly and fully; give subscribers’ full addresses (they may be different); sign your name and give your full address in every communication.
The foregoing relates to premiums sent within the United States.
To the British North American Colonies other premiums have to be sent by express, the receiver paying whatever costs the tariff may impose; but magazines and books may be sent to these colonies by mail. There is a duty on books; not on magazines.
Things in the List are also sold for money, payment in advance, no discount, no charge for packing, sent at receiver’s cost and risk.
Wait for return mail and a week besides before you conclude your letter or our reply has gone astray; then write particulars: date of your sending, how you remitted, how much.
The first step to take is to send us 15 cents for specimen copies of all five magazines, subscription blanks and other helps.
