ii2 THE BOSTON TERRIER 



starting many years ago by the first sale to a 

 Boston banker, then to several members of his 

 firm, going from Boston to their correspondents 

 in other cities, until the orders come in from 

 everywhere. We had three orders from as many 

 countries in one mail last week. I merely men- 

 tion this to show how the demand for the dog 

 has grown. When we commenced to sell dogs 

 we adopted the following plan, which we con- 

 ceived to be just and equitable alike to buyer 

 and seller: When a dog is ordered we send 

 on one which we believe will fill the bill, accu- 

 rately describing the dog, stating age, pedigree, 

 etc., and stating that when the customer is per- 

 fectly satisfied with the dog (as long a trial 

 being given as may be wished) in every respect, 

 a check will be accepted, and not before. Should 

 the dog at any time prove unsatisfactory in any- 

 way, the purchase money will be cheerfully 

 refunded, or a dog of equal value will be sent 

 in exchange. In the case of a bitch that fails 

 to become a good breeder, the same plan, of 

 course, is followed. In regard to the sale of 

 puppies, we guarantee them (barring accidents, 

 and the showing of them, when owner assumes 

 risks) to reach maturity, and in case they do 

 not, refund purchase money, or send on another 

 puppy of equal value.
