WHAT TO DO WHEN WANTING DYNAMITE 



In the foregoing, Red Cross Extra Dynamite and Du Pont Blasting 

 Supplies have been carefully described, and the way to store and use 

 them explained. When blasting is contemplated refer to the section on 

 the kind of work to be done and find the kind of dynamite recom- 

 mended for that work and about how much will be required. 



If the dynamite is to be used for blasting stumps, multiply the num- 

 ber of stumps to be blasted by the number of cartridges for a stump 

 the size they will average and divide the number of cartridges by two 

 to get the number of pounds required. 



We prefer to sell through local dealers when possible. If we 

 have a representative in your locality carrying stock, your order will be 

 forwarded to him to be filled from his own stock. If we have no dealer 

 nearby, we shall make shipment from our nearest distributing point, 

 and if it is to be a charge account, the goods will be invoiced to the 

 storekeeper who has agreed to carry your account, but shipment will 

 be made direct to you. 



You can buy any quantity of dynamite from one cartridge up from 

 local dealers who have stock on hand, but on orders sent to this Com- 

 pany for direct shipment, broken lots cannot be purchased. The small- 

 est direct shipment that we can accept for dynamite is 25 pounds ; for 

 caps, 100; for fuse, 100 feet. Orders for larger quantities must be 

 in multiples of these figures; for instance, 50, 75, 100 and upwards 

 pounds of dynamite; 100, 200, 300, etc., caps; 100, 200, 300, etc., feet 

 of fuse. 



The minimum freight charge is on the basis of 100 pounds ; hence 

 freight will be the same on 25, 50, 75 or 100 pounds. 



As soon as you have sent in an order, be sure to notify your local 

 freight agent, so that he may advise you promptly of the arrival of the 

 shipment, it is required by law that explosives be removed from 

 freight stations within 48 hours after their arrival. Order about 3 to 

 4 weeks before you need the dynamite and supplies.

It is best to do this whether you can get them from your local 

 dealer or not. Many of our dealers do not carry Blasting Supplies in 

 stock, but will see that your order is filled. They need this written 

 order. Even if the dealer carries a stock of Blasting Supplies, it is a 

 great convenience for him to have this written order, and tends to 

 prevent errors or omissions. 



If we have no dealer in your locality send us the order and remit- 

 tance and we will see that you are supplied.
