Now, I am not to take up the ques- 

 tion as to how to make a mailing list, 

 but I do want to say right here that 

 a mailing list, fit to use, is something 

 that can not be bought in the open 

 market. Now, it is not necessary for 

 me to tell you gentlemen, who are do- 

 ing a general mail-order business, is- 

 suing two or more catalogues annually, 

 how important it is to have your mail- 

 ing lists checked up carefully at the 

 close of each season. Unless this is 

 done and done thoroughly, dead wood 

 is bound to accumulate; names of re- 

 tail customers will find their way into 

 the wholesale, and names of wholesale 

 buyers into the retail lists, all of which 

 means large and unnecessary expense 

 in mailing catalogues, and confusion 

 in pricing orders. 



I am pleased to note that at least 

 three or four of the larger concerns 

 with whom I am acquainted have their 

 mailing lists classified as outlined 

 above, and are- issuing- trade lists, 

 wholesale price lists, and catalogues 

 accordingly.
