NOTICE TO ADVERT IS EMS.— In many instances 

 Remittances in Payment of Repeat Advertisements are 

 received without name, address, or anything beyond the 

 postmark on envelope by which to identify the sender ; this 

 in all cases causes a very great deal of trouble, and fre- 

 quently the sender cannot be identified at all. 



Advertisers are requested when Remitting to give their 

 Names and Addresses, and also a Reference to the Adver- 

 t which they wish repeated. 



POSTAL ORDERS.— To Advertisers, Subscribers, and 

 Others. — It is very important in Remitting by Postal Order 

 that it should be filled in payable to No. 42, DRURY LANE, 

 to W. RICHARDS, as, unless the number of a Postal Order is 

 knoiun, and it has been made payable at a particular office, and 

 to a particular person, it is impossible to prevent any person 

 into whose hands it may fall from negotiating it. 



N.B. -The best and safest means of Remitting is by POST- 

 OFFICE ORDER.
