NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.— 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- 

 tisement 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 

 known, 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 P0S2- 

 OFFICE ORDER.
