 refund the amount paid for stock ordered upon proper proof that

 are not responsible. 



RECEIVING STOCK IN COLD WEATHER 



In event it should turn cold after your stock has been shipped 

 to you and there is a possibility that there is frost in the box in 

 which the stock is shipi>ed, put the box in a place where the 

 temperature is above freezing — a cellar or a frost-proof building 

 and do not disturb for 5 to 7 days, at which time stock can be 

 removed from the box in first-class condition. Under no circum- 

 stances should you open a box when you think there is frost in it. 

 it will kill it. But if allowed to thaw out in the box, the stock 

 will not be injured. Be sure and follow this practice.
