Remittances should be made either in the form of 

 an Express Money Order or a P. O. Money Order 

 Bank Draft or Registered Letter. 



Customers can also shop by Express, as all express 

 companies have purchasing departments in all their 

 offices. They make no charge other than they 

 return expressage.
