 sending orders direct to us. 



ALL GOODS IN THIS CATALOGUE are offered subject to being unsold 

 on receipt of order, and the prices quoted are subject to change without notice. 



ADVANCE ORDERS, CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE. All advance

 unless 25% of their value accompanies the order. 



ACCOUNTS — Parties having no account with us — who order goods with- 

 out remittance — must furnish satisfactory reference. New York City reference 

 preferred on account of the shorter delay pending investigation.
