TO CORRESPONDENTS 



Do not forget to Sign your Name, and Please be Particular to 

 Write your Name, Post Ofl3.ce, County and State, clear and distinct. — 



We are in constant receipt of letters containing money, whose signatures it is 

 almost impossible to make out. Others with no signature at all. Most of these 

 we have been able to trace, but some having illegible post-marks, and no post 

 office. County or State, cannot be found. 



Please always Sign the same Name ; failure to do this, frequently causes 

 annoyance and trouble of the most vexatious kind. We cannot know that Mary 

 E. Smith and Mrs. John W. Smith is the same person. 



Always write the order, including name and address entirely separate from 

 the body of the letter. 



We send a neat Order Sheet and printed envelope, with each catalogue, 

 which will be found convenient for sending orders. Shall be pleased to supply 

 more of these when wanted 



All letters and orders received are answered by first mail. In case 

 customers do not hear from us within a reasonable time^ they should 

 notify us immediately^ send duplicate order ^ and be particular to give 

 the date of the previous order ; ivhere it was mailed; the amount of 

 m.oney enclosed — whether P. 0. order ^ draft^ or cash. If by P. 0. order 

 or bank draft^ the number is very important^ as this will enable us to trace 

 it up. An exact compliance with these requirements will enable us to 

 respond with the least possible delay.
