HOW TO SEND MONEY. 



Money can be Sent Safely by Post OfB.ce Orders on West Grove, 

 (Pa.), Registered Letters, or Bank Draft on New York or Philadel- 

 phia. Post OflQ.ce Orders are preferable when they can be obtained, because 

 there is no possibility of the money being lost. The order may be lost or 

 stolen, but duplicates can always be had when properly applied for. 



Letters can be Registered at every Post-Office in the United States, the 

 charge for registering is 10 cents. 



Bank Drafts on New York or Philadelphia are also safe, and can be had of 

 all banks or bankers. 



When Money is Sent us in either of these ways it is at our Risk, 

 AND WE Guarantee it to Arrive Safely, besides this we add a Pre- 

 mium Rose for every Remittance made in this way. 



Please do not send us personal checks for small amounts on distant banks, 

 as the cost of collection is frequently considerable. 



Small Sums are just as likely to be lost in the mails as larger ones, and as 

 the risk can so easily be avoided, it is always better to do so. 



Send the Money with the Order. — The money must in all cases accom- 

 pany the order. The vast number of letters and orders to be answered by every 

 mail renders it impossible to keep open accounts with each customer. The 

 price of each article is plainly marked, so that every one can tell the exact cost, 

 and we always aim to do a little better than we promise.
