Cash Must Accompany Order 



Unless you have a satisfactory rating with either Dun's or Bradstreet's Commercial 

 Agency, or can give me satisfactory Bank Reference, or have already had sufficient dealings 

 with me to satisfy me of your financial reliability, the cash must accompany your order. If, 

 however, you have either of the above three requirements and your order is for space 

 amounting to over $2.00 I will neither require nor ask for a single cent's pay until I prove to 

 you 



1st - By my printer's affidavit that I have issued 25.00D copies of the Easter edition of Nat- 

 ural Science News. 



2d— By my P. O. postage receipts that I have mailed at least 20,000 of the number. 



Rates to regular advertisers will not be advanced. I will not, however, allow them to 

 use more than the average number of lines which they agree to use in each issue for the entire 

 year at this heavy loss to myself. Should they wish to increase the size of their regular adver- 

 tisement, however, they can do so at the regular rate, for this issue, of lOcts per line. 



First and Last Pages 



Are always considered more desirable by many, although the Publisher knows that every 

 page in this issue will be "religiously" read. However, if you consider the first or last page 

 preferable and are willing to back your preference with the "price," I will sell the space on 

 these pages as follows: 



On the first page: Small "Want, Exchange and For Sale" advs. on First page will 

 cost $1.00 per notice of 35 words or under. Exceeding 35 words, 3 cts per each additional word. 



The Last Page Will be sold to a single party or firm and will not be divided. My price 

 for the same will be $50 net. 



This Easter issue is sure to prove a ' howling success" and it is my desire to have you "in 

 t" and share in the fruits thereof. 



Expecting to hear from you at an early date, providing you wish to 

 share in the success of the issue, I remain, as ever 



Faithfully, 



FRANK H. LATTIN, Publisher, ALBION, N. Y.
