DIRECTIONS FOR ORDERING GOODS 
r. Write the name of your Town, County and State, and your own name 
distinctly. 
2. State carefully how you wish your goods forwarded, by mail, express, or 
otherwise. Freight should be used as little as possible, and is at customer's risk, 
3. Parties not having a credit already established will understand the necessity 
of giving reliable references (Philadelphia or New York preferred), or of enclosing 
remittance to cover amount of purchase. Any orders unaccompanied by either 
references or cash will be declined or sent by express, C.O.D., including the 
charges for returning the money. If goods are ordered to be shipped C.O.D., 
sufficient money should be sent, as part payment, to cover expressage both ways. 
In remitting with the order, you will save the expense of collection. 
4. Remittances can be made without risk, by Money Orders, Checks or 
Drafts to our order. 
5. Goods not exceeding four pounds may be sent by mail, at the cost of i 
cent per ounce, when the remittance is made with the order. When goods are 
ordered by mail add sufficient to cover postage — any surplus will be returned 
with the goods. 
6. Articles sent by mail cannot be traced and are only sent at customer's 
risk, unless registered, and as this costs only 8 cents additional, we request our 
customers to instruct us to have their packages registered. In no case will we 
be responsible for their loss. 
7. When you re-order an article do not say "same as last," but refer to your 
invoice and word your order the same as the invoice, and in referring to back 
invoices give the date. 
8. State distinctly the name of the articles desired, and their Catalogue num- 
bers. Do not mutilate the book by cutting: out the illustrations* 
9. All goods will be carefully packed, and can be safely transported to any 
part of the country; therefore, for all delays or damages the purchaser must look 
to the transporters of the goods, who alone are legally responsible for their prompt 
and safe delivery. 
10. Should there be any mistake or overcharge on our part, in filling an 
order, it will afford us much pleasure to correct it on receiving prompt notice of 
the same, as it is our desire to give entire satisfaction in every transaction. 
11. When Instruments for Repairing, Sharpening, Polishing or Nickel- 
plating are sent to us, the name and address of the person sending them should 
accompany the package, to enable us to return them to their owner. 
12. The privilege of changing the prices in this Catalogue is reserved, as the 
fluctuations in the cost of materials and wages may require. 
Attention to the foregoing directions will enable us to fill all orders, large or 
small, as satisfactorily to the purchaser, as though he were present to make his 
own selections.
