BESPON SIBILIT Y. 
It can be readily understood that we do all in our power to ensure that 
all goods shipped by the firm are packed and sent out in the best possible 
condition, so that they will be delivered to the consignees in such a state that 
will secure their good-will for future orders ; but we wish it to be distinctly 
understood that our responsibility ceases when the packages are delivered on 
board ship, or to the care of whatever local agents may be appointed by pur- 
chasers to accept delivery in Japan. 
Possibly , through the failure of a crop, it may be impracticable to execute 
given orders. In such cases we must decline to accept any responsibility 
save the return of the remittances that may be sent to defray the cost of the 
orders which we are unable to fill. 
On account of the tardy methods of doing business among Japanese, 
great delays are occasionally experienced in even the smallest transactions. 
It is therefore respectfully requested, in the interests of all parties, that in- 
tending purchasers will kindly send their orders as early as possible. 
SHIPPING. 
If no special instructions in the matter of shipping accompany an order, 
we ship the goods over that line which our long experience in the business 
leads us to believe will be the best. In our selection of a route we consider 
that our partron’s interests are the same as our own — the most expeditious 
and economical delivery of goods in proper condition to the nearest port, being 
what is sought for. 
Patrons desirous of ordering by telegraph will please note cable code annexed
