REMARKS 
To My Friends and the Trade Generally: 
( WISH to express my thanks for all past favors and to solicit a share 
of your future patronafje. My stock is all well grown and young; 
and though limited in supply will be furnished at prices named while 
it lasts. My lists of varieties comprises the leading sorts, and I shall 
give the purchaser his selection as far as possible, but reserve the 
right to myself where not forbidden, and do not have sorts named. 
Where parties forbid substituting, shall fill the orders only so far as I 
can supply the sorts wanted, but if possible please give your second 
choice in case I am out of those varieties named as your first choice. 
Giving my personal attention to the business, I shall exercise the 
greatest care and endeavor to have all trees, shrubs and plants, true 
to name. Yet I do not give any warranty, expressed or implied, and 
in case of any error on my part, it is hereby mutually agreed between 
the purchaser and myself that I shall not at any time be held respon- 
sible for a greater amount than the original price>f the goods. 
Terms: Cash, or satisfactory security before shipment. Orders to 
be sent “C. O. D.” must be accompanied with one-fourth the amount 
in cash. 
Reference: First National Bank, Normal, Illinois. 
Prices: Prices herein are limited to the spring of 190(i, and rule 
only when the number specified is taken; •'5 will be furnishsd at 10 rates; 
50 at 100 rates; 500 at 1,000 rates. 
Packing: The prices do not include packing, for which I charge 
moderately. Packing is done mostly in boxes, sometimes in bales or 
parcels, for which I charge only sufficient to cover cost. For boxes 8 
or 9 feet by 24 feet, $2.50; 10 feet by 3 feet, $3.50. Smaller boxes in 
proportion. Spring packing usually begins about the middle of March. 
Remit by postal orders, bank drafts on New York, St. Louis or 
Chicago, payable to the order of GFO. J. POSTER, or currency by 
e.xpress, prepaid. 
All articles, after leaving my hands in good condition, are entire- 
ly at the risk of the purchaser, and no complaint will be allowed, un- 
less made within ten days after receipt of goods. 
My shipping facilties are excellent. Normal, a suburb of Bloom- 
ington has the benefit of rates of the latter place both for railroad 
and express matter. The I. C. R. R. and branches, C. & A. R. R. and 
branches, L. E. & W., and Big Pour R. R.’s and American and United 
States Express Companies are all convenient. 
All orders will have my personal and prompt attention.
