C'oiiiiti’y Cliilss, Hand and Wagon Peddlers, .and small 
stores (of which class we are supplying many thousands, all 
of which are doing well), can have their orders promptly and 
faithfully fdled; and in case of clubs, can have each p.arty's 
name marked on their, packages as directed by sending their 
orders to Nos. 31 and 33 Vesej'-st. 
Our friends are getting up Cluhs in most towns throughout 
the country, and for which we feel very grateful. Some of 
our Clubs send orders weekly, some not so often, while 
others keen a standing order to be supplied with a given 
quantity each week, or .at stated periods. And in all cases 
(where a sufflcicnt time has elapsed) Clubs have repeated 
their orders. 
Parlies sending Club or other orders for less than thirty 
dollar.9, had better send Post-OIIlce drafts, or money with 
their orders, to save the expense of collections by express ; 
but larger orders we ivill forward by express, to collect on 
delivery. 
AVe return thanks to parties who have taken an Inter¬ 
est in getting up Clubs. And when any of them come to 
New York, we shall be pleased to liavc them call upon us 
and make themselves known. 
Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to the 
party getting up the CLUB. Our profits are small, but we 
will be as liberal as we can .afford.
