Freight Orders 
The rates below which are for your convenience and general reference are es¬ 
timated rates and are not to be accepted as actual. 
The freight rate you actually pay is exactly the same no matter who 
makes the shipment, as freight rates are not determined by the 
shipper, or by the railroad. They are controlled by the Interstate 
Commerce Commission. 
If you would like to know what the actual freight charge will be on any article 
or order, ask your Station Agent, telling him the exact weight as stated in our 
catalog and where the article will be shipped from, or write to Sears Personal 
Service and we will gladly figure it for you. 
Freight Is Economical 
When your merchandise is sent by freight, shipping charges are much less than 
other methods of transportation. Of course, 100 pounds or more is the most 
economical freight shipment, because all railroads charge as much for carrying 
less than 100 pounds as they do for a full 100 pound shipment. When the weight 
of your order is more than 100 pounds you pay freight charges based on the actual 
weight, but in no case less than the minimum charge which is 50c. 
Build Your Order up to TOO Pounds—or More 
Add up carefully the shipping weights of the articles on your freight order, and 
if the total weight is less than 100 pounds, it will pay you to build it up to 100 
pounds or more. Why not have one or two of your neighbors or friends join with 
you to make up a shipment of 100 pounds or more, as it costs no more to ship 100 
pounds by freight than it does less than 100 pounds. The additional saving will 
be worth while. 
Save You Most 
Warehouse and Factory Shipments 
We ship much of our heavier merchandise direct from warehouses and factories 
near you to save you transportation costs. The descriptions of this merchandise 
give you these various points of shipment. These articles must be shipped 
separately and cannot be included with goods shipped from our store. 
How to Estimate Freight Charges 
If you want to estimate freight charges and you do not know how far you live 
from our mail order store, refer to map on the parcel post page for approximate 
distance. Figure up the total weight of your order from the shipping weights given 
in the descriptions in this catalog. Then, by referring to the chart below, you can 
easily estimate the freight charges. The actual charge may be slightly more or 
less, especially when the shipment weighs less than 100 pounds. In such cases the 
minimum freight charge applies. 
Example: Suppose you live about 200 miles from PHILADELPHIA and order 
an incubator weighing 125 pounds. The list below shows the freight charges for 
100 pounds on incubators to be 64c. Multiply the shipping weight, 125 pounds 
(1 Vi times the hundred pound rate), by 64c and your answer is 80c, the approximate 
total freight charge. 
If There Is a Freight Agent at your station you pay the freight charges when 
you receive your shipment. 
If There Is No Freight Agent at your station, be sure to include with your 
order sufficient money in addition to the price of the merchandise to cover the 
freight charges. We always return every penny you send over actual amount 
required to ship your order.
