Shipping Methods 
T HE use of our Order Blank will be of assistance to you, 
and to us. Please fill out all the information requested, so 
as to avoid delays and mis-shipment. If you write regard¬ 
ing your pool or aquarium, always use a separate sheet of * 
paper. 
HOW WE SHIP—We prefer to ship all perishable or 
fragile articles by Express Collect, but plants and small sup¬ 
plies can be sent by Parcel Post when specifically i-equested, 
and when 10% additional is sent to cover the Postage charges. 
Goldfish, Tropical Fish and other items in water, must go by 
Express. They cannot be sent any other way. 
ORDER EARLY—To be sure that you will get everything 
that you want, we request that you order early in Spring, as it 
is impossible to carry our complete line of fish and plants 
through the entire Spring Season. The articles ordered will 
be reserved for you and shipments made at the proper time 
for your locality. TROPICAL LILIES will not be shipped to 
any of the Northern States before June 1st, as weather condi¬ 
tions do not permit safe planting until then. 
GUARANTEE OF FISH, ETC.—We guarantee live arrival of 
Goldfish, Tropical Fish and Scavengers, with these exceptions: 
We do not guarantee live delivery of extra large Goldfish, or 
Mated Pairs during the period from May 10th to end of August, 
and we do not guarantee live arrival of Tropical Fish during 
very cold weather. 
STANDARD NON-WARRANTY—We have adopted the 
standard non-warranty of the Goldfish Growers Associations, 
which is as follows: Lakeview' Ponds makes no warranty, ex¬ 
pressed or implied, with reference to any merchandise sold by 
us, except as to certified size and quality, and that all stock 
shall be true to name; and our liability in any case shall be 
limited to the replacement of such items as are short or 
damaged. 
GUARANTEE OF PLANTS—We guarantee to ship you best 
quality plants true to name, and to have them arrive in good 
condition. In case of error, we will adjust our mistake, but 
w'ill not be responsible for more than the amount paid us, nor 
and Terms of Sale 
can we be responsible for growth of plants after they are 
received by customers, since we no longer have control of such 
conditions as light, soil, water, and care. 
CLAIMS FOR DAMAGE—In case any shipment is received 
from us in bad condition from the Express Company, fill out 
the Company’s “Received in Bad Order” slip and send it to us 
at once, together with information as to how water w'as 
changed (in the case of Goldfish shipments), and all other 
details. We w’ill replace such losses by an additional ship¬ 
ment on which charges only are to be paid by you. However, 
we are NOT responsible for Aquarium Breakage. Claims for 
such losses are always handled by the Transportation Com¬ 
panies. 
SHIPPING CANS—Small orders for Goldfish and Tropical 
Fish must carry an additional remittance of 50c for shipping 
can which may then be kept. Larger orders of Goldfish may 
be shipped in our special cans at no additional charge to you, 
provided the can is promptly returned by Express Prepaid, 
for w'hich there is a special return rate of only 20c per can, 
from any point in the U. S. A DEPOSIT of $2.00 is asked on 
insulated shipping cans used for Tropical Fish, which will 
be returned when the can comes back to us. 
TERMS—All orders must be paid for in full before ship¬ 
ment can be made. We do not ship C.O.D. REMITTANCE 
may be by Postal Money Order, Express Money Order, or by 
check, and should be made payable to LAKEVIEW PONDS. 
All merchandise is quoted F.O.B. Cincinnati, Ohio, unless 
otherw'ise stated. This means that transportation charges are 
to be paid by customers, except on special items and collec¬ 
tions, w'here it is stated that charges are prepaid by us. 
PRICES—Our prices are as low as can be quoted for 
quality merchandise from a reliable concern. By paying the 
transportation charges you are buying most advantageously, 
for our prices are determined on this basis, and our central 
location assures you low delivery costs. Due to the uncertain 
conditions prevailing, all prices are subject to advance without 
notice. 
Remedies and Miscellaneous Supplies 
pH TESTING KIT—(For Tropical Fish Aquariums.) 
—This is a complete set of chemicals and apparatus to test, 
and to control the pH of aquarium or tank water. (pH is a 
chemical symbol used to express the degree of chemical acidity 
or alkalinity of water.) By using the test tube with a few 
drops of Bromthymol Blue solution you can determine what 
degree of pH you have, and correct it to the recommended 
quality as described in books on Tropical Fish. Complete 
directions in each set. 
Per set, complete, prepaid, each, $1.85. 
OXYGEN TESTING KIT—(For Tropical Fish Aquariums.) 
—Recently an oxygen testing set has been developed for use of 
Aquarists. By following instructions you can determine 
whether your aquariums contain enough oxygen for healthy 
conditions. (When in doubt use more (/rowing plants and 
artificial light at night, or an aerator at times.) However, if 
you want to KNOW the chemical condition in respect to the 
absorbed oxygen in the water, the set is available and easy 
to use. 
Per set, complete, express prepaid, each, $3.50. 
STANDARD REMEDIES—Modern books on Goldfish and 
Tropical Fish recommend these standard remedies to treat sick 
fish. (See also our instructions opposite.) (A) Mercurochrome 
for treating Tropical Fish that have been chilled, or that have 
the Ick, and for treating mild cases of fungus on Goldfish. 
(B) Common Salt. Generally used 1 ounce of salt per gallon 
of water. (C) Acetic Acid 33%, to dip Goldfish in Spring. 
(Our one-minute health dip.) 
SPECIAL REMEDIES—In addition to the above standard 
remedies we offer the following special remedies. 
TURKS ISLAND SALT—Recommended by many authorities 
on Aquarium Fish for use as a tonic for weak fish, for fungus 
remedy, and for disinfecting aquariums and plants. Furnished 
in 1%-lb. containers. Directions on the package. 
Per package, 20c. 
FISH LICE REMEDY—At times during the warm Summer 
months Goldfish become infested with a sucking parasite about 
to diameter called the Fish Louse, which is easily 
visible. (See Page 24.) We can now recommend a new remedy 
called “CESPPABA,” furnished in tablet form. One tablet 
treats ten gallons of water and the fish lice will leave the fish 
in two dags. A small drip of fresh water can be used while 
treating the fish, but the strength should be increased after 24 
hours, and fish removed to clean water the third day. (Instruc¬ 
tions with each lot of tablets.) The tablets will . kill the lice 
in about five dags if the water is kept at proper strength. 
Per tablet, 20c. 7 for $1.00. (Postpaid.) 
too POWER MICROSCOPE—We find the use 
of a microscope indispensable in the pursuit of 
our business. We must often investigate the 
minute organisms in the water in order to deter¬ 
mine healthy conditions for our fish. To raise 
baby fish on “Infusoria” you must be able to see 
these organisms in a drop of water. This micro¬ 
scope is just the thing. It has rack and pinion 
focusing, and is a thoroughly dependable instru¬ 
ment for amateur use. Made in America. Price, 
complete with case and two glass slides. 
Each (add postage, 35c), $5.00. 
Larger Sizes to magnify from lOOx to 425x 
(in steps of 25x) available at $12.50 to $18.50 
F.O.B. Cincinnati. These larger instruments can 
be arranged to take photomicrographs. Instruc¬ 
tions furnished. 
Slide Sets—Ten assorted slides, with instructions for pre¬ 
paring and preserving specimens. (Not needed by aquarists, 
but fine for study, if interested.) 
Each (add postage 35c), $3.50.
