HOUSE & GARDEN SHOPPING SERVICE 
Without service charge, House & Garden’s Shopping Service will buy for you any 
articles editorially mentioned in House & Garden. This includes the things shown on 
pages devoted to special sales of the month; also the various articles described in 
“Seen in the Shops”, and in other departments of the magazine. When ordering 
articles advertised in House & Garden, it usually saves time to write direct to the shop. 
For Your Convenience and Ours 
1. Please write plainly— especially your 
name and address. Use one side of paper 
only. When an answer is required, enclose 
stamped, self-addressed envelope for reply. 
2. Give page and issue. When ordering 
any article mentioned in House & Garden, 
please give date of issue and number of 
page on which it appeared. 
3. Cheque or money order. Enclose your 
cheque or money order to cover cost of 
desired articles. If price is unknown, send 
approximate amount. Should a balance re¬ 
main after purchase, it will be refunded 
promptly. Cheques should be made pay¬ 
able to House & Garden. 
4. Insufficient remittances. In case your 
remittance is insufficient, you will be noti¬ 
fied promptly. Articles cannot be forward¬ 
ed until the full amount has been received. 
5. Deliveries. Unless otherwise requested, 
all orders will be sent express collect. 
Charges will be prepaid, however, when 
approximate amount is enclosed for that 
purpose. Orders cannot be sent C.O.D. by 
the shop. When ordering small articles, 
include sufficient postage for mailing. Or¬ 
ders that are shipped at once will not be 
acknowledged, but if your order is un¬ 
avoidably delayed in shipment, we will 
inform you; so if, after a reasonable time, 
you receive neither the package nor an 
acknowledgment, please notify us. 
6. Articles on approval. By special ar¬ 
rangement made at the time of ordering, 
articles may be sent on approval in the 
United States only. In such case the ex¬ 
press both ways will be at your expense. 
7. Returned articles should be addressed 
directly to the House & Garden Shopping 
Service, not to the .shop. This will avoid 
considerable delay in the adjustment of 
your account and the refunding of your 
remittance. 
8. No charge accounts. To avoid book¬ 
keeping, House & Garden Shopping Ser¬ 
vice opens no charge accounts; nor can 
House & Garden undertake to charge pur¬ 
chases to the individual account in the 
shop from which they are bought. 
9. No samples. The House & Garden 
Shopping Service cannot undertake to send 
samples. 
10. Specify size. When ordering garments 
of any kind, be sure to state your size. 
Always, in ordering any article, give us 
the fullest possible idea of your prefer¬ 
ences in color, style, material, etc. 
11. Second choice. Wherever possible, 
please name an alternative or second 
choice, in case article desired is no longer 
obtainable. 
There is no charge for any of these commissions. Every reader of House & Garden 
is cordially invited to make use of the House & Garden Shopping Service whenever 
it can be of any possible assistance. Address
