"TROPICAL FISH AND HOVf TO HANDLE ON ARRIVAL" 
1st, 
All fish leave here in robust healthy condition, but on account 
of some trips being rather long, it is best to handle them care ¬ 
fully and properly when they arrive . 
Leave your telephone number with the Express people , with instructions that 
they call you immediately on arrival the shipment. 
^n^ Meet the train and take shipment off yourself. This eliminates the danger 
of a shipment being dragged all around town before it is delivered to you, . 
Such trucking is dangerous , whether it be Y/inter or Summer . 
3rd, Take thermometer with you and tost water tomperaturo at Express Office. 
If same is below 70, the fish have been chilled and you should get a Bad 
Order Report, 
4th, On arrival home, it is always best to have a clean aquarium ready for the 
new arrivals* They should not be put with your other fish ^or at least 
two or three days. Strain the water from out of our cans and put as much 
of it as you can into your aquarium. Then, float our fish in jars into 
your aquarium , so that the temperature in jar equalizes with that in the 
aquarium . It is also best to add a little salt to your water, about 
three large teaspoonfuls to every twenty (20) gallons oi* water. This will 
act as a tonic and will noF bother your plants,
