INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING 
Packing. No charges made for packing retail orders going 
to any part of the United States. We pack stock as lightly 
as possible, consistent, of course, with the distance it must 
travel. We assume no responsibility for the safe arrival of 
goods after they have been accepted by the carriers and 
found to be in good order. 
Export Shipments. Charges ore made covering cost of 
materials used in export packing. We also arrange at cus¬ 
tomers' expense when necessary for drayage, insurance, 
consular invoices, etc. Particular care is exercised in export 
packing and customers are assured that stock shipped by 
us will arrive in good condition. 
Inspection. Points of terminal inspection in several counties 
have been recently reduced in numbers, which may cause 
some delays in the deliveries of shipments. If the nearest 
point of inspection is mentioned in ordering we will gladly 
make shipment in care of your agricultural inspector with 
instructions to re-forward after, inspection. This will greatly 
expedite delivery. 
Errors. If any mistakes are made in filling orders we will 
cheerfully rectify them, but must respectfully request our 
customers to notify us within ten days after receipt of the 
goods. 
Prices. Unless otherwise noted are for stock delivered at 
our nearest postoffice, express or freight depot. Prices are 
subject to change without notice. 
Remittances. All of our stock is sold for cash unless other 
arrangements are made. No order will be sent C. O. D. 
unless accompanied by one-quarter the amount of the
