GENERAL INFORMATION 
TERMS: Cash with Order. No C. O. D. shipments of live stock goods. © All prices are quoted net f. 0. b. San 
Francisco, California, and subject to change without notice. 
SHIPPING: The best of care will be taken in selecting, packing and shipping your order. 
Fish will be sent in cans which are furnished at cost (25c to 50c) ; for larger orders of fifty or more, cans 
are loaned without charge, but they must be returned immediately by prepaid express (20c per can from 
anywhere in the United States). Each returnable shipping can holds an average of about fifty fish 
and the gross weight is about 40 pounds. 
Shipping season for fish: Goldfish may be shipped safely except in extremely hot weather. Tropical 
fishes are best sent during the warm months, but we have been successful in shipping them in all but 
the coldest winter weather. 
ADJUSTMENTS: Although in practically all cases we ship successfully to all parts of the United States, 
losses will occur at times. Once the fish are delivered to the express company, we have no way of con- 
trolling conditions thereafter. We shall, however, make liberal adjustments 
upon receipt of a Bad Order Report filled out completely by the Railway Express Agency. Any claim 
should be promptly filled out upon receipt of the merchandise. 
PERISHABLE OR FRAGILE GOODS will be sent by express. Light or small articles 
may be sent by parcel post. Heavy or Bulky Goods which do not require immediate 
delivery will be sent by freight to reduce transportation charges. 
SELECTION AND SUBSTITUTION: We are always glad to suggest selections of fishes and plants suit- 
able for your pool or aquarium. Sometimes, due to unusual demands, we may lack certain items or- 
dered and unless otherwise instructed, we shall substitute to avoid delay in sending your order. 
We shall ship with the understanding that the above conditions have been agreed to by the purchaser.
