In some orders, there are trees which must go by express. and 
also some stock which would go parcel post. In order to avoid mak- 
ing two separate shipments, we send the entire order by express. 
For this privilege, we include extra stock which has a greater value 
than the additional express charges amount to. When choosing 
this additional stock, we will choose that stock which fits in with 
your order.
