PARCEL POST RATE INSTRUCTIONS 
In small bundle shipments, prepaid parcel 
post is the cheapest way of shipping. By send- 
ing necessary amount for postage in advance 
you save the 25 cents C. O. D. fee collected by 
the Post Office Department on delivery. If you 
wish small shipments prepaid on items not 
listed as prepaid in our catalog, consult table 
at right, for correct amount needed for pre- 
paid parcel post. Small shipments are cheap- 
est by being prepaid. If you do not include 
postage with your remittance we shall assume 
that you want your stock shipped C. O. D. for 
postage charges. For postage rates, first look 
in which group you live, then consult the group 
at right for necessary postage, include this 
amount with your order and we will ship pre- 
paid.
