We pay premiums in good faith. We expect them to be earned in good faith. A subscriber may stop one magazine and become a new subscriber to another; but change of a magazine from one name to another in a family is not a new subscription. Your own subscription (if new) may count with others (not alone) for premiums. We have got to draw the line somewhere. We don’t reckon too closely, nor suspect bad faith too readily. We prefer to deal a little generously; but we don’t intend to be really imposed upon.
Direct to D. Lothrop Company
To be entitled to premiums you must send subscriptions direct to the publishers, not to another agent. We don’t pay twice for the same subscription.
Whose agent you are
You are entrusted with money for us by the subscribers you get. You are their agent, not ours. Be faithful to them. Send their names and money as soon as you get them. You are responsible to them till we get the names, addresses and money together. Then you are free.
When a subscription begins
Subscriptions begin at any time. If you neglect to name a date, we guess as well as we can.
The volumes begin as follows: Wide Awake, December and June; Chautauqua Young Folks’ Journal, December; Pansy, November; Our Little Men and Women, January; Babyland, January.
Requirements
No deviation in prices; no credit (send name, address and money together); remit by post-office money order, by American Express Company’s money order, by registered letter or by bank check (postage stamps may be sent in registered letters for change); write plainly and fully; give subscribers’ full addresses (they may be different); sign your name and give your full address in every communication.
