16. All subscriptions for premiums are credited to the Sender, whether the papers are sent to one Post-office, or to a dozen or more offices.
17. Express or freight charges are usually low on premium articles. The cost can be best learned at one’s own office.
18. The articles in this list are for sale at the prices given. No article will be sent by express C. O. D. unless a remittance of one half the price accompanies the order. We will register any premium sent by mail, thus insuring its safe arrival, if ten cents extra is sent us for registry fee. If sent unregistered, we cannot hold ourselves responsible for its non-receipt.
Special Instructions.
19. A remittance should be made by a Post-office order; by a registered letter; by American Express money order; or by a bank check. These four ways are safe. Remittances for small amounts may be made by postal notes or stamps, but not at our risk.
20. Write your name and address, and the names of your subscribers, and their Post-office address, very plainly, every time you write.
21. Sign your name to your letter every time you write.
Delays in Receiving Premiums.
22. If any article which you have ordered does not come by the next mail do not feel at all anxious, and do not write at once. You should wait five, ten, or perhaps fifteen days, according to the distance you are from Boston. If you have occasion to write, please follow these rules: Give the date when you mailed the order. Specify how you sent money, and how much money you enclosed.
