entered on our books until the money is received.

5. Do not wait to make up your whole list before sending. Send the first
two names, _stating that they are to be placed to your credit for a
premium_, and add more as you get them.

6. Bear in mind that we do not give a premium or open an account for
less than _two_ subscriptions (one of which, however, may be your own);
but, _after the account is opened_, you may add one subscription at a
time if you choose--never omitting to state in your letter _that it is
to go to your credit for a premium_.

7. Write the name and address of each subscriber plainly, and =always
state whether a renewal or a new name=; and when you call for your
premium, be sure to give your own name and address so plainly that it
cannot be mistaken.

8. Date your letters carefully, and state in them always the exact
amount of money sent, and the form in which it is sent--whether in
Bank-bills, Check or Postal-order. _It is a good plan to keep a copy of
your letter._

9. If you do not receive the magazine promptly in response to your
remittance, or if you do not promptly receive any premium that you may
have ordered, notify us _immediately_, stating always the _date_ of your
previous letter. Wait a sufficient time for ordinary delays of the
mail--_but no longer_.

HOW TO REMIT.

1. If you are near a Money-order Post Office, remit always by a _Postal
Money-order_. Money can be sent in this way at very small expense, and
with absolute safety.

2. The next best mode of remittance is a check on a _Boston_, _New
York_, or _Philadelphia Bank_. All other checks subject us to expense in
collecting: to cover this, add fifteen cents.

3. Money may be sent by mail, in a letter carefully sealed and directed,
and prepaid by stamps. It is advisable always to have the letter
_registered_. Letters can be registered in any Post Office.

[Illustration: Right index] If, in making change, you find any
difficulty in procuring Postal currency, bear in mind that we will
accept _Postage-stamps_ as currency.

_All remittances are at the risk of the sender._ Direct to the
