there be any excuse for all this waste
ful carelessness Tho moral is plair
enough. Don't send things Of value
unless you know where to direct them
Write your directions distinctly, mari
each and every letter or package " re
turn if not called for" and If you can
1, not comply explicitly with these neces
sary regulations, don't send anything
riff you must, carry it yourself. Tha
is the surest way Pittsburgh Erenin!
