Look at Your Label.

We have adopted the use Of mail
ine machine in our office and hereafter
each address will be printed instead Of
written. By this we will be enabled to
mail our large lists more readily and
RAPIDLY. and the names being plainly
nrinted will be an advantage to the
nostmasters also, making mistakes less
liable. And then again the printed
address and dates serve the purpose Of
a receipt for the subscriber, informing
him each mail to what time his sub
scription is paid up. If he does not pay
at time of ordering the paper sent
it is dated from the time the sub
scription commences. For instance :
John Smith subscribes July LIST, 1889,
but does not pay at the time, his adj
dress would appear thus: John Smith
July 80. If paid in advance for one
year it would be so printed on the
label, making it read l July 90. By
this means our friends can keep up
with the date of their subscription and
also when it expires without being
notified by us. Then if the paper Is
not wanted continued a One-cent postal
card or a word to us in person will be
all that is necessary to stop it.
