Always give plain shipping direc-
lions, giving the line on which your
station is located, unless it is a we'll
known point, and If a prepay station,
20 state.
Is your Business Agent looking out
for the financial interest of your mem
bers7 If not, why not! See to 1T that
your Agent gets THE PROGRESSIVE FAR
AER and that he keeps you posted on
prices.
It is expected that you will take this
DaDer to YOUR Sub Alliance, show it to
the brethren and talk freely with them
about what it contains. Dc the same
with every circular, or price list that
YOU receive from this office.
Unless you area bonded agent, please
accompany each order with sufficient
money to pay the bill. 1t is positively
forbidden by the State Executive Com
mittee that the State Business Agent
should send out goods except L such
cases..
All brethren wishing to purchase
garden seed of any kind will find 1t TO
their interest to place their orders with
this office. By so doing they will get
% per cent. off of published catalogue
prices, and there will still remain a
small brokerage to the State Alliance.
VIII the brethren bear in mind that
80 bacon" is smoked sides, and that it
costs about one cent more per pound
than bulk meat! If you want bulk
meat, or white sides, please don't call
It bacon" You get yourself and this
office into trouble by doing so. Stick

DEAR SIR:-I used lastyear for grow

Jour other brands. The other brands
cost me $25, $50, $32 and $40 respec-
lively, with no difference in results,
Yours, Z. EDWARDS.
As the amount of bill of some goods
cannot always be determined before
hand. be sure to send enough money to
pay it. If you send too much it will be
placed to your credit. If you wish
small amounts returned, state if you
have any preference as to how it shall
be sent, whether by registered mail,
check or in stamps.
\ registered package containing $67,
and with no letter or name, was re-
ceived at the State Business Agents
office today. Whose is it? The sender
will please notify me, as l cannot tell
who to credit with this amount.
Please be careful to sign your name
and postofice address to every COM
munication sent to this Office.
Do not expect to get your goods on
ahe day after you order. Remember
that no goods are kept in stock at this
office. Your order will bemailed to the
manufacturer or wholesale dealer on
the same day on which it is received at
this office. If you live on a through
line some classes of goods can reach
you within two or three days, others
will require a week or ten days.
Your bill of lading always calls for
goods in "good order" Be careful to
examine every package before taking
it out of the depot, or before surrender
ing your bill of lading. The transpor-
tati0n company is compelled to deliver
in good order or make the deficiency
good. If you surrender your bill Of
lading before this is done you have no
claim on them for it.
In all cases where goods are adver-
used to be delivered without freight
charges, you will be expected to pay
whatever charges are due at your sta
Gion and send to this Office your freight
DILL as so much cash, or with request
TO remit. Now, remember this and
don't get cross because you have to pay
the freight. In many instances this
arrangement is ue 3essary in order to
save delay in shipping.
Under u present system of business,
with Sub-Agents trading directly with
the State Ageut, we already have, and
expect to have, a still larger number of

request all who open accounts with this
office to begin right and make a
note Of every transaction. Should at
any time an error on our part Occurr,
notify usat once, pointing out as clearly
As possible where the error lies.
Those who want implements for
spring and summer work should not
wait till they are needed before order
ing, but should begin to investigate, get
prices and be prepared to order when
wanted. The Agency can supply you
most things in this line, but if you are
so stuck on" a certain pillow, mower,
etc. that you can work with no other,
we will frequently be unable to supply
you, We car supply implements in
most lines, but not all makes. Why?
because if you will buy a certain make
