To GET PUBLICATIONS
OF THE GOVERNMENT

No doubt most people interested
In useful reading matter will thank
us for information, obtained through
official sources, as toehow public doe
uments can be procured with least
trouble and at triffng expense. The
idea that prevails most generally,
that this class of literature may be
secured through the courtesy OF
Members of Congress, Is correct only
in so slight a degree that it had best
be corrected. There are nearly five
hundred Senators and Representa-
tives-hence an edition of several
thousand copies, II distributed pro
rata, gives to each only a few copies.
Some of these the Senator or Repre-
sentative needs for reference, the
few left over are SOC exhausted,
and those constituents who then
write for them are necessarily disap-
pointed, through no fault of the pub
lie man whom they have addressed.
Now, as a general proposition, the
reader who is interested in a Govern
ment publication will serve himself
best by addressing the official known
as the superintendent of Documents,
Government Printing Office, Wash
ington, ID. c., who is authorized to
have reprinted any Government pub
lieation for which there is a demand,
and sell the same, at cost, to all ap-
plicants. He will mail price lists, d.
vided by subjects, free upon appliea-
ton, and remittance can then, as
required by law authorizing such
sales, accompany order.
