Remember This!

When you write to the office on business pertaining to your Review or Instructor, ALWAYS name the Post Office and State where your papers are received.
Such information must be given before we can give credits on the same, or change to any other Post Office.
Do you want credit given on your paper, it is not enough to say, please credit the enclosed amount on Review; but you should also plainly state, either at the heading of your letter or elsewhere, the Post Office and State where the same is received. The name of the town where you live is of no account in the transaction of your business unless it be the same as your Post Office.
Do you want your Review changed to another Post Office, it is not sufficient to say; "Please forward my paper to Boonsboro, Iowa", but you should invariably state from what place you wish it changed.
When you say give credit on "my" Review, be sure that you write in the name of the person to whom the Review is sent. It is true we have Scriptural authority for regarding husband and wife as one, but yet in regard to the matter in question we are constrained to regard them as separate persons, unless, forsooth, they both happen to possess the same name, in which case we should have no occasion to dissent from the Scripture rule.
When you wish credit given on your children's Instructor, do not say "our" Instructor, for on referring to our list, we not only do not find "our" there, but perhaps half a dozen bearing your family name. To whom then shall we give the credit? As we have not the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with all of our subscribers and their children, it is necessary that you should state the name, or names, to whom the Instructor is sent.
Also be careful to write all names and places distinctly and spell the same correctly, and do not forget to sign your name.
By remembering all this, you will not only save us a deal of trouble and perplexity, but secure the transaction of your own business with dispatch, and according to your wishes.
The above, of course, does not apply to those who are in the habit of presenting their business in a plain, brief, and understanding manner.

Business Notes.

Eli Wick: You send $1,00 to apply on Review for Margaret Currant, but do not state where she receives her paper. We must be informed on this point before we can give the credit.
A J Marsh: Yours containing fifty cents is received. You did not state what you wished to have done with the money.
N Aldrich: You say, "Will you please to forward my paper to Boonsboro, Boone Co., Iowa?" We will, as soon as we are informed where you now receive it.
Melissa J Myers: You write from Pleasant Valley, (State not named) and send $1,00 to be credited on your Review. We find neither Pleasant Valley, nor your name on our list. At Pleasant Corners, Ill., however, we find the name of Darius Myers. You also send $1,00 to be credited on John and Leonard Appleby's Reviews, West Plumb River. Their names and Post Offices we do not find on our mail list. Please explain.
Some one writes from Osceola, Iowa, and incloses $1,25 for Instructor, 50c for "my Instructor" and 50c for M Alexander, and 25c for Geo. Cory. No name to the letter.
Somebody writes from somewhere, without name or address, inclosing $1,00 for the Youth's Instructor, and says, "I wish to pay for William Burritt's, South Riley, Mich., and please credit the balance on my Instructor."
