How to read the “Pasters.”
By John Harvey Waggoner
THERE are many who do not understand the figures on the pasters on their papers. A word may help them: Look on the first page of the REVIEW, or at the top of all the pages. The paper for March 9, 1869, is “Vol. xxxiii,” “No. 11.” This would be represented on your paster thus—33-11. If you find on your paper your name and No.—thus: R. Roe, 33-1, you will know that you have paid up to the beginning of this volume; of course you are eleven Nos. behind. If the figures are 33-15, you have paid for three more numbers, and of course it is time to send again. The paper now before me says 35-1, showing that its owner has paid for the current volume and the next also. Every one's figures on the paster ought to be higher than the numbers on the paper. Look at them now!
