Advance Payment for New Publications
By Editor
Some of our friends urge us to be sure and send them a copy of every good publication we offer for sale, as soon as possible. They do not realize that thousands have the same claim on us that they have. Some see that this would save them the trouble of writing, and also three cents postage. This might be true in a few cases. But should we send each new publication to only two hundred of our friends, we venture to say one half of them would forget to pay for such publications. We judge from experience in this matter. We are ready to adopt a system to accommodate our friends in this thing, as follows: All those who will advance money for the purpose shall have their names and post-office address entered in a book, kept for this purpose alone, and to them we will send every worthy publication as soon as ready, as long as they have money in advance at the office for this purpose. Those who enter into this arrangement will have mailed to them immediately the very first copies of any publication ready.
