228 mcintosh battery and optical co„ Chicago, ill., h. s. a. OUR NEW SYSTEM OF SALE. With this season we have inaugurated a new system of sale which we think will prove very advantageous to “Travel Classes,” “Sabbath Schools,” “Lantern Slide Clubs,” “Camera Clubs,’’ etc., etc., etc., “Art Classes,” and those who are interested in this line of work. We stipulate that you shall purchase not less than 50 slides at one time at the regular price as listed in our catalogue, less 10 per cent discount. On or before the expiration of 90 days from date of purchase if you will return to us the entire number of slides in good condition, we will allow you one-half of the amount paid for them toward the purchase of an equal number of slides; so that if you pursue this policy you will have com- mand of our entire stock of slides, over 40,000 in number, which will cost you only 22^c for plain, and 67*^0 colored, each, net. You will, of course, have to pay transportation charges both ways, and be responsible for any breakage or damage that may occur to slides in use- or in transit. SLIDES TO RENT. For several years we have refused to rent slides to any one for any consideration whatsoever, thinking that it militated against rather than favored business. The demand for renting, however, has been so great that we have been obliged to yield to the same. We therefore have decided to rent slides on the following conditions and terms: We stipulate that the full value of slides shall be deposited with us before we send them out; that transportation charges both ways shall be paid by you; also, that any loss from breakage or otherwise shall be paid by you, and that you shall pay 5 cents per slide for first day, and thereafter at the rate of 2c per day per slide, until slides are re- turned to us. We will deduct from the amount of your deposit, as per foregoing stipulations, and return to you the balance of the money. We have issued a revised edition of our catalogue and actu- ally carry over 40,000 slides in stock, which we are pleased to hold subject to your orders. Yours truly, mcintosh battery & optical co.
