No refund of Contract Payment will be made unless the contract has expired or has been cancelled. If the request is not self-explanatory, state reason.

In case of a credit balance, production numbers in addition to the amounts received on film, accessories, tax, etc., must be listed. Contract payment requests must name the series. All requests for refunds are checked with the Home Office contract reports, contract payment records, ledger balance figures and the branch form "J." By complying with the above considerable time will be saved and the refund passed upon and made without delay. REQUISITIONS 152. All supplies are to be ordered on Requisition Form No. 128, giving complete description of article required. In ordering stationery, mention form number in addition to the name. If it becomes necessary to wire, the number of your requisition must be mentioned in the telegram. Of course, the requisition is to be mailed immediately. Do not forget to identify this requisition as "Confirmation of Telegram of (date)." All requisitions are to be signed by the Manager. The yellow copy is held by the branch as a follow-up. If the merchandise in question is not in stock the supply department prepares a purchase order form No. 100 and mails the "Receiving Copy" thereof directly to the branch. When goods are received, note quantity and condition and mail report at once to Home Office. Since no bills are paid until the Home Office has been advised that goods are received in good condition, you will realize the importance of forwarding acknowledgement without delay. INTER-BRANCH SHIPMENTS 153. As a rule, no branch should order accessories directly from another branch. All orders must be sent to the Supply Department which fills them from stock or through shipment from a branch by issuing an Inter-Branch shipping order, form No. 289. —39—
