We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Whereas there are certain points as regards collection which have not been covered heretofore, be it resolved : First, that our advertising rates to companies having representatives as members of the society be as follows : Quarter page for two issues $25.00. Half page for two issues $35.00. Full page for two issues $50.00. The last page of advertising, full page, two issues $85.00. Page next to reading matter, full page two issues, $85.00. Second, that those companies not represented by membership in this society wishing to advertise in the Transactions of the society may do so at a rate 10% above prices quoted, it being understood that companies having a representative member shall have first choice of preferred space. Third, that the chairman of the Advertising Committee shall at the time the forms for advertising close for each issue, advise the Treasurer of the society of those advertising, the amount of space taken, and the total amount due for the two issues ; and further, that the Treasurer shall send out a notice covering half the amount due for advertising at the time each of the two issues is mailed, and further that with these invoices should be attached one copy of the Transactions to go to the advertisers. Your committee offers the following resolution for your consideration : Whereas a sustaining member of the society is privileged to one page of advertising for the two issues of the year of sustaining membership, and Whereas there is a special rate for preferred space, Be it resolved, that space available for the sustaining members shall be interior pages, and further that should sustaining members desire preferred space, such space may be obtained by a payment of $35.00 in addition to sustaining membership fee of $100.00.
