PRICES, TERMS AND WEIGHTS.
Reading edition
From our price list, although full and explanatory, it is difficult for some to get a clear understanding, especially when a complete outfit is wanted, including every iron, belt, &c., to attach power; therefore, write us stating clearly as possible your wants, when we will make a proposal of cost. We will send our printed weight and price list, when required.
As a rule when our customer is ready to order, or on our commencing the work and making it ready for shipment, we require a payment of from one-eighth to one-half of the whole amount, and settlement on or before delivery, which is when a shipping receipt is taken, as the work then passes into the ownership of the purchaser. By special arrangement we often ship to the care of some satisfactory person or firm who will receive and make settlement for the supplies. This person may reside at or near to the point of destination. Do not think us exacting; all we want is an equivalent for our products and some reasonably safe means of getting it.
