Christmas. Shop through this Christmas Book and your Sears Big General Catalog now. List

all the

thin~s

you want on the enclosed order blank. However,

ypu

blank any plain paper

will

do. Simply

~rint

ot.write plainly your full name, complete address,

including rural route and box number

you hve on a rural route. All members of the family

should order under one name, as

helps us give you better service.

Please be sure to give us the catalog nurr,i.ber, quantity, name of each item, color, size, price,

shipping weight and any special informauon or measurements asked for in the descripuon of

the ttcm you

is best to send money by U. S.

postal notes, postoffice or express money order, or by bank draft or check. Your mail carrier

will

be glad to buy a postoffice money order for you if you live on a rural route. You can also

obtain a money order at your postoffice or from local express agent...

EXAMPLE: If your order weighs

pounds and you rove in Zone

postage will be 59c. Mail Carrier can tell you your zone.

U. S. Postal Notes

U. S. Postal Notes are a convenient and economical way to send money by mail. They can

purchased at postoffices in any denomination up to

$10

for only 5 cents per note. However,

you can buy as many notes

you want at one time. For instance, if you want to send Scars

$15.83 to cover the cost of goods and postage, you would buy a

SlO

note and a $5.83 note,

which would cost you

cents for both. When using Postal Notes to send money to Sears,

write

'~Sears,

Roebuck and Co." on the line indicated for name of payee on the face side, and

your name and address on the back-then enclose with your order.

C. O. D. Orders

Unless there is real need for C.O.D. service, we urge you to enclose postal note, money order

or check when you mail your orders and avoid the extra handling and expense of C.0.D.

orders. On parcel post C.O.D. shipments, in addition to the price of the merchandise and

reguJar parcel post charges, we will bill you for the C.O.D. collection fee which we arc required

to pay the postoffice. The postofficc also collects a money order fee for forwarding the total

amount to us.

We believe very

few

of our customers

will

want to order C.0.D. because of the extra cost.

However, when you need the fastest possible service regardless of cost to you-for example on

emergency orders for repair parts-we

will

ship C.O.D.

We do not accept C.O.D. orders: For less than

SZ.00

(except orders for repair parts); for

merchandise that is cut or made to special measurements; for items that are shipped direct

from one of cur factories; or for shipment to foreign countries.
