Clubbing Combinations
We make nothing out of these other papers. It means
nothing to us whether you take them or not —if anything,
we are rather prejudiced against them, because we are put
to a lot of trouble to handle them, complaints are sent to us
whenever any one of them falls to reach the subscriber
promptly, and we have the expense of handling these com
plaints and sometimes lose the friendship of our subscribers,
who hold us to blame instead of the publishers of the other
papers.
We offer them solely as an accommodation to our friends
and thus enable them to save from one-fourth to one-half
the cost of publications they desire to take. We have re
moved from our list many publications which have given
poor delivery in the past. Judging from our past experience,
good service may be expected from those listed here:
