please let me know so that you can be given credit for it. I don't like to deprive any of you of the pride of authorship nor of the credit due you for it, but with no names whether by an accident on your part or on mine I sometimes cannot do anything else. So if you see your brainchild in print without your name please sing out.
IV. SPECIAL DELIVERY: Some of you send me mail Special De- livery which costs you some 45c extra. It is really a waste of money since the only part of the route a letter travels which is speeded up by this ser- vice is from the downtown L.A. terminal to my substation. Since we only go to the box once a day and sometimes only every other day, we don't get the mail more than one day earlier in any case. Furthermore, we ship on Mondays and Thursdays, so getting it on Tuesday instead of Wednesday isn't going to speed things up any, it still won't go till Thurs- day so save your money.
Another thing Don't send double money orders for ordering two different things, that too is a waste of the MO fee. Put it all on one. EXCEPT of course money for FPE dues should be separate.
V. RECEIPT OF MAIL: I think I must have written of this before but still I get phone calls from persons who are forced to buy from new- stands because they can't receive mail at home. First solution is of course a regular post office box in some substation you can conveniently get to. You have to take it out in your own name but you can have mail sent to it under any individual name masculine or feminine, or under some sort of a "company name" as long as you tell the box clerks on the application what these names are. Secondly if you can't get or don't want to get a PO box then go to a public stenographer or a phone an- swering service and see if they won't receive and hold mail for you for a monthly fee. Tell them you are a traveling salesman and have to have a place to pick up mail in that city. This should solve your problem.
VI. PICTURES: It is strange that when so many expressed pleasure at the picture album issue No. 58 so few have responded to my call several issues back for enough new pictures to make another picture issue. As it is I get just about enough to provide a sprinkling of pictures for the next issue. So how about it? Put on your best dress (or 2 for two pictures) get out your camera, get your wife or FP friend (or buy a self timer), stand up against a good contrast but interesting background and let fly. I can use clear, focused, contrast color without too much red and pink (they photograph as black) but black and whites are easier to re- produce. If you like pics, send yours in!
