TIONS WERE DEFENDANTS

Each year we ask the persons receiving the Consumers' Guide to renew their requests for copies, in this way dropping from the mailing list those to whom the publication is no longer of service. We are making the same request now.

The maximum authorized number of copies of each issue available for official distribution is 150,000. If you wish your name retained on this list, you must fill out and return the top half of the double postal card addressed to the United States Department of Agriculture, which you will soon receive. This must be done promptly within 30 days. At the end of that period, if we have failed to hear from you, your name will be dropped.

In addition to the official free distribution of the Consumers' Guide, copies are available for purchase from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. Individual copies are 5 cents per copy, with a discount of 25 percent for orders of 100 or more. Yearly subscription is 50 cents, domestic; 80 cents foreign. When making a purchase, send money order or cash, not stamps or personal checks.

If you are now on the official mailing list but would like to release your copy for someone else who is eligible to be placed on this list, you may use the form order on the bottom half of the double postal card going to you. This should be enclosed in an envelope with cash or money order and the envelope stamped and addressed to the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.
