VARIOUS PRACTICAL SERVICES TO ANY READER These services of Adventure, mostly free, are open to any one. They involve much time, work and expense on our part, but we ask in return only that you read and observe the simple rules, thus saving needless delay and trouble for us. The whole spirit of the magazine is one of friendliness. No formality between editors and readers. Whenever we can help we’re ready and willing to try. Remember: Magazines are made up ahead of time. Allow for two or three months between sending and publication. Identification Cards Free to any reader. Just send us (1) your name and ad- dress, (2) name and address of party to be notified, (3) a stamped and self-addressed return envelope. Each card bears this inscription, each printed in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian, Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Japanese: “In case of death or serious emergency to bearer, address serial number of this card, care of Adventure, New York, stating full particulars, and friends will be notified.”’ In our office, under each serial number, will be registered the name of bearer and of one or two friends, with per- manent address of each. No name appears on the card. Letters will be forwarded to friend, unopened by us. Names and addresses treated as confidential. We assume no other obligations. Cards not for business identification. Cards furnished free provided stamped and addressed envelope ac- companies application. We reserve the right to use our own discretion in all matters pertaining to these cards. Metal Cards—For twenty-five cents we will send you post-paid, the same card in aluminum composition, perfo- rated at each end. Enclose a self-addressed return enve- lope, but no postage. Twenty-five cents covers every- thing. Give same data as for pasteboard cards. Holders of pasteboard cards can be registered under both paste- board and metal cards if desired, but old numbers can not be duplicated on metal cards. If you no longer wish your old card, destroy it carefully and notify us, to avoid con- fusion and possible false alarms to your friends registered under that card. A moment’s thought will show the value of this system of card-identification for any one, whether in civilization or out of it. Remember to furnish stamped and addressed envelope and to give in full the names and addresses of self and friend or friends when applying. If check or money order is sent, please make it out to the Ridgway Company, not to any individual. Expeditions and Employment While we should like to be of aid in these matters, expe- rience has shown that it is not practicable.
