We should very much like to know—what? Why so many of our Journals do not reach their destination. In some cases, where the publishing agent has put packages himself into the mailbags, they have never been heard of afterward.
In other instances, the difficulty is easily understood. Addresses are given to a city only, without street or number. One gentleman came to the office to complain that a subscriber had not received her Journal. The agent immediately took from his drawer the copies referred to, which had been returned from the postoffice, because not taken out by the person to whom they were sent. The imperfect direction had caused all the trouble.
The publishers are doing all they can to avoid mistakes and to rectify methods; but if, in spite of care, blunders and miscarriages occur, subscribers must be patient, and let us know promptly when any obstacle besets their Journals.
