Jasper County Democrat, Volume 22, Number 99, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 March 1920 — IMPORTANCE OF OLD ADDRESS [ARTICLE]

IMPORTANCE OF OLD ADDRESS

Id Writing The ]>eniocrat to Change Paper to Another Place. Many subscribers seem to assume when writing to have their postoffice address changed for The Democrat that we know which particular John Smith, William Jones or George Brown the card is from, and do not give their old address from which place they want their paper changed. This omission causes confusion and perhaps several weeks delay in getting the change correctly unlade. We have many Smiths, Jcneses and Browns whose initials or Christian names are precisely the same, and not being gifted with second sight we are frequently at a loss to know which ]>articuilar one it Is that wants his address changed, where the old address Is not given. For the information of these careless ones, there are at this time on The Democrat’s subscriii*tion list 17 different Browns, 15 Woods, 14 Yeomans, 14 IS Walters, 13 Coopers 12 Williams, 11 Johnsons, 11 Garriofts, 10 Clarks, 8 Parkers, 9 •Michaels, 8 Nagels, 8 Millers, 8 Moores, 8 Randles, 8 Prices, 7 Normans, 7 Sages, 7 Schanlaubs, 7 Davissons, 6 Maucks, 6 Mays, 6 Meyers, 6 Otts, 6 Beavers, 6 Chuppe, 6 Grays, 5 Wagners, 5 Jordans, 5 Nesius, 5 Hurleys, 5 Potts, 5 Ropps, 5 Strides, 5 Bringles, 5 Culps, 5 Daniels, 5 5 Hickmans, 5 Hopkins, 4 Jones, 4 Parkisons, 4 Amdersons, 4 Antcliffs, 4 Cains, 4 Days, 4 Harris, 4 Hoovers and 4 Hordomans. v There are also many more where two and three surnames are the same, so It is always important to give the old as well as the new address when writing to have addresses changed, and likewise give address when remitting for subscription.
