standard stamp COMPANY, ST. TOUIS, MO.

Introduction.

The firm so well and favorably known throughout the world as the ‘ ‘ Standard Stamp Company ’ ’ is now incorporated under the State Taws of Missouri with an authorized paid-up capital of $25,000.00.

The business is under the direct management of Mr. H. Flachskamm, who is assisted by a force of from twenty-five to thirty clerks throughout the season. It was founded by him in 1885 and has since enjoyed a prosperous and steady growth from year to year.

The Standard Stamp Company is to- day the largest retail firm in America dealing exclusively in postage stamps.

The firm occupies its own building , especially built for its use, at No. 4 Nicholson Place, and has the finest and most commodious offices occupied by any stamp firm west of New York. Several reproductions of views taken of the different departments will give our many friends and patrons an idea of the size and importance of the business which is carried on chiefly through the mails and express companies.

The firm receives one of the largest mails in St. Touis, numbering very often 800 to 1,500 letters per day. The business is so well systematized that any number of orders can be dispatched with promptness and accuracy.

References as to our responsibility : Bradstreet’s and Dun’s Mercantile Agencies.

We could show thousands of others if space would permit. ; Besides, we think the above will suffice to prove that our STANDARD PACKETS are exactly what we claim them to be —

mr THE CHEAPEST AND BEST.

Although we are an old firm and well known throughout the world amongst collectors and dealers to be the lowest-priced stamp firm in America, we cannot refrain from publishing some of the numerous letters which are daily received by us, and in which both collectors and dealers express their satisfaction at both quality of our goods and promptness in the filling of their orders. All these letters are entirely unsolicited and are Dn file at our offices, where they may be seen at any time during busi¬ ness hours. Some people express their surprise as to “ how we CAN SERR GENUINE stamps SO CHE-APRY,” while other dealers ask two or three times the amount for the same articles. They will understand how this is possible when we say that we are doing the largest business of any retail stamp firm in America and that this is our motto: “ Large sales and small profits A We can prove that we have more regular agents on our books and sell more packets than any two firms combined in this country. We import all of our stamps directry, having purchasing agents employed in every country on the globe, who buy old stamps for us cheaply. We have every facility to fill a large number of orders in a short time and our patrons may always be sure to receive goods ordered by return mail.

Contains 100 well mixed stamps, many different kinds, but all more or less damaged. In every large stamp business there accumulate a number of stamps which cannot be used on sheets, etc., on ac¬ count of their condition ; some having slight tears, some being canceled heavily, etc. As we have a quantity of such stamps we have decided to close them out in this manner. The assortment contains stamps of all grades, regardless of catalogue value! ; and in these lots may be found single stamps worth as much each as the price of the whole packet. Remember these lots contain no very badly damaged stamps ; most of them are heavily canceled or have slight tears, etc., and by mending them, can well be used in any collection. Almost every packet will be different, so that by purchasing two or more lots, not too many of the same kind will be found.

LARGE VARIETY PACKETS.

As we have had numerous inquiries from collectors in regard to Packets containing over 1,000 varieties each, we have deemed it necessary to put up a special series of such Packets, and below we give a list of the assortments with prices.

We hope that many of our old and new patrons will avail themselves of this opportunity and favor us with their orders for these splendid assortments. We fully guarantee the follow¬ ing collections to give satisfaction in every respect. If they are not as represented, we will promptly refund the money.

We give no Albums with these assortments, as we think it better for collectors to select their own Albums. Whenever a dealer gives away any Album with a certain Packet, you may rest assured that he has beforehand added the cost of the Album to the price of the Packet.

We have a complete Buying List of 30 pages, fully illustrated, which gives prices we pay for all U. S. and Confederate States stamps. Price, 10 cents, post free. You should send for this list, as it will give you an idea how the very rare stamps look, and thereby you may find some which are quite valuable. We pay as high as $250 to $350 for certain stamps. There are a great many for which we pay from $1.00 to $5.00 each. Others are worth $10, $25 and $50 each. Do not soak or cut off any stamps ; send us the letters and stamps just as you find them ! Inquire of old business and banking firms who have been in business since 1840 or 1850, and ask them to let you go through their old correspondence.
