With a view to replenishing this supply, the Society appeals to Members for the contribution of old issues no longer needed by owners. Copies of the first twenty volumes are especially desired. The Society will gladly pay postage in excess of $1.00 for such donations, or, if convenient, arrange for pick up. All contributions will be acknowledged by letter, with an indication of estimated value for income tax purposes. For further information, please get in touch with the Society Office.
