Tell Us About It!
During the past month we have had to re-write this advertisement quite a few times, simply because we kept on selling some of the lots before we went to print! As a matter of course we offer to our valued clients who keep us informed of their philatelic interests items which we would love to advertise, and they were so tempting they sold straight away. If you "tell us about it" regarding your particular area of interest we would love to offer you stamps prior to advertising. This not only speeds up our service to you but also allows us to remain very competitive on price by not wasting any advertising space. So please, keep us informed!
