Advertisers note: On the disk, Info needed: Dog's Name (if applicable) and FDSB, Company Name (if applicable) Sender's name and daytime phone number.and send it via U.S. Mail.

FIELD TRIAL REPORTS
1. All field trial reports should be submitted as an ATTACHMENT to an e-mail in a Microsoft Word document (which can be found in Microsoft Office 98 software package). Using Microsoft Word allows for larger amounts of text copy to be transmitted than a standard e-mail document. Using this word-processing program reduces the possibility of error during transmitting and is compatible with Microsoft Explorer software.
2. If you do not have this software, send information as a "TEXT-ONLY" e-mail.
3. As a precaution, you may want to fax the report, along with a note that it has also been e-mailed, to the Editorial Department.

If you would like to be billed to your credit card for your advertisement, CALL the Advertising Department ONCE THE ADVERTISEMENT HAS BEEN SENT VIA E-MAIL. Advise the Advertising Associate that the e-mail has been sent.

2. All ADVERTISEMENTS should be submitted as an ATTACHMENT to an e-mail in a Microsoft Word document (which can be found in Microsoft Office 98 software package).
