1915 New York National Headquarters SURGICAL DRESSINGS COMMITTEE DIRECTIONS

Description

Single sheet of paper dated November 20, 1915, with instructions on how to make surgical dressings, provided by the NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS OF THE SURGICAL DRESSINGS COMMITTEE 299 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK
Directions for Making Surgical Dressings after patterns endorsed by Jos. Pierre Hoguet, advisory surgeon, late of American Ambulance at Paris, France.
CONDITION: Horizontal folds and additional creases. A small burn hole in the center of the page. Shadows and soiling on front, mostly on the edges. Rear has darker rectangles of paper toning, likely due to something having been folded inside of the sheet for a long period. Whatever it was, it prevented the sheet from having two burn holes, which is a plus. The reverse has a few light pencil "x" marks in margin.
This Committee was organized in 1914 for voluntary war relief, shipping millions of surgical dressings to war-stricken Europe. This sheet of paper gave volunteers the instructions on how to create these dressings.
I utilize a third party EBAY supplied shipper for international sales. This is part of the Global Shipping Program. Please note the actual shipping cost before purchasing. That is not my shipping fee and I neither receive it nor know what the amount is. I have no control over import fees that may be charged.
Please do not commit to "buy it now" until you have seen the shipping amount that you will be charged. Thank you.
For International Buyers:  Media Mail shipments only. Please note that, although you are likely paying very high shipping costs to have this item sent to you, I am not charging those costs. In the case of books, I utilize "media mail" to get the box to the third party shipper. "Media mail" is a very SLOW speed mailing process reserved for books and records that are potentially very heavy. If you can not wait for my shipment to reach the third party shipper at a very slow pace, please contact me before purchasing and I can add a faster (and more expensive) alternative to the listing to get the item to the third party shipper.

MEDIA MAIL:
The USPS allows books, records and other media to be mailed at a cheaper price than typical mail. It tends to be a much slower mailing process than standard mail. In addition, any employee of the USPS can open the package at ANY time for ANY reason to verify that what is inside is what should be inside. In most cases, the item is properly repackaged but, in rare cases, it is not and an item can arrive damaged. As my feedback suggests, I package very carefully. If you receive a damaged item that has the appearance of having been poorly packaged, please contact me prior to leaving feedback so that it can be addressed.
