IMPORTANT==READ CAREFULLY.

The changes in Grades of Grain, new Railroads and Freight Lines, and advanced methods of doing business has made it necessary to insert new cipher words and phrases in "THE ROBINSON TELEGRAPHIC CIPHER."

The "Revised Edition" retains all the cipher words and phrases of former editions, in identically the same relationship, the only difference being _additions_, which are all _printed in Italics_, that you may easily distinguish and only use them with correspondents who have the "Revised Edition."

Additions will be found on the following pages: 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 49, 49_a_, 78, 79, 80, 81, 85, 86, 87, 88, 92 and 103.

The same care has been exercised in the selection of safe "cipher" or code words, not easily misread from copy or changed in telegraphic transmission, that has helped largely to make "THE ROBINSON CIPHER" the accepted standard code for the Trade.

The cipher words for the new phrases follow as closely in alphabetical order as possible without changing the position of the old ones.

Where blanks occur in or at the terminus of the printed phrases let the cipher word or words supplying such blanks follow the cipher word of the phrase in respective order, as "Revelation, Alkali, Chicago," for "Quote price No. 2 corn laid down in Chicago."

When the price is manifestly above 1.10 the _dollar_ will be understood and not expressed, as "Churl," for 1.35¼.
