appointee of his may order the necessary folders, booklets,
forms, etc., through the financial secretary. No one else
should interfere unless it is specifically agreed that he is to
do so .

annually copies of the “Supply Catalog” (#1264), and the
“Knights of Columbus Gift Catalog” (#1427) which contain
listings of the items available from the Supply Department.

Supreme Council’s Service Program materials and promotional
items.
All directors should be informed that every order should
bear the name, address, council number and location, and
title of the individual sending it. All orders to be charged to
the council’s account at the Supreme Council office must
