GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS UPON POSTAL SUBJECTS.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS UPON POSTAL SUBJECTS.
COMPILED FROM U. S. POSTAL REGULATIONS.
Direct your mail matter to a postoffice and if to a city, add the street and number or postoffice box of the person addressed. If you are not certain that the place to which you wish to send is a postoffice, inquire of the postmaster. Matter not addressed to a postoffice cannot be forwarded. To insure certainty in dispatch of mail, give the county in which the postoffice is situated, and spell the name of the state in full. Write or print your name and address, and the contents, if a package, upon the upper left- hand corner of all mail matter. This will insure its immediate return to you for correc- tion, if improperly addressed or insufficiently paid; and if it is not called for at its des- tination it will be returned to you without going to the dead letter office. If a letter it will be returned free. Register all valuable letters and packages. Registry fee ten cents, which, with the postage, foreign or domestic, must be fully prepaid, and name and address of sender must be given on the outside of envelope or wrapper.
RATES OF POSTAGE.
First Class .- Letters and other matter, wholly or partly in writing-except the writing, specially authorized to be placed upon matter of other classes-and on matter sealed or otherwise closed against inspection, two cents per ounce or fraction thereof. "Drop letters," two cents per ounce or fraction thereof, when mailed at letter carrier postoffices or at offices having rural free delivery service; and one cent for each ounce or fraction thereof at offices where neither letter carrier nor rural delivery service has been established and at offices where rural delivery service is in operation if person addressed cannot be served by rural carrier. Postal cards, one cent each. The face of the card may be divided by a vertical line approximately one-third the distance from the left end; the space to the left to be used for message, etc., but the space to the right for address only. Addresses thereon may be either written, printed or affixed thereto. Very thin sheets of paper may be attached thereon upon condition they com- pletely adhere thereto; such sheets may bear both writing and printing. Advertise- ments, illustrations, or writing may appear on the back or the left third of the face. Postal cards are treated as sealed letters, except when undeliverable to the addressee they may not be returned to the sender. Postal cards bearing particles of glass, metal, mica, sand, tinsel, or other similar substances, are unmailable, except when enclosed in envelopes with proper postage attached, or when treated in such manner as will prevent the objectionable substances from being rubbed off or injuring persons handling the mails. Cards mailed under cover of sealed envelopes (transparent or otherwise) are subject to first class rate; if enclosed in unsealed envelopes, according to the character of message.
