A single money order may include any amount from one cent to one hundred dollars, inclusive, but must not contain a fractional part of a cent.
The public is cautioned :
To take all means to prevent the loss of a money order.
Never send the order in the same letter with the information required on payment thereof.
To be careful on taking out a money order to state correctly the given name as well as the sur- name of the person in whose favor it is to be drawn.
Every person to whom a money order is issued should keep a record of the number, date and name of office of issue, to facilitate inquiry if the order should become lost.
Parties procuring money orders should examine them to see that they are properly filled up and stamped. This caution is necessary to avoid diffi- culties in the way of payment.
A money order may be endorsed once, but not offener.
The person who presents a money order for pay- ment must be identified, if unknown to the post- master, unless identification has been expressly waived by the remitter .of the order on his appli- cation therefor.
The patrons of the Money Order System are ad- vised that banks in this city receive money orders and postal notes the same as checks and drafts, and persons holding same will find it greatly t.) their convenience to deposit them with their bankers, thereby avoiding the crowds which fre- quently throng the lobby of the Money Order Di- vision.
When a money order has been lost by either remitter, payee or endor-ee, a duplicate thereof will be issued by the department free of charge, to the owner of the original, upon his making appli- cation (stating the circumstances of the loss), to be forwarded by the issuing or paving postmaster, from each of whom he must obtain and furnish a certificate that the original order bas not been, and would not be, paid or repaid, as the case may be.
A duplicate order can be drawn only on the issuing or paying office of the original order, and becomes invalid if it bears more than one eudorse- ment, or be not presented for payment within one year from its date.
A money order may be paid upon a written order, or power of attorney, from the payee, as well as upon his endorsement. The written order. or power of attorney, must be filed with the pay- ing postmaster.
A money order which has not been paid within one year from the date of its issue should be for- warded to the Department with an application for duplicate to be furnished by the issuing or paying postmaster.
It frequently happens that the payee of a money order drawn on the Philadelphia Post Office re- sides outside of the city, and is unable to present said order, in person, for payment. In a case like this, in order to insure prompt payment, the payee should receipt the money order on the face or in- dorse it to the "Postmaster, Philadelphia, Pa," then send it with a letter. requesting the post- master to transmit to the payee by mail a new money order drawn upon any money order post office which the payee may designate, for an amount equal to the money order received, less the fee for issuing the new money order.
