THE POSTAL MONEY OBDER SYSTEM
The postal money order system, for some
time being organized for the benefit Of the
public, went into operation on the LIST of
November at the various post offices au.
thorized TO issue money orders. One hun
dred and forty one money order Offices
have been established in the United States
Others will be added to this number as
necessity may require.
Pennsylvania has fourteen Of this mum.
Der; three first class and eleven second
class Offices. Harrisburg, Pittsburg and
Philadelphia, are the first class; Erie,
Honesdale, Jobnstown, Lswistown, Mead.
vile, Newcastle, Pottsville, Reading, Stran
ION and Williamsport are the second class.
Any money order Office can draw on any
other one throughout the State or United
States for the regular fee charged for the
issuing Of the order. No single order will
be issued for more than $40, but any nun
Der of orders of this denomination may
be issued on any Office where it is desira.
BILE to have larger amosNts transmitted
Orders will be issued for any sum under
thirtr dollars that may be desired, and
fees will be charged in proportion to the
amount, as follows:
For an order Of 81 or more, but not ex.
ceeding $40, ten cents.
For an order exceeding $40, but not
exceeding $50, fifteen cents.
For an order exceeding $40. but not
exceeding $50, twenty cents.
The design of the system is to provide
= safer and surer means of transmitting
small remit,ances by mail, and to prevent
the losses and ennoyances which now
occur at times BY the transmission Of tho
money itself. It is believed the checks
and safeguards which are employed in the
system will prevent any losses or errors
in payment, a. much 10 a. drafts drawn
BY one bank upon another. Having this
reliance in it We recommend it to the use
and confidence Of the public, believing
that trial will convince oil Of ito safety,
usefulness and utility.
