we now present the following add.
tional statement
Dallas was made money order Of
flee on the llth day of August, 1870, a
little over four years ago. During the
first year there were l,75S orders is
sued second year, 2,S43 third year,
2,0l9; fourth year, ending August IL,
1874, 4,77O, making u grand total of or
ders Issued for the four years, 1890,
averaging $40 each, aggregating $685.
800, In value. 1t will be seen that the
number Of orders issued during the
past year nearly doubles that of any
previous year. These figures look
large, but figures won't lie, and they
are taken from the record. Can any
town in Texas of the size of Dallas
make q better showing?
