NEW MONEY ORDERS.
4 Change in the Form of the Old orders

4 Change in the Form of the old Orders
Same Of payee to be Inserted.
Postmasters at money order offices
have been notified Of IA change i'm the
form of money orders. The principal
change made is that the name of the
payce viii be inserted in the order
The advice is to be used as heretofore
and is chiefly to be relied upon for
making proper payment of money
orncrs. The advantages claimed for
the new form are: The remitter may
inform himself, by examination Of the
order, before he nails it, that the
payee is correctly designated. There
will be less likelihood that the pur-
chaser of two orders for the same
amounts but in favor of different per-
sons, will mail an order to the wrong
payee, and such error will be more
quickly discovered and corrected.
orders will be readily negotiated, in
asmuch as ownership OF the order is
distinctly shown on the face. The
new forms are now ready to be far
pIshed to postmasters.
