The new form of money orders issued
by the postoffice department does not
meet with unqualified approval by those
who use this method of sending and re-
ceIying money through the mail The
form IN use ever since the money order
department was established did not in any
way give the name of the payee, but the
postmaster at the office from which the
order was drawn notified under another
cover the postmaster OF the office of which
the order was payable of the name of the
payee. This method made it almost i'm
possible for fraud to be committed, and
made it as safe as possible to send money
through the mails. A new form,
went into effect December IL, which
makes IT obligatory to fill in the name of
the payee on the order.
