"A new feature of money order
business has recently been adopted
by the Postoffice department which
will no doubt greatly accommodate
the public. An order may now be
drawn upon the Office at which it is is
sued, which formerly could not be
done. To persons who do not keep a
bank account and therefore are IN
able to draw q check, it will be found
convenient to mail a money order to
one living within the delivery of the
postoffice, to whom payment is to be
made.
