instituted a new method of register

money. It is in the shape of stub

gum on the reverse side, so that it
can readily be fastened to the pack
age to be sent. This coupon shows
at glance from where and when
the package was sent and it's desti-

taken unless the Standard Oil Co.
places this city on the same level
with surrounding towns.
