NEW Form OF POSTAL MONEY ORDER -
The Pos, Office department has adopted a
new form of domestic money order which
will be introduced gradually, or as supplies
of the old form become exhausted, at the
various post offices throughout the country.
The new form is somewhat smaller than
the order now in use. Its dimensions are
about those of the ordinary bank draft 1t
has two adiuncts-the advice, or notification
to be sent by the issuing of the paying pest
master, is Reproduction OF the order through
the use of carbonized paper (the manifold
process) and a receipt for the amount, TO be
furnished by the issuing postmaster.
On the back of the order separate space
has been provided for the stamps of banks
through which it may be passed tor collec-
tion.
In color the order is blue, having light
blue ground with fine closely inlerlaced,
tinted lines of geometrical lathc-work, of
darker shade. In the centre is an escutcheon
bearing the words POSTAL Money Order" in
shaded capital letters Of the same two tints
of blue. The TINT of the order and the lathe
work will serve to prevent limitations; but,
Ms an additional safeguard against counter
feting, Il horizontal water mark, composed
of the initials U. S. M. o., in broad capital
letters, has been wrought into the paper on
which the new forms are printed.
The new form has many advantager over
that SO long in use. 1t is simple, being more
like bank draft in shape and make up; as
stated, the remtter gets receipt from the
postmaster for the amount of the order, and
the order may be collected through banks.
