Some time ago the post office depart
ment announced that it proposed to
change the form of the money order
blanks and invited suggestions from
the money order clerks throughout the
country as to how improvements might
be made. There was general re-
sponse to the invitation and out OF
the great mass of advice received the
department has devised a new form
FOR the money order business which
is a vast Improvement on the old
The new form is somewhat smaller
than the order now in use. Its dimen-
sions are about those of the ordinary
bank draft. 1t has two adjuncts-the
advice, or notification to be sent by the
Issuing to the paying postmaster, is
a reproduction of the order through
the use of carbonzed paper (the mani
fold process), and a receipt for the
amount, to be furnished by the ssu-
ing postmaster to the remitter.
ON the back of the order a separate
space has been provided for the stamps
OF banks through which it may be
passed for collection.

cal lathe-work, of darker shade. In
the center is an escutcheon bearing
the words Postal Money Order" in

THE MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.

The postal money order system, from
small beginning in 1864, when the
n-mber of money order post offices es-
tablshed i'm the United States was 419,
has grown to be one of the great in
dispensable agencies of exchange.
There are now about 1000 such Offices.
The number Of domestic money orders
issued in the United States during the
past year was over 10000, 600, amount
ing in value to $4,000, 900. The sys-
tenn is used most extensively for re-
mttances from places We're bank ex-
change is not so reasonably obtain
able. While supplementing facilities
for intercourses between populous CEN
ters, it has it's own special field, sup
plying means for the safe and cheap
transmission of money where other
agencies for the purpose could not be
successfully maintained.
In the adoption of the new form of
order the interests and preferences of
patrons of the system, no less than
economy of administration, have been
duly considered; and il is therefore
confidently expected that it will tend
to enhance i'm no small degree the pom
ularity of this method of making re-
mittances. 1t is expected that on or
about Jan. l next the fee charged for
orders will be materially reduced.
