Blank Postal Orders Furnished Free To
Merchants.
Washington, Jan. 1.-The postoffice
department has made known that ii
will issue free of charge to any of the
large firms doing mail order business
through the country, blank applica-
tionS for money orders, which will
be print the name OF the firm deSir-
ing them These will be used to remit
to the sellers of goods, and will be in
closed with the statement sent the
buyer, and all he will have to do is to
fill them out and mail at once to the
firm from which he buys the goods. 1t
will do away with the necessity of go
ing to the office for money order, as
he must do at the present time, if the
amount is too small for draft, and
will expedite matters a very great de-
gree. These orders can be cashed at
any bank. Large advertisers will send
these to their customers, and can be
assured of more prompt response to
their shipments
It viii be of great value to the ship
pers of goods throughout the country,
and they will take advantage of the
matter at once. The law goes into
effect Jan. 1, 1900.
