FOR MONEY ORDER SENDERS

n while the procuring and sending Of
Ia money order is comparatively simpie, :,
zfsaid money order clerk to a Star man,
|& the fact that We arc asked SO many
& questions by those who ratronize that
fbranch of the government service indi.
'cates much lack of knowledge, or forget
Rfulness on their part.
"a The maximum amount for which q
+ domestic money order may be drawn,
i'll aYabla in this country, Cuba, Canada,
liawaii, Porto Rico, or the Philippines,
Us Slo0. Oiders are now drawn on Cuba
and Canada On domestic form. But you
s'inay obtain two or several orders for
ltthis sum upon the same Office, enabling
- person to transmit large sum by
mail. For inetanpe, thousands OF dollars
have been sent from Havana from the
York. 81
The maximum amount for a single
order payable in Great Britain ia $50.
A person contemplating a trip abroad
awill buy several hundred dollars worth
Vol money orders payable to himself In
f london. If he does not cash them IL
full, he secures repayment of the balance
on bis return homo without additional
cost and without Inconvenience.
Don t ho.d the order as a receipt.
a Send it to the person to whom the
money 10 to be aid.
Keep your receipt safely until you
learn whether the amount has been paid.
railways present your receipt to the
money order clerk at the Office where
YOU purchased the order when you w:sh
10 make an inquiry concerning it. This
K will save you lot OF time and talk.
N1 .zA. -
the receipt IL the same size as the
original order, only Oh white paper,
( don send the receipt with the order,
3 moi send the receipt instead of the
order. as hundreds of people do annually.
is true that the order may he paid
BY duplicate abroad, but il may not, and
delay and confusion result.
If you desire repayment Of either a
domestic or foreign order always bring
the order with you when you go to the
postoiiioe. You will be saved delay,
smother trip and car fare.
k1h' do mot mutiiate the order or change
! &py portion Of it.
Ill Always examine the order carefully
Then you rscsive it from the clerks
+ ~ istakes are often made by the cler ks
A you discover mistake at the window
4 ne enormously drawn order will be
cancelled and new one issued in its
ace. 1t saves future trouble to you
nd to the payee.
So. "Ope Of the main reasons why the
& latute limits the endorsement on an
l1fuer to one is because the government
E not engaged In tue banking business.
lM money order could be endorsed
ithont limit, as check ON bank,
j<he order would become a negotiable
INSTRUMENT, as the term is legally
Understood. A single endorsement makes
#t quasi negotiable.
III an order Is not presented for pay
nenr before the expiration of one year
ON the last day Of the month in
which it was issued it becomes invalid
Ny law. Upon presentation Of the
order, however, il it is domestic, you
WILL get your money in few days BY
warrant and without additional cost.
N DO not forget Fiat foreign orders
:, hre not repaid upon presentation, as
y hre domestic orders. Authority from
,,the government upon which il is drawn
huHt 1rst be obtained though the de-
partment in Washington. This con-
umes aboul six wesss in the case of an
brder drawn on Great Britain and cen.
tral Europe, To three months in the
Ease of an order drawn on Cape Colony,
India or the trans Pacific colonies of
Nhe British empire. Don't worry about
&our money. 1t is safe add you will
Eet it back as expediti1usly az possible.
I'm applying for a duplicate lost
Wpmestio muney order don't expaot to
III it in "a hours. Duplicates are issued
~ the department in Washington and
yeral days must necessarily elRpse
etNfore the application can reach the
NV partment and the duplicate be issutd
tnt d transmitted,
Don't register money order. Some
uAfaul people do. Ii 10 unnecessary
.perule of the department is strict that
.i.loney orders may be paid only upon
Modification, and an Identification
Hnaljy "a complete as the teller OF
pauk reluires upon the presentation OF
check by an unknown person. II u
postmaster effects payment to the wrong
fpufson lie and nut you is the loser.
fIhnt's why they are 30 careful.
The government undertakes for the
required fee to transport for you to
Harticular person or his single endorsee
4 PERTAIN sum OF money payable at a
Eprrticular postotfice. Let the govern
inent worry about it's safe delivery
DOR you.
I.ff lou have vague idea that the issu-
hdnE postmaster must have informed the
Ras ing postmaster in some manner
ai}out you because OF the nature of tho
H4estions put to you when you present
tne order for payment. He gets this
&Qformation by means of what ia termed
{1e ADVICE, paper which contains all
80 particulars you can read on the
INer itself, the amount, date, oliice,
& as we'll as the remitter's name, your
