ABOUT PRIVATE MAILING CARDS.

The Use Of Those Printed In Imitation
Of the Government Cards Forbidden
After July |.
Private mailing cards or more correct
ly, Post Cards, which are of the same
size as the cards issued by the post
office department may still be used but
they must not be printed in imitation
Of the government cards. An order to
this effect has just been issued by the
Third Assistant Postmaster General.
In this connection it may be well to call
attention to the requirements for the
use of these private mailing cards, or
Post Cards" as they are called in dis
tinction from postal cards" AS al
ready noted they must be of size cor
responding to the size of the govern
ment postal cards. In addition they
should have the words: "Place postage
stamp here" enclosed in an oblong dia-g
gram, placed in the upper right hand
corner where it can be covered by q
postage stamp. Across the front near
the top fthe card but not too near to
not leave room for clear postmark,
should be the words ''Post Card"
Across the bottom of the card should
be printed, This side fer the address"
No other printing should appear on the
address side except such as does not in
any way interfere with perfectly dis
tinct address and post mark. No writ
ing whatever except the address should
appear on the front of the card. If any
thing else is added, postage at the rate
of two cents instead of but one cent win
be collected
The order of Third Assistant Post
master Madden is as follows:
To all Postmasters
The law officer of this department ad-
vises that cards issued by private per-
sons bearing on the address side the
words United States of America" are
in likeness or similitude" of the regu-
lar United States postal card, and there
fore in violation of law, and unavailable.
(Sec. 1901. Postal Laws and Regulations.) }
However, in order to>give owners of
such cards reasonable time to dispose of
those on hand, postmasters will accept
them for mailing until July 1, 1904,
upon payment of postage at the proper
rate. On and after July 1, 1904, such
cards will be treated as unavailable at
any rate of postage.
Postmasters are directed to give this
circular the widest possible publicity,
through the press and otherwise, with
out expense to the department.

children from reaching the Shiawassee
street bridge, and they were carried
across the pond in vehicles to bridge. On
Tuesday night Mrs. Carrie Cook, who
lives beside the bridge, was forced to
move out water running several carpets
Dynamite was used freely, and tn g

Letter to n. w. Mann, owosso, Mich

Dear Sir: You are the agent for De-
voc lead-and-zinc for your town and
country.
The whole doctrine of it turns on
these three points:
(1) 1t is all paint and true paint;
(9) It is the strongest paint;
(3) 1t is full measure.
Because it is all paint, true paint,
proportioned for strength and full
measure,
1) 1t takes least for job;
(2) Looks best all the time;
(3) Lasts longest;
(4) Gathers the trade, and holds GUS
toners.
There is no such argument for any
other paint; there is no other such paint;
there is nothing but talk for any other
paint. Devoe is the paint, IL you want
the facts on your side.
The country is full of experiences; we
bring these experiences to bear on your
trade. Yours truly
II. W. DEvoE q Co.
