10y Dealers and Others for the Regular
Issues-The Real Harvest. Though,

THE stamp collecting hobby is a never
failing gold mine o the United States Gov
enment,' said a stamp dealer. STAMP
collectors and dealers every year pay into
the Treasury thousands upon thousands
uf dollars for which you might say they get
absolutely nothing in return.
Some Of the big dealers here and in
Europe carry as much "a $4,000 worth of
uncanceled stamps Of this country at all
times. When you know that there are
1000 and more stamp dealers in all parts
of the world. you can begin to realize what
atremendous sum their stock Of our stamps
must represent Add the value of I'M
cancelled United States stamps owned and
aid away in the albums Of the 100000 coli
ectors who are estimated to follow this fad,
and there will be a total that you can't be-
gin 70 estimate.

stamps is comparatively small. Rarely
are those which CONS into the possession
Of dealers and collectors used for the pur-
rose originally intended. So the money
paid for hem s lost forever, as the Govern
ment never redeems any OF it's s. amps.
While Uncle Sam has a steady good
thing year in and year out in furnishing
The regular issues to collectors, still il is
IN the special issues that the real harvest
is reaped. Take the series of stamps issued
