STAMP YOUR
SOUVENIR CARDS.
ONE THOUSAND A DAY ARE
HELD UP AT NEW YORK FOR
LACK OF PROPER POSTAGE

A thousand souvenir postal cards
are being held up at the post-ofIice
daily because they bear messages on
the addressed side. in violation OF the
postal regulations. Following for
eign custom, manufacturers OF post
cards in the United States are turn
ing out souvenir cards with a blank
space on the addressed side for a
message. These cards according to
the postal laws, require the regular
letter rate OF postage. that Is a two
cent stamp instead of a penny stamp
In the New York post-ofiice alone
more than 100000 souvenir post
cards are handled daily or this
number 1000 with messages writ
ten on the addressed side carry only
one-cent stamp. In this case 1t
is necessary for the postal authori-
ties to notify the parties that the
cards have not been fully prepaid
and are being held for additional
postage Only about so per cent of
these cards are redeemed. Hun
dreds of souvenir cards also find their
way into the post-ofiice without any
postage whatever. Many persons
think that because the cards are
marked official" they are entitled to
transmission through the mails free.
In England and other European
countries" Assistant Postmaster
Morgan says, post cards are printed
with instructions that messages may
be written in a designated space on
the addressed side. This style OF
card is not authorized by our gov
ernment, and the postal law reads
that where message is written on
the face of card IT is subject To
the regular letter postage"
