Notice has been received at the Show
hogan office that the government has in
preparation for early issue, one cent
stamps in book form, similar to the
books of two cent stamps. which were
first issued about seven years since.
The price of the issue now projected will
be % cents per book of "a stampa. The
issue OF the two cent stamps In books
will also be continued. AS the stamps
In these books are protected by the bind
ing and interleaved with paraffin paper
to prevent premature adhesion, they are
accepted as great convenience for
those who wish to carry stamps about
with them, and, indeed, at the slight
advance over the price of stamps in
sheets, they are considered preferable by
many for ordinary business use. 1t Ia
interesting to note in this connection
that the postal department has realized
profit of hundreds Of thousands of
dollars a year on the sale of the two
cent books, at the slight advance over
the price of the stamps.
