The wonderful postal system. which

Its beginning IN the mind OF an ingen-

In 1G5S, early in the reign OF Louis
XIV, NJ. de Velayer established pri-
vate penny post. Boxes We're set up al
the street corners for the reception OF
letters. and Offices were opened In va
rious quarters OF Paris. Collections
were made once a day from the street
boxes. followed many hours later by a
single delivery. and thus the first post
office In the world was established.
NJ, dc Velayer was SO greatly encour-
aged by the success OF his enterprise
that In order TO develop II still further
he printed certain forms of bliiets OF
notes which We're intended to cover all
the ordinary requirements Of business
In great towns. These forms contained
blanks which We're intended to be filled
up by the pen with such special matter
as might be necessary to complete the
writer's object. The idea ut once be-
came popular. and the printed forms
accompanied the expansion OF the post.
