An inquiry was made recently concern
ing treatment of fancy post cards by post
Office clerks.
Now, this is certain: No cards are de-
stroyed by the clerks and none is sent to the
dead letter Office for destruction unless it is
of such nature that it cannot, according to
the rules of the department, be forwarded.
But many pretty cards never reach their
destination This is because of the careless
ness or ignorance of the sender. Cards with
nice tinsel and glass on them must be in
closed in sealed envelopes. Many do not
know this

20 do any advertising at ALL
that people knew they could get
the finest kind of merchandise
at this store and that they
would go there whether it adj
vertised or not. The brother
claimed that his sisters state
ment was absurd, and she
slaimed that her brother exag-
gerated the value of advertising.
