How to Use Red Cross Seals

How TO Use Red Cross Seals
Red Cross seals must be plac
ed only on the back of letters
and not on the address side of
any packages that are going
through the mail. They may
be placed anywhere on matter
going by express. AS many
seals may be used on the b. ok
of a letter or package as may
be desired. Everyone is urged
to use them literally, since
every seal i; a bullet in the
campaign against tuberculosis.
Care should BE- exercised in
sending merchandise through
the mails not to place seals over
The string with which the pack-
age is tied, since this seals the
package against inspection and
subjects it to first class postage
rates.
Red Gross seals may be used
also on the reverse side of mail
matter sent to Austria, Ger
no ny, Great Britain and most
of the British colonies except
india and Australia, Guate-
mala, Uruguay and Portugal
~ fuse TO admit mail bearing
noo-postage stamps.
Red Cross seals may be used
on the face of checks, on bills
ON legal documents, and on any
commercial paper.
These Christmas seals are
not good for postage. They
will no carry mail matter, bu'
any kind of mail matter will
carry them. The slogan of the
campaign this year is. "A mill
ion for tuberculosis from Rec
Cross seals" Every letter Oh
parcel sent out during tie holi
day season should bear one ol
more seals.
