The FIRST advance notice with refer

the Rock Island postofilce called at
tention TO the fact that tinseled cards

age, but must be placed In q sealed
envelope, whether transparent or not.
under two cent stamp. Otherwise
such postal cards will be sent TO the

the postofilce was directed 10 this fact
by the receipt of large number Of

for Thanksgiving which the postmas-

BY calling attention to this fact
