Supplies for Shippers.
AS the postal regulations require
that every parcel must have on it the
name and address Of the sender. pre-
ceded by the word "From," each per-
son shipping eggs by parcel post will
find 1t convenient to have rubber
stamp similar to the following:
From
william Smith,
Rural Corners, Pa.
The stamp and an mixing pad will
cost about 80 cents.
The postal regulations also require
that parcels containing eggs are to be
marked Eggs" For this purpose Il
rubber stamp having letters one-half
inch high and reading Eggs" should
be used to stamp this word on each
side Of the parcel. Thus the nature
Of the contents will be apparent no
matter which side is In view.
The sender will soon learn how much
postage each size of parcel requires.
Parcel post scales can be secured at
reasonable prices. Scales are needed
In the farm home on many occasions,
and the parcel post type will serve
these other purposes also. They can
be had for $3.50 and weigh up to 20
pounds. "Union" scales having both
platform and a scoop attachment and
weighing up to 200 or 300 pounds can
be had for from So to $12, If desired.
Size OF Parcels.
In arranging with the customer as
to the size and frequency of shipments
1t is wise to take into consideration
the fact that the larger the parcel sent
Il. e., the more eggs sent in one parceD
the cheaper will be the postage per
dozen. 1t would be much more eco
nomical for the family that uses, say,
four dozens a week to have them sent
In a four-dozen parcel once week
than to have them sent in two two-doz-
