Now. the Postofficc Department is
getting stamps. such as the Pilgrim

stamp collectors. Postmasters have
hetn requested TO report any discon-
tinled issues OF postage stamps which
remain in stock. But up TO the pres
ont time only those kinds which We
been reported.
Another point of misunderstanding is
that tho PostofYicc Department is set
ting up a commercial stamp agency.
One man wrote to know II he could
represent the department in Phila-
dclphia to buy and sell stamps for 1t
there.

buying stamps at all. and I. Is selling
them only at their face value 1T is
written into the postal regulations that
no cmployc in the postal service may
buy or soil stamps at more than their
original sale price.
