New Postal Rates Are
Effective Wednesday

Bismarck residents will start using
the new purple three-cent stamp Wed
nesday to help the government out
of the red.
The three-center is printed in pur-
pie and bears the familiar Stuart por-
trait of Washington. 1t is identical
in size and design with the two-cent
stamp of the Washington Bicenten-
NAL series except for the change in
denomination numerals and omission
of dates.
Local postal authorities said Tues
day that the postoffice had been de-
luged with inquiries as to the date the
new rates would take effect. Despite
publicity given to the new postal
rates, they said that hundreds of let
tiers probably would be mailed from
the city bearing stamps Of the old
two-cent variety.
It takes time. they believe, to get
the public to comply.
Letters bearing two-cent stamps
mailed after midnight Tuesday will
be returned to the sender for postage
If a return address is given on the en-
velope. If no return address Is CIV
en-, letters will be forwarded to the
addressee, collect.

stamps will be used-the current Lin
coin stamp of the regular issue and

series.
Four billion new stamps now are
being manufactured by the govern
iaent.
