Original Publicity stunt Agency Receipts for Year Attracts Stamp Collectors $2S4O Greatest in History
By F. E. b.

What appears to be the most original publicity stunt of the season designed wholly to att tract the growing multitude of stamp collectors, arrived in the nsail this week in the form of an announcement of the open ing of a "Philatelic Mecca at Ocean City, New Jersey. In- closed with the announcement, incidentally, was a beautifully illustrated folder graphically describing the manifold attrac- tions of the resort. This might lead a suspicious nature to be- lieve that an interior motive was lurking somewhere, like the Abyssinian in the woodpile.
 But anyway, the idea of the service, according to the an. nOuncement is to help collec. tors get more satisfaction from collecting, to become more than mere accumulatOrs. Headquarters will be at Con- ventfon hall, Sixth and Board- walk, daily except Sundays from non until 10 p. m.
 There will be a registration bureau for those desiring to trade stamps. One service will be free, the other will cost l0c. There will be a small per- manent educational display of stamps for juniors, with peri odic displays for advanced collectors to be held on speci- fled days. Talks will be given on topics of philatelic interest, with subjects and dates to be announced later. The refer ence room will contain books, journals and catalogs, both do- fnestic and foreign and there will be a display of apparatus, commercial and original.
 The total receipts at the Philatelic Agency for the fiscal year ended June 30 last amounted to $2,34O,484, the greatest in the history of that branch of the PostOffice de.

 Stamp sales at the Philatel- ic Agency for the quarter from April 1, 1895 through June 30 likewise broke all previous records for any three months business in the agency's his-- tory. Official figures show that for the period mentioned there was received at the agency $1,155,000 through the sale of postage stamps, the majority being disposed of to collectors and dealers for which the gov- ernment will not have to per- form any service.
 Of the total amount of mon. ey taken in, it is estimated that the government derived in the neighbOrhood of $1, 400, ,OOO from sales of the Farley un- gummed and imperforate post. age stamps which were first ogered to the public on March IS last and removed from sale on June 15 of this year. Offi- cia1 figures of total sales with the quantities of each variety, however, will not be available until later, it is announced at the department.
