Askov American., 1943-11-18
ASKOV
New Denmark" Stamp.

stamps to honor the OVerrun cOun-
tries of Europe. The last stamp of
the series is in honor of Denmark
and will be released at Washington,
D. c., on December 7, the second
anniversary of pearl Harbor''. The
entire series is of the five cents de-
nomination.
This Denmark" stamp will be
available at the Askov post office
about December 9. The local post Of
flee anticipates that many patrons
here will want several of these
stamps and for that reason asks that
patrons place their order in advance
so that sufficient supply can be
ordered. The stamps come in sheets
of SO and can of course be used as
postage on any and all classes of
mail. However, many will want to
save some of these stamps and use
them on letters to Denmark when
mail service to that country is again
restored. To insure that you get as
many of these stamps as you want
you should advise the post office
before December l how many you
want.
This is probably the first and last
time that there will ever be a U. S.
postage stamp honoring the little
nation of Denmark, so if you are
interested in having some, then be
sure to place your order as soon as
possible, not later than December /.
