RADICAL CHANGE IN U. S.
STAMPS..
———— •
Ordinary Stamps Can Re Ussd on All
Kinds of Mail Matter—A
Swseping Order.
Ordinary postage tsamps can be
nsed on all mail matter. Including
parcel post packages, beginning, to-
day. This radical change hi the po;-
tal department rules was brought a-
bout by an order from Postmaster
Oaneral Burleson.
There will be no more parcel post
stamps issued by the government
sarlea will be interchangeable until
the exltsing supply has been used up.
Parcel post stamps may be used on
apy mall matter, and the ordinary
stamps can be used on parcel post
packages.
"The ordinary stamps may be plac-
ed on registered packages and on
special delivery letters as heretofore,
only they must be marked appropri-
ately. so the postal clerks will un-
derstand the classification intended.
"The new rule will be a great
benefit to business men and the
ptlblic generally, for H will not nec-
eaeltate the keeping on band of a
supply of the various kinds of stamps.
