United States Postal

SERVICE-(CONTINUED).

The Registry System provides for special care and correct delivery. Without extra cost, every registered letter or parcel prepaid at the letter rate and mailed at and addressed to any U. S. post office, is insured against loss for its value up to fifty dollars. Registration fee, ten cents in addition to the lawful postage.

A letter or parcel to be registered must bear in serviceable stamps the necessary postage and registry fee, must be legibly and correctly addressed, and bear upon the envelope or wrapper the name and address of the sender; it should be handed to the post-master, clerk or carrier who will give a regular receipt to the sender. Letters or parcels for registry should not be placed in street letter-boxes or in the ordinary mail-drops at the postoffice.
