Sending Cards? ;
Seal Them
If you’re planning to mail
birth announcements, valen'
tines or just plain bills, it’s
cheaper to lick the envelope
than to tuck in the flap, at
least as far as the post office
is concerned.
We had a lot of confusion j
at Christm-’s time over sealed
and u iserled cards,” Postmas-1
ter Maurice Briggs said this
week, ‘ ‘and it still continues
over greeting cards and
month h ■■■ i
All rj!’ ed mail is first1
elass mail, and unsealed:
mail, if it is under eight (
ouhces -and has no personal (
message (bills are impersonal,
at times) !is third class. Norm- !
ally third class mail is cheaper I
than first class.
f If you seal a birthday card I
or bill, it’s first class and takes
first class postage, which, !
within Kodiak is one cent. If
It’s unsealed, it’s third class,1
! and takes two cents.
Third class is more expen
sive in Kodiak, Briggs ex:
plained, because of the special
low rate of one cent fo? first
class prevailing here because
there is no city deliver^, on'’-'
post office box service,?'
Briggs also askef that all,
persons notify their c'rres-,
pondents of their new box
numbers, which are here to
stay. ‘‘It will not only help the
post office staff get the mail
out faster, but will benefit the
recipients too if they will do
that,” he urged.
