Show Postmasters Give Rules For Mailing Wedding Reception Invitations Next to being born and becoming be-coming dead, the most important import-ant experience in life is getting married. That's the opinion of Norman Baxter, Dick Manzione and Ruben Ru-ben Dotson, postmasters at Milford, Mil-ford, MinersWHe and Beaver. The three postmasters said, in a joint news release issued today: "One of the time-honored constituents of marriage is housekeeping and one of the most popular ways of getting into the housekeeping business is by means of a shower. Since the success of showers is related relat-ed directly to the number of people who attend, it is imperative impera-tive that invitations go expedi-iously expedi-iously and accurately to their desinations, hence the importance import-ance of proper preparaiton." Shower invitations, the postmasters post-masters said, whether in sealed or unsealed envelopes, require the first class rate of postage of 3c an ounce if you show the date, the hour, the place the shower is to be held, name of the prospective bride, etc., in handprinting, handwriting, or typewriting. If the invitations are wholly printed, mimeographed, mimeo-graphed, or duplicated by sirni-, lar machine process, they may be mailed in unsealed envelopes at the third class rate of 2c each. However, printed announcements an-nouncements which are of odd shape or size, or which are smaller than 23A inches in width or 4 inches in length, or which are larger than 9 inches in width or 12 inches in length, require minimum postage of 3c each- For information, or if in doubt about the amount of postage required, ask one of the postal clerks at Milford, Minersville Min-ersville or Beaver. |
